Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Gets Comic Adaptation
The Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles animated series on Paramount+ is getting the comic book treatment at IDW Publishing. For the first story, Mikey Levitt (who worked on the TV show’s production team), is making his comic book writing debut. Andew Joustra is writing the second story with Louie Joyce (Godzilla: Skate or Die) providing the art.
“TMNT comics are so iconic, so to have this opportunity to create a new iteration is a dream come true,” Levitt said. “Now having written for the show and comics, there are so many exciting paths within this world we can send the characters, and I think the fans will love where we go this time! I don’t want to reveal too much, but if you’re a fan of the robot characters throughout Turtles’ history, you may want to buy yourself a copy when these come out! One more thing I’ll tease: Not every villain we’ve said goodbye to is truly gone…”
Characters who originated in the TV series will make their comic book debut, and classic TMNT characters that haven’t appeared in the show will also be in the comic.
“I’m beyond thrilled and honored to be going on a new adventure with the Turtles,” Joustra said. “We’ve been given the unique opportunity to further explore this iteration of the TMNT and introduce them to a new spin on some familiar faces. It has particularly been a dream come true for me to reimagine my favorite TMNT character, the Fugitoid, for these issues and to tell a surprisingly personal story with him. I don’t want to give too much away, but let’s just ZAY I’ve had a TON of fun working on this project and leave it at that. Cowabunga!”
Joyce provided the main cover, Chalky Wong provided cover B, and Jon Lankry created a 1:25 variant and a full mural 1:50 variant.
“The style and aesthetic of this latest generation of Turtles is so unique and fun! I’m having a blast exploring and expanding on it through my own art and storytelling. Humor, heart, action! It’s all happening on these pages, in that perfect TMNT way,” Joyce said.
Tales of the TMNT #1 goes on sale October 15, 2025.
