Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Utrom Empire

Set in the early days of IDW's acclaimed Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles universe, this three-issue miniseries from 2014 spotlights the alien Utroms and their complex history on Earth. Writer Paul Allor and artist Andy Kuhn expand the mythos of the villainous Krang's people, exploring their crash-landing in the American West and the centuries-long schemes that ripple into the Turtles' present. A key piece of the larger IDW TMNT saga, it bridges the gap between major storylines while giving these enigmatic extraterrestrials their own compelling spotlight.
