Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Launching IDW's celebrated run in 2012, this 23-issue series redefined the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for a new generation, blending classic Mirage-era grit with fresh, ongoing mythology. Written primarily by Kevin Eastman, Tom Waltz, and Bobby Curnow, with art from Cory Smith, Dan Duncan, and Ross Campbell, it established the Turtles' definitive modern origin and status quo. A cornerstone of IDW's TMNT line, this series matters for its cohesive, character-driven storytelling that honored the past while forging a bold, interconnected universe.
