by Olly MacNamee
With the soar away success of Transformers and G.I.Joe: A Real American Hero over at Skybound, it must be something of an annoyance at IDW Publishing, the Hasbro properties’ last home. But, there is a lot of good news, particularly with the announcement of the renewal of the deal between the publishers and Paramount Global, home of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles properties. And in a year that marks their 40th anniversary. And still looking like teenagers after all this time. Must be something in that goo they all fell into as youngsters.
Speaking about the new deal, Lourdes Arocho, SVP, Licensing & Publishing, Consumer Products, Paramount. said:
”We are delighted to continue our relationship with IDW Publishing for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comics and graphic novels. After 40 years, there are still so many more stories to be told, and we can’t wait for everyone to see what’s next.”
IDW Co-Publisher Mark Doyle added:
“The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are iconic. They are part of the tapestry of comic book history and I’m honored to be publishing their continuing adventures during this milestone year. Our Editor-in-Chief Jamie S. Rich and the Editorial team have put together an incredible publishing plan that will thrill long-time fans, excite new readers and show why the Turtles stand shoulder to shoulder with the biggest heroes in comic shops all over the world. It’s a great time to be a fan of TMNT!”
And on that note, here are all the upcoming TMNT releases coming to a comic book store near you:
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin II – Re-Evolution, is out on March 6th while the regular Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series head for a milestone 150th issue in 2024 too. A. great excuse to celebrate 40 years of these Heroes in a Half-Shell, surely? All this and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Saturday Morning Adventures, inspired by the classic 1987 cartoon. And with more announcements to come, no doubt.
