The TMNT Have Officially Joined the Rest of the World

John Dodge — Thu, 29 Jun 2023 19:30:14 GMT

While the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have always lived on the fringes of society, they were never so far removed from it as when the walls surrounding Mutant Town went up. Now that they have come down, however, the heroes of the Splinter Clan can't help but be pulled into the outside world along with the rest of New York City's mutant population. Unfortunately, the Heroes in a Half Shell still don't know what life above ground really looks like, and it's beginning to seem like some of them never will.

Crashing's Matthew Klein Talks New Collection and Book Tour

Alex Batts — Tue, 27 Jun 2023 14:00:16 GMT

Superhero stories often focus on the grand, epic battles between heroes and villains. Brawls across rooftops and showdowns in the stars bring readers unbelievable sights of wonder and action. While these tales certainly have their place, sometimes stories that take things back to the ground are better suited to deliver the catharsis readers need. Such is the case with IDW's miniseries Crashing, written by Matthew Klein with art by Morgan Beem. Following ER doctor Rose Osler, the series takes readers into the high-stress environment of a hospital dealing with the fallout of heroes fighting villains.

The TMNT Comic Book Just Spoiled Armageddon Game

John Dodge — Tue, 20 Jun 2023 16:41:14 GMT

Over the course of the past year, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have amassed new abilities, surprising allies, and countless new enemies, all in the hopes of staving off the threat of the villainous Rat King's Armageddon Game. Along the way, the event itself has developed into what might just be the biggest the Turtles have ever known, which makes it all the worse that the ending has just been spoiled, and all without giving readers any idea what actually happened.

TMNT's Raphael has Street Fighter's Psycho Power

John Dodge — Mon, 12 Jun 2023 01:00:16 GMT

The worlds of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Street Fighter have finally collided, and things are as intense as anyone could have hoped for. Surprisingly, that doesn't mean there are any particularly strange sets of circumstances under which these two franchises have come together. Even if they have found the perfect bridge between them by giving at least one Hero in a Half Shell his very own superpower.

Star Trek Writers Usher in an Interstellar Day of Blood in Brutal

Dave Richards — Fri, 09 Jun 2023 21:08:21 GMT

Star Trek stories are often sci-fi tales of diverse individuals coming together to confront frightening phenomena and the vilest of villains. But what happens when the galaxy's most malicious malefactors unite behind the vicious doctrines of one charismatic individual? That question is currently being explored in IDW's Star Trek titles, where the enemy is a murderous cult known as the Red Path, led by the cloned Klingon Emperor, Kahless II and composed primarily of Klingon warriors. The Path's ranks are growing, and many of their members come from the galaxy's other great powers.

IDW Reveals The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' Greatest Strength

Thomas Panter — Wed, 07 Jun 2023 17:00:17 GMT

Despite the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle’s place as a megalithic cultural touchstone, the franchise has always maintained a somewhat chaotic sense of identity. From its dark and violent original comic book to its multiple animated adaptations, each had its own wildly different interpretation of the characters, themes and setting. The franchise has proven time and time again that, like the Turtles themselves, its greatest strength is its versatility.

Best TMNT Comics For New Fans

Jason Jarman — Sat, 03 Jun 2023 23:16:12 GMT

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have been fixtures in global pop culture for nearly four decades. Created by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird, the titular heroes-in-a-half-shell have permeated every form of media, from TV cartoons to live action films and everything in between. Many of their stories, both on the page and screen, are fairly straightforward. But almost 40 years of history is a lot of canon to sift through.

IDW's Transformers Had Their Own Suicide Squad

Kale Robinson — Wed, 31 May 2023 21:00:15 GMT

Firstly known for usually being comprised of antiheroes and coerced villains, DC’s Task Force X is equally defined by the cause of its colloquial nickname. As the Suicide Squad, their missions are infamous for their mortality rates. Meanwhile, on the television side is The A-Team. Being the Suicide Squad’s extreme opposite, its heroes are recognized for jumping into adventures with a near by-the-numbers action-packed success. Just as citable is their consistent survival rate in the face of these odds. Somehow, The Transformers combines the headline elements of these teams to effectively propel their own.

Dark Spaces Good Deeds #1 Review

Sergio Pereira — Mon, 15 May 2023 17:43:16 GMT

After the release of Dark Spaces: Wildfire, the anthology continues with a new story and team through IDW Publishing. Written by Che Grayson, drawn by Kelsey Ramsay, colored by Ronda Pattison, and lettered by Shawn Lee, Dark Spaces: Good Deeds #1 takes the tale in a different direction from its predecessor. There's an element of intrigue and interesting protagonists here, but it isn't quite the attention-grabber that fans might have hoped for.

