The IDW Turtles series reimagines the franchise's titular characters—brothers Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, and Michelangelo—as sons of Hamato Yoshi, a member of the Foot Clan led by Oroku Saki in feudal Japan. When Yoshi leaves the Clan, Saki (who will later be known as Shredder) murders Yoshi and his four sons. In modern times, the spirits of Yoshi and his sons are reincarnated as a rat and four turtles, respectively, in a research laboratory owned by Baxter Stockman, a scientist who has secretly allied himself with the extraterrestrial Krang. After coming in contact with the alien mutagen, Yoshi and the turtles are transformed into intelligent, humanoid beings. Living in the sewers, Yoshi (now called Splinter), remembers his past life and begins to train the turtles in the art of ninjutsu. Allying themselves with April O'Neil and Casey Jones, they are threatened by Shredder, who has survived through the centuries; Shredder's descendant Karai; and Krang, who seeks to conquer Earth.

The initial creative team on the IDW series consisted of Eastman (who collaborated on the plot and the page layouts), writer Tom Waltz, and artist Dan Duncan. In 2017, it became the longest-running comic book series in the franchise's history, surpassing Archie Comics' Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures, which ran from 1988 to 1995. Starting from issue #101, IDW series writer and artist Sophie Campbell took over as the sole lead writer for the series.

Publication history edit

2011–2024: original series edit

In April 2011, IDW Publishing acquired the license to publish new collections of older Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comics from Nickelodeon, as well as a new ongoing series. The first issue of the new series was released on August 24 that year. Turtles co-creators Kevin Eastman and Tom Waltz wrote the book, with Eastman and Dan Duncan providing art.[4] In 2017, issue #73 of the main ongoing series was published, making it the longest-running comic in the franchise's history, surpassing Archie Comics' Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures.[5] In 2019, issue #100 of the comic was published, concluding the eight-part "City at War" arc. Starting with issue #101, series writer and artist Sophie Campbell took over as the sole lead writer for the book.[6]

2024: relaunch edit

It was announced on January 12, 2024 that the current volume would end with issue #150 and a new volume would launch in July 2024; with Jason Aaron taking over as the head writer.[1][7] It was announced on January 22, 2024, that the first four issues of the new series will each be drawn by a different artist (Joëlle Jones, Rafael Albuquerque, Cliff Chiang, and Chris Burnham, respectively); with each of the first four issues spotlighting a different turtle (Raphael, Michelangelo, Leonardo, and Donatello, respectively). Following these issues, Albuquerque will then draw the second story arc.[8]

Plot edit

Volume I edit

Issues #1–100 edit

Hamato Yoshi is a member of the Foot Clan led by Oroku Saki during Japan's feudal period. After seeing Saki act ruthlessly, Yoshi leaves the Clan and is marked a traitor, and Saki orders Yoshi's entire family to be put to death. Yoshi's wife, Tang Shen, is attacked and severely wounded by Foot ninjas, and with her last breath, she beseeches Yoshi to protect himself and the children. He flees with the boys and remains on the run for several years. Saki, who will later be known as Shredder, eventually finds Yoshi and his children and murders them all.

Centuries later, Yoshi and his sons' spirits are reincarnated in modern times as a gray rat and four green turtles, respectively, in a research laboratory called Stock Gen, owned by Baxter Stockman, a scientist who has secretly allied himself with the extraterrestrial Krang. An intern at Stock Gen, April O'Neil, names the turtles after Renaissance artists: Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello, and Raphael. Members of the Foot Clan break into the facility to steal an alien mutagen. The animals are taken by mistake, and when they and the stolen mutagen get lost in the sewer, they are covered with the spilled mutagen and transformed into intelligent, humanoid beings.

Yoshi, now called Splinter, remembers his past life and begins to train the turtles in the art of ninjutsu. Unfortunately, the seemingly trivial event which led to the creation of the Turtles and Splinter is part of an escalating conflict between several powers trying to take control of the Earth:

  • The Foot Clan, with their leader Shredder, who has survived into the modern age due to the machinations of the shape-shifting witch Kitsune, and having new recruits such as Jennika, Alopex, Koya, and Bludgeon
  • The Utrom warlord Krang, who plans to terraform Earth into a new home for the last survivors of his race
  • The zealous government agent John Bishop, leader of the Earth Protection Force, who seeks to eradicate mutantkind and aliens
  • The mysterious Madam Null and her enterprise Null Group, a business conglomerate with its hands in many ventures and ties to other dimensions deliberately create mutants as a slave workforce
  • A mysterious Pantheon of immortal demigods, some of whom subvert humanity to their will, as they once did in bygone times.

