Venus Comes To Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles For Free Comic Book Day

Published Sat, 07 May 2022 10:03:12 -0500

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Free Comic Book Day edition for 2022, is out today. Well, it is Free Comic Book Day. And it is here to set up the big new Turtle event from IDW in the summer, TMNT: The Armageddon Game. But the story being told is a rather familiar one.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles For Free Comic Book Day

And just in case you don't get it, the story by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird that inspired this new take by Sophie Campbell and Tom Waltz, is in the back.

Beat for beat, panel for panel, the original story is recreated for the new storyline, in a massive homage the kind of thing you don't often get these days. And as the Rat King prepares his assault on the city, and the Turtles, we get the first look at their new member, all stitched together…

First introduced as a live-action character in the 1990s, Venus was the first female Turtle, preceding Jennika (introduced in IDW's best-selling issue #95) by over two decades. She first appeared in the television series, Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation. There, she was portrayed by Nicole Parker and voiced by Lalainia Lindbjerg. And now she is the lynchpin of The Armageddon Game.