Ninja Turtles' Shredder is Working With Power Rangers' Lord Zedd

John Dodge — Fri, 05 May 2023 02:00:15 GMT

Over the course of their histories, the Teenage Mutant Ninja turtles and Power Rangers franchises have given rise to heroes who stand as the pinnacle of their respective universes. At the same time, they have also introduced fans to villains who embody the absolute worst their worlds have to offer. Worse still, the latest team-up between the Heroes in a Half Shell and Angel Grove's very own Teenagers with Attitude has given the former's oldest enemy a chance to join forces with the latter's most dangerous foe for the next chapter in a story that won't end well for either of them.

The Ninja Turtle's Metalhead Upgraded the Power Rangers’ Megazord

John Dodge — Thu, 04 May 2023 21:00:15 GMT

Both the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Mighty Morphin Power Rangers have made some truly astonishing allies over their respective hostories. Of course, few if any have formed as close of a bond as quickly as the Heroes in a Half Shell and Teenagers With Attitude have with one another. This isn't just for everything they share in common as characters, however, but what they share as products of their era, as their shared creation of a brand new Megazord has proven beyond any doubt.

TMNT: The Last Ronin Gives Michelangelo a Powerful Upgrade

Renaldo Matadeen — Thu, 04 May 2023 17:01:13 GMT

In Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin - The Lost Years, Michelangelo's backstory is dissected in a split storyline. While the present shows the new Turtles in the Big Apple, fans are also learning about his past before he came back to New York to take down Shredder's grandson, Oroku Hiroto. Unfortunately, Michelangelo couldn't escape his bad luck after his brothers and Master Splinter got killed, bringing even more tragedy into his life.

TMNT: The Last Ronin Transforms Michelangelo Into Daredevil

Sayantan Gayen — Wed, 03 May 2023 15:00:16 GMT

After almost four decades of world-building, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have perpetrated every known cliche in the book, from radioactive waste giving superpowers to the lone warrior out for revenge. While IDW is currently exploring the latter trope, there is one other that has found its way into Michelangelo's journey as he continues to learn new ways of fighting back.

Armageddon Game Just Revealed the Ninja Turtles' Future

John Dodge — Sun, 30 Apr 2023 18:01:13 GMT

With the Rat King's Armageddon Game almost at its end, the eponymous heroes of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #139 (by Kevin Eastman, Tom Waltz, Sophie Campbell, Fero Pe, Ronda Pattison, and Shawn Lee) have one final lesson to learn before they face off against their immortal enemy.

And, it has also given each of the Turtles a glimpse into their not so far futures.

Transformers Had a Cyberpunk Spin on HBO's True Detective

Kale Robinson — Sat, 22 Apr 2023 00:00:14 GMT

HBO’s True Detective regularly follows the procedural efforts of paired detectives as contemporary troubles lead them to revisit a horrific case from their past. The crimes are brutal, often unfolding into larger conspiracies that re-inform current events. Its influences have been argued to go beyond Robert W. Chambers’ short story collection The King in Yellow to include Grant Morrison and Alan Moore.

IDW Reunites the Ninja Turtles With Usagi Yojimbo

John Dodge — Tue, 18 Apr 2023 20:00:12 GMT

In the decades since the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles first burst onto the scene, the Heroes in a Half Shell have transformed throughout the many iterations of their iconic story. Along the way, they managed to team up with everyone from the Power Rangers to Batman. Unsurprisingly, the Turtles even crossed paths with another anthropomorphic comic book icon from the 80s, and their latest crossover with Usagi Yojimbo is already shaping up to be the most action-packed of them all.

IDW's Ninja Turtles Have Several Comic Book Crossovers

Timothy Donohoo — Wed, 05 Apr 2023 20:10:12 GMT

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles may be more well-known in other mediums, but they first came out of their shells in comic books. In the past several years, they've had a successful reboot through IDW, reclaiming their former prominence on the printed page. Said presence is continuing with an interesting trend that goes back to their indie roots.

Dungeons and Dragons Saturday Morning Adventures #1 Review

I-j Wheaton — Fri, 31 Mar 2023 16:46:42 GMT

IDW Publishing presents a brand-new ongoing series in Dungeons & Dragons: Saturday Morning Adventures #1, picking up where the 1980s cartoon left off after its abrupt cancelation. Written by David M. Booher and IDW mainstay Sam Maggs, with art and colors by George Kambadais and letters by Ed Dukeshire -- the new series starts off with a bang. Both the original show and the reboot comic follow regular kids Hank, Eric, Diana, Presto, Sheila, and Bobby, transported to the world of the Forgotten Realms by a magical rollercoaster in a classic isekai adventure, and their quest to foil evil and hopefully find their way home.

The Ninja Turtles' Fifth Member Has Superpowers

John Dodge — Thu, 30 Mar 2023 11:00:15 GMT

Throughout the course of the Armageddon Game, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have ventured as far as needed to call upon every ally they possibly can. While the likes of the Neutrinos are certainly surprising on their own, no one was more unexpected in joining the Splinter Clan than Oroku Saki, better known as the Shredder. With his help, the Turtles have come to master astonishing new abilities they never could have dreamed of. Though some have had more luck with them than others, it is Jennika who is discovering that her own mystical talents could save not just Mutant Town, but her soul as well.

