Tales of the TMNT comic book series arriving this fall
Popular animated series Tales of the TMNT will have its own comic book series via IDW Publishing.
Revealed today, the series will feature stories from writers Mikey Levitt (Tales of the TMNT production team) for the first story and Andrew Joustra (TMNT: Mutant Mayhem production team) for the second story. Artist Louie Joyce (GODZILLA: SKATE OR DIE) will deliver artwork for both three-issue stories.
Levitt said this about the forthcoming series:
“TMNT comics are so iconic, so to have this opportunity to create a new iteration is a dream come true. Now having written for the show and comics, there are so many exciting paths within this world we can send the characters, and I think the fans will love where we go this time! I don't want to reveal too much, but if you're a fan of the robot characters throughout Turtles’ history, you may want to buy yourself a copy when these come out! One more thing I'll tease: Not every villain we've said goodbye to is truly gone…”
Joustra also said:
“I’m beyond thrilled and honored to be going on a new adventure with the Turtles. We’ve been given the unique opportunity to further explore this iteration of the TMNT and introduce them to a new spin on some familiar faces. It has particularly been a dream come true for me to reimagine my favorite TMNT character, the Fugitoid, for these issues and to tell a surprisingly personal story with him. I don’t want to give too much away, but let’s just ZAY I’ve had a TON of fun working on this project and leave it at that. Cowabunga!”
Joyce also said:
“The style and aesthetic of this latest generation of Turtles is so unique and fun! I'm having a blast exploring and expanding on it through my own art and storytelling. Humour, heart, action! It's all happening on these pages, in that perfect TMNT way.”
Tales of the TMNT #1 will be released on Wednesday, October 15. A special New York Comic Con variant will be revealed soon.