Finding new allies as they go, the Turtles are forced to strive against enemies and save the world from destruction as this many-fold conflict begins to spin out of control. The conflict culminates when Kitsune, a member of the Pantheon, attempts to resurrect the Dragon to end humanity, which the Turtles and their allies attempt to thwart.

Issues #101–150: Rebirth edit

With a mutagen bomb attack by Hob on the New York populace during Baxter Stockman's inauguration as the city's new mayor, the world's public is made aware of the existence of mutants. A ghetto called Mutant Town is erected in the heart of Manhattan to quarantine them, with Hob and his Mutanimals exercising loose political control over its inhabitants.[9] The Turtles and their friends unite to make Mutant Town both a better place to live in and a hub of tolerance and communication with the outside world, but new conflicts begin to emerge:

  • Zom becomes pregnant and gives birth to a daughter, hailing a new era for the Triceratons, but also stirring hostility in the radical Utrom Ch'rell
  • Lita, a mutant albino turtle child the Turtles take in, is revealed to become a time traveler under time mistress Renet and has traveled to the present to stop the Turtles from splitting up in the future
  • The Punk Frogs, a street gang of mutant frogs, attack the Turtles and burn the dojo, believing that they took away one of their members, Bonnie
  • A mad mutant surgeon by the name of Jasper Barlow experiments on mutants to make them more human, kidnapping Bonnie as part of her experiments (who becomes Venus, a turlte with psychic powers) and eventually resorting to inhumane methods to become human again
  • The Rat King, a member of the Pantheon, is eager to see his family's power game brought to a conclusion and attempts to unleash the Armageddon Game upon the world, a conflict that involves every major character up to that point
  • Having foreseen the arrival of Armaggon, a monstrous devourer from the streams of time, Donatello becomes obsessed with stopping this menace and travels through time, inadvertedly creating the monster.

The result of the Armageddon Game is the downfall of both Krang and Ch'rell, the destruction of Mutant Town's borders, as well as the banishment of all the Pantheons from the planet. In his attempts to stop Armaggon, Donatello ensures the reincarnation of his family, but his faith is shaken and Lita reverts back to a human.

Characters edit

The series reimagines the origins of the Turtles, as well as other characters such as April O'Neil, Splinter, The Shredder, Casey Jones, and Baxter Stockman. Notably, the series, like the original Mirage version, initially gives all four Turtles red eye masks until issue #5, where Splinter gives Leonardo, Donatello and Michelangelo their well-known blue, purple and orange masks, respectively, with Raphael keeping his signature red.

The series features characters and plot devices from throughout the TMNT franchise, including:

It has also introduced new characters, such as:

