First Look at The Long-Lost Finale For The Classic 90s TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES Comic Series
IDW Publishing has announced that the long-lost finale for the 90s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Urban Legends comic book series will finally be coming and they’ve offered a couple of pieces of art teasing what’s in store.
The incomplete TMNT series was originally released from 1996 to 1999, and it will finally be concluded with an all-new story running from issue #24 through #26. The comic publisher even brought in the original creative team of writer Gary Carlson and artist Frank Fosco to bring their ending to the Urban Legends saga to life.
The new storyline, which debuts with issue #24 in April, “unmasks the mysterious and deadly Lady Shredder, leading to a senses-shattering showdown that TMNT fans have waited two decades to see!”
Carlson had this to say in a statement:
“It's a pleasure to be able to finish up the TMNT storylines that Frank Fosco and I started over twenty years ago. I have always been proud of the issues we did at Image. It’s great to know that our run hasn't been forgotten, and that so many fans are excited to see how it would have ended.”
Fosco added:
“After all these years, we're excited to finally be able to wrap up this awesome storyline... so put a helmet on, buckle up, and jump on for an exciting ride full of twists and turns. We've all been waiting for this!”
Editor Megan Brown also said:
“IDW is proud to have helped Gary and Frank’s adrenaline-packed iteration of TMNT reach its natural and satisfying conclusion. It’s been an immensely rewarding experience to bring this series to both a new audience and old fans, and to see a renewed interest in the wonderful Urban Legends!”
It’s pretty crazy that after all these years Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Urban Legends is finally getting an ending that the fans never thought would come.
