I knew something like this was coming over a week ago, and reported it on Bleeding Cool, but I had very scant details. Something called TMNT: Journeys #1 to be written by Peter Laird, and to be scheduled by IDW for August, but that was all. Well, now we have a much better idea indeed. In 2001, Mirage Studios published Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Volume 4 by TMNT co-creator Peter Laird and Jim Lawson. It entirely ignored continuity from the previous Volume 3 published by Erik Larsen at Image Comics and went back to earlier Mirage Studios comics for its canon. It ran sporadically, an issue every two months for the first few years, then two in 2006, then nothing in 2007, as Peter Laird put the book on hiatus so he could work on the TMNT animated movie. The comic resumed with single issues in 2008, 2009, #31 just published on Peter Laird's on his blog in 2010 and then #32 in 2014. But after that, nothing for the last ten-plus years, as Turtles was sold to Nickelodeon. Now it seems that it will be reprinted in full, in individual issues by IDW as TMNT: Journeys, and may even be continued and concluded? Certainly collected. But first, TMNT: Journeys #1 will be published as part of IDW's August 2025 solicits.