  • Jennika, a young Foot Assassin. Initially loyal only to the clan rather than its leader, she now pledges her service to the Foot's new leader, Splinter and his sons. In time, she begins a relationship with Casey Jones. When she is fatally stabbed by Karai, she is administered Leonardo's mutagen-infused blood in order to speed her healing, but is in the process transformed into a mutant turtle[14] and joins the Ninja Turtles as a fifth member.
  • Old Hob, a mutated alley cat and former enemy of Master Splinter, now founder and leader of the Mutanimals gang. Stemming from his bitter personal experience with humans, Hob intended to prepare for what he perceived an inevitable war between mutants and humans, eventually resorting to terroristic means to recruit his Mutanimals army. After his plans come to naught, he decides to establish an independent mutant colony on North Brother Island.
  • Alopex, a mutant polar fox who begins her new life as an assassin of the Foot Clan, but later becomes a friend of the Turtles and Raphael's romantic interest. It is later revealed that she was intended to be a pawn for Kitsune, a role Alopex eventually rebelled against.
  • Woody Dirkins, a young pizzeria employee and one of the first human friends of the Turtles. He later develops a crush on Angel after meeting her at the Turtles' Christmas party.
  • Harold Lillja, a middle-aged and highly paranoid, but extremely gifted inventor who befriends the Turtle family through Donatello.
  • Kitsune, a shape-shifting immortal witch, sister of the Rat King and the youngest member of the Pantheon, who has helped the Shredder through the ages with the intention of making him the new host for the Pantheon's long-lost patriarch, the Dragon, and who seeks the destruction of humanity so that only the Pantheon will remain masters of Earth.
  • Takeshi Tatsuo, a samurai from medieval Japan who became the founder of the Foot Clan. Betrayed by his clanspeople for his ruthlessness, but aided by Kitsune, he was reborn in the body of Oroku Saki/the Shredder.
  • Oroku Maji and Masato, two chunin of the Foot Clan who brought down Takeshi Tatsuo for his bloodthirsty ways and were later killed by his reincarnation, Maji's son Saki.
  • Kid Demon (or just "Kid"), a lesser demon and guardian of Yomi who encounters the Shredder during his journeys into the afterlife.
  • Koya and Bludgeon, two loyal mutated henchmen of the Foot Clan: Shredder's pet reconnaissance falcon and a hammerhead shark.
  • Mori Toshiro, an elderly mentor of the Foot Clan who is often consulted by Karai for his wisdom and serenity.
  • Lindsey Baker, a former aspiring biochemist researcher at Stock Gen, later recruited by Old Hob to create his mutant army. She is also the first TMNT character in an official storyline to be outed as a lesbian.[15]
  • Herman, a mutated hermit crab and member of Hob's Mutanimals gang with a soldier's personality and bearing who acts as the Mutanimals' "tank".
  • Sally Pride, a mutated lioness and talented vehicle operator, and initially a member of Hob's Mutanimals gang. However, after becoming displeased with Hob's methods, she defects to the Turtles' side and later becomes Mutant Town's first mayor.
  • Brooklyn S. Bridge, Angel's father and a former member of the Purple Dragons who now runs a bar named Skara Brae.
  • Kara Lewis, a young New York police officer and a friend of Michelangelo and Casey Jones. Because of her personal experiences with mutants, she is made an NYPD liaison to Agent Bishop, but she strongly disapproves of his fanatically hostile attitudes towards all mutants. After the fall of Mutant Town's walls, she becomes the chief of a special NYPD precinct in Mutant Town and an official friend of the Turtles.
  • Richard Miller and Frank Corbin, two corrupt and rivaling NYPD detectives who were once on the paylist of the Savate Ninja.
  • Ma'riell, a moderate-minded Utrom who disapproves of her brother Ch'rell's brutality and loyalty to Krang. After the Utroms' revival on Earth, she becomes their official leader.
  • Lieutenant Kleve and Corporal Montuoro, two Utrom military officers and loyal followers of Krang. After Krang is killed by Leatherhead during the conclusion of his war crime trial on Neutrino, they revive Krang's loyal second-in-command, Ch'rell, from his stasis sleep.[16]
  • Chi-You, a temperamental member of the Pantheon and the template for the ancient Chinese war deity of the same name.
  • Aka, the eldest member of the Pantheon who is amicably neutral in human affairs.
  • Libby Meitner, an inventor and Harold's former wife and partner, who betrayed him for her own profit and has become the chief engineer for Darius Dun and his Street Phantoms. She has since made up with Harold, but his concern about her welfare has caused Harold to break his ties with the Turtles until Donatello eventually manages to reconcile with him.
  • Pepperoni, a baby protoceratops befriended by Raphael. Originally from the Cretaceous period, she met the Turtles during a couple of time-travelling adventures with Renet and accompanied them back to the present day, where she stays as a pet.
  • Anchovi, a young velociraptor or deinonychus picked up by the Turtles and Renet during the Bebop & Rocksteady Destroy Everything! storyline, and later Bebop and Rocksteady's companion in the Hit the Road! miniseries.
  • Jill Amante, Lindsey's ex-girlfriend and a leading geneticist at Null Industries.
  • Zodi and Krisa, a female scorpion mutant and female python mutant respectively, created by Null Industries as secret operatives.
  • Maureen Lin, a young New York Police Detective who befriends Michelangelo while looking for her missing brother-in-law, who is revealed to have been killed by Wyrm.
  • Toad Baron, a hedonistic member of the Pantheon who strives to be the perfect host for anyone who enters his realm, even against their will.
  • The Dragon: The allfather of the Pantheon, and a child of Brahma, who was entrapped in the netherworld by his sister, The Dreamer. Kitsune seeks to restore him to his "rightful" place on Earth (despite her siblings' opposition) by using Shredder as his host.
  • The Dreamer: A daughter of Brahma, the allmother of the Pantheon, and the Dragon's opposite in the aspect of creating and preserving life, whereas the Dragon stands for the destruction of life. She entered sleep and watched humanity through her dreams; when the Dragon perverted them, she imprisoned him in Oroku Saki's soul to neutralize him.
  • Gothano, a Cthulhu-esque, soft-voiced member of the Pantheon who wreathes himself in a black robe.
  • Ocho: A yokai guardian of the Kira no Ken. She was transformed by Kitsune into a giant anthropomorphic mole, and quartered in the last chamber of the cave where the sword resided. She joins Karai's entourage when she receives the sword.

