TMNT #300 Gets A Blind Bag For This Kevin Eastman & Peter Laird Cover

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #300 gets a blind bag for this never-published Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird TMNT cover

After more than 40 years of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT) the comic book is approaching its milestone 300th issue… if you add up all the volumes. Look, I am sure someone out there has done it. Some help in the comments, maybe? To commemorate the milestone, and for ComicsPRO week, IDW has crafted a blind bag programme featuring multiple versions of a never-before-seen cover from co-creators Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird, a J. Scott Campbell variant, and more surprises to be revealed. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #300 comic will kick off the storyline The City That Never Dies with writer Gene Luen Yang and artist Freddie E. Williams II. In which Splinter has returned from the dead, but at what cost? This special commemorative issue will feature a back-up story from co-creator Kevin Eastman and fan-favorite writer Tom Waltz along with a roster of classic TMNT artists that celebrates the many eras of the Ninja Turtles.

And then as Bleeding Cool previously reported, a new Roninverse title, The Last Ronin: Training Day, an oversized one-shot issue will see the return of Michelangelo as the Last Ronin as he prepares Casey Marie Jones, the daughter of April O'Neil and Casey Jones, to continue the epic battle against the Foot Clan and, one day, lead the next generation of Ninja Turtles.

"300 issues! Gene Luen Yang and Freddie E. Williams II pulling out all the stops and kicking off an epic new TMNT storyline," stated Senior Group Editor Jake Thomas. "What more could fans want? Well, how about a double dose of Kevin Eastman and Tom Waltz, with a backup story in #300 exploring the legacy of the TMNT line with a murderers row of classic artists and a new one-shot installment of their Last Ronin saga with THE LAST RONIN: TRAINING DAY? This July, it's never been a better time to be a TMNT fan, and we're just getting started. 2026 is shaping up to be a banner year for the heroes in a half shell. 300 issues is just the beginning, the next 300 starts here, and I cannot wait to share it with fans."

"For more than 40 years, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles has been rooted in themes of brotherhood and resilience," said Josh Silverman, President, Global Products & Experiences, Paramount. "The Turtles' stories continue to evolve while staying true to the beloved characters, classic humor, and action‑packed storytelling that have captivated generations of fans and cemented the franchise's place in pop culture. Comics remain a defining expression of that legacy, allowing new adventures to unfold, expanding the universe, and deepening the stories in ways only this medium can."
