STRANGER THINGS and TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES Comic Book Crossover Announced
IDW Publishing and Dark Horse Comics have announced that they are teaming up for a project that will see Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles crossover with Stranger Things! The cover art for the comic was shared on social media and it came with the note:
"The comic book crossover event of the summer is coming. Stay tuned for more details! @DarkHorseComics."
The comic is being written by Cameron Chittock, and the art will be created by Fero Pe. Unfortunately, we don’t have any details to share yet on what the story will entail, but it seems like it’d be fun to see the Ninja Turtles embark on some kind of crazy adventure in the Upside Down!
The Ninja Turtles have had a lot of crossovers over the years including Batman, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Ghostbusters, X-Files, Usagi Yojimbo, and Street Fighter.
Stranger Things and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have already crossed over in the form of action figures, thanks to Playmates, which released four two-packs featuring new versions of the Turtles paired with characters from Stranger Things, including Raphael and Jim Hopper, Michelangelo and Dustin, Donnatello and Lucas, and Leonardo and Eleven.
The toy crossovers came with a narrative reason for the crossover with the box reading: "The Turtles have tracked TCRI's latest illegal experiments from NYC to Hawkins, Indiana, where it's trying to harness the power of the upside down. The half-shell heroes must team up with eleven and her friends to try and stop TCRI's next experiment before it succeeds."
It remains to be seen what kind of story the comic will tell.
