SCOOP: Andrew Joustra Writes New Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Comic

SCOOP: Andrew Joustra writes Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comics for IDW in October, also publishing TMNT Battle Nexus


Bleeding Cool previously provided scoops for upcoming Turtles titles, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers/TMNT III, Shredder and TMNT: Journeys. But there is more to come. Such as IDW launching two new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles titles in October.

Firstly Tales of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1 launching from IDW, written by Andrew Joustra. And Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Battle Nexus #1 by… someone else. I don't know who. Look, I only get the pizza crust crumbs…

But I do know that Andrew Joustra is the writer of the upcoming short animated film Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Chrome Alone 2 – Lost in New Jersey, after being the script and recording coordinator for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem. So IDW are getting him to write the Turtles comic book series for the end of the year.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: Battle Nexus was a 2004 beat 'em up game developed and published by Konami. It was a sequel to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game, which was based on the 2003 TV series. The game features cel-shaded graphics and the Feudal Japan arc, in which the origin of Oroku Saki is discovered. Odds are that this comic book will be based on that game.

IDW Publishing is an American publisher of comic books, graphic novels, art books, and comic strip collections. It was founded in 1999 as the publishing division of Idea and Design Works, and is best known for its licensed comic book adaptations of films, television shows, video games, and cartoons, as well as originating a few TV shows as well.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was conceived by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird as a comic book one-shot in 1984, but due to its popularity, it became an ongoing series. The comic created the Turtles franchise of five television series, seven feature films, numerous video games, and a range of toys and merchandise.
