Leonardo

The Leonardo of IDW's Rise of the TMNT universe is a mutant ninja turtle and member of the iconic quartet alongside Donatello, Michelangelo, and Raphael, trained by Splinter — reimagined here with a fresh aesthetic distinct from earlier incarnations.

A fresh spin on a beloved name, this Leonardo burst onto the scene in 2018 courtesy of creators Dale Malinowski, Andy Suriano, and Ida Hem — part of IDW's Modern Age take on the Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles universe. Across a compact but spirited run stretching into 2024, he shares his pages with Donatello, Michelangelo, Raphael, and Splinter, the iconic ensemble that makes any TMNT corner of comics feel like home. With appearances spread across the promo material and tie-in series like Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Sound Off!, this incarnation represents the exciting, contemporary reimagining that keeps the franchise vital for new generations of fans.