  • Hakk-R, a cyborg bounty hunter and assassin from Dimension X, hired by Krang to dispose of accusatorial witnesses before his trail.
  • Zom, a commanding Triceraton officer and General Zog's love interest, who seeks to establish a home for her people, who were artificially created from Terran triceratops DNA as a slave race for the Utroms.[18]
  • Wayne Bishop, the former founder and director of the Earth Protection Force, and father of its current director, Agent John Bishop. After investigating the Roswell incident, he used the technology and alien (Utrom) DNA recovered from the site to aid his son, a preemie, which left John intellectually fully developed but physically a stunted, dwarfish mutant. Long a retiree, Wayne is killed by his son when Hob attempts to use him as a bargaining chip for Slash's release.
  • Special Agent Ravenwood, a member of the Earth Protection Force. She is revealed to be the result of a secret government experiment which split her body into six separate entities with a collective consciousness, and bestowed her with superhuman strength, body elasticity, and longevity. Her state makes her empathize with other mutants, including (at least initially) the miscreants Bebop and Rocksteady.
  • The Inhabitants of Mutant Town:
    • Lita, a small New York child mutated into an albino turtle who is taken in by Clan Hamato. She was named after the rockstar Lita Ford.[19] In an alternate future, she is shown as an orphan after a catastrophic chain of events leads to the break-up of her adopted family, and she was subsequently taken in and trained as a time mistress by Renet[19] and is able to go back in time to rectify this mistake.
    • Zanna, Zink and Mushroom, three mutant weasel children bred by Hob to serve as merchandise for the Foot Clan in exchange for vital supplies. After escaping their captivity, they are taken in by Clan Hamato.

  • The Mutanimal Enforcers, a gang of bullying mutants recruited by Hob to "keep the order" in Mutant Town.
  • Antoni Rosetti Junior, the young son of a mafioso who was assassinated by Jennika while she was still human. He was raised by his ambitious mother, who wanted him to ascend as head of his crime family until she was trapped in Mutant Town and later tries to enlist the now-mutated Jennika to train him. Antoni and Jennika become friends, even after Antoni learns about their common past, and after escaping his mother, Jennika gives Antoni into April O'Neil's custody.
  • Lola Cruz, a reporter who is eager to score a story about life in Mutant Town. Later on, she joins April O'Neil and Mona Lisa in founding Mutant Town's own journalistic team.
  • Doctor Jasper Barlow, a mutant albino mouse, surgeon and self-declared "scientific researcher" who pursues a twisted idea of "restoring" mutants to their former natural selves, making use of cybernetic implants or combining body parts into Frankensteinian creatures.
  • Zara Flood, Baxter Stockman's personal secretary and henchwoman
  • The Warp Turtles, a trio of humanoid, shape-shifting turtles from an alternative future named Roy, Pris and Max (after android characters from Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?), created by Donatello's future self with the Warp Crystal in an attempt to compensate the loss of his family. In his bitterness of having caused his family's dissolution, Future Donatello eventually ends up killing Max, but Roy and Pris accompany a time-travelling Donatello.
