The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic book line is having a banner year in 2024. Not only is IDW kicking off a star-studded relaunch of the monthly TMNT series and continuing the Last Ronin saga, now they're gearing up for a crossover with one of the biggest anime and manga properties on the planet. That's right, the heroes in a half shell of TMNT and Naruto are joining forces.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles x Naruto is a joint effort between IDW Publishing and Viz Media. This four-issue series is written by Caleb Goellner (Sonic the Hedgehog) and illustrated by Hendry Prasetya (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers), with colors by Raúl Angulo (NYX) and letters by Ed Dukeshire (The Woods). Jorge Jiménez (Batman) and Prasetya provided cover art for issue #1, which you can check out below, courtesy of IGN!
Here's IDW's official description for issue #1:
It’s the coolest ninja matchup you could have ever dreamed of, had you dared! The Heroes in a Half-Shell meet the host of the Nine-Tailed Fox in the crossover everyone will be talking about.When teenage reporter April O’Neil has a clandestine meeting with Tsunade, the leader of the Hidden Leaf Village, it garners the attention of Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, and Kakashi. They aren’t the only ones who are wondering what the two women were discussing, though. The sinister Foot Clan have their own interest in April’s visit, as they think she might hold the valuable information on mutation research being conducted by the scientist Baxter Stockman. With April caught between the forces of the Hidden Leaf Village and the Foot Clan, it can’t be long before the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles show up to lend her a hand!Working with acclaimed manga publisher Viz Entertainment, IDW is pulling together two of the most popular comics in the world to bring you the four-issue comic book event of 2024!
“I’m stoked and humbled to get to work with the coolest talent in comics and manga to introduce the ninja created by my heroes in a massive mutagen and chakra-fueled adventure for fans everywhere," Goellner told IGN. "What else can you call it but an honor? Let’s party."
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles x Naruto #1 will be released on November 13, 2024.