TMNT's Michelangelo Learned New Martial Arts in Last Ronin

Sayantan Gayen — Thu, 23 Mar 2023 21:01:12 GMT

For years, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have honed their martial arts skills, with each one of the turtle brothers specializing in an ancient weapon of their choice, from twin sai and katana to nunchucks and bō, there is no shortage of gear. However, when the enemy is someone from the Shredder's bloodline with the Foot Clan at their feet, one turtle has to learn new tricks or fail in his mission to avenge his family.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Armageddon Game #6 Review

Sayantan Gayen — Mon, 20 Mar 2023 18:06:38 GMT

The pantheon of Gods in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles universe still remains oblivious to their brother, the Rat King's actions as he aims to win the Armageddon Game. But to everyone's surprise, another contender has forced their way in and is wreaking havoc on the denizens of Mutant Town. Colonel Ch'rell leads his Utrom brethren to war after defeating General Krang -- an outcome that sits well with the Rat King but not with the ninja turtles, who are on the back foot in this war. Published by IDW Publishing, written by Tom Waltz with artwork from Vincenzo Federici, colors by Heather Breckel, and letters from Shawn Lee, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Armageddon Game #6 spreads the heroes thin.

The mission becomes personal when Worf's son falls in with the Red Path.

Transformers: The Autobots' Worst Defeat Led to Their Best Comic

Kale Robinson — Fri, 10 Mar 2023 02:00:14 GMT

In 2005, IDW Publishing acquired the rights to the Transformers franchise, and released several concurrent titles that each took a turn at establishing new lore. A few years in, however, with the continuity getting unwieldy, IDW softly rebooted the franchise, resetting the stage once more. Only this time, the villainous Decepticons had already won.

The Transformers Once Crossed Over With a Shaving Mascot

William Pagent — Wed, 08 Mar 2023 12:01:16 GMT

The Transformers are no stranger to comic book crossovers, having interacted with a wide berth of unlikely characters including Rom the Spaceknight and the Ghostbusters. However, their most bizarre crossover was with the mascot of Schick Hydro, an American shaving razor brand. This was part of a joint advertisement sponsorship for 2017's Transformers: The Last Knight and Schick Hydro, who created a new mascot that was a transforming shaving razor; something very on-brand with the Transformers.

Casey Jones Betrayed the TMNT and Power Rangers Because They’re Losing

John Dodge — Wed, 01 Mar 2023 22:00:14 GMT

In the time since they first teamed up, the Power Rangers and Ninja Turtles have grown accustomed to dealing with one another's respective villains. Unfortunately, even that could never prepare them for one of their own to turn on them for seemingly no reason at all. While it was obvious that there was more to Casey Jones' heel turn than simply being disillusioned with his fellow heroes, that also isn't as far from the truth. At least when it comes to the wars they have never stopped fighting.

The Classic Ninja Turtles Villain Krang Was Just Killed Off

John Dodge — Wed, 22 Feb 2023 02:00:15 GMT

For as long as the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have been around, they have been tasked with facing off against some of the most menacing villains in all of pop culture. As famous as the likes of the Shredder and Foot Clan may be, the Turtles' more monstrous enemies have made just as great of an impact. This is especially true when it comes to the fearsome albeit diminutive General Krang, which makes it all the more shocking that his reign has come to a gruesome end almost as soon as he returned to claim it.

A Ninja Turtles Villain is Starting Their Own Clan

John Dodge — Tue, 21 Feb 2023 02:00:14 GMT

Over the past year, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' lives have changed in previously unthinkable ways. Not only have they opened their doors to their oldest nemesis, but they have also laid to rest the age-old feud between the Splinter and Foot Clans. Of course, the Turtles aren't the only ones who have made an effort to let go of the past to embark on something new. In fact, it is one of their most menacing foes who might be leading all of them into their brightest potential future, even if he has no idea how important his work really is.

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are Joined by A New Hero in IDW's The Armageddon Game #5

Hannah Rose — Mon, 20 Feb 2023 23:09:47 GMT

The Rat King steps ever closer to world domination by plunging the world deep into war. The Impostor Turtles have sown discord and painted the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as public enemy number one, turning humans, mutants, and aliens against them and each other. Luckily, the Turtles and their allies have a glimmer of hope in their new recruits, the formidable Four Winds, led by Cherubae -- if they can free them from the demon Noi Tai Dar and Madame Null. Meanwhile, one of the Trio of Terror, General Krang, has a score to settle with his fellow Utrom, Colonel Ch'Rell, but his battle may already be over.

TMNT’s Armageddon Game Has Transformed Venus De Milo

John Dodge — Mon, 20 Feb 2023 18:00:14 GMT

When Venus De Milo made her introduction to the currently ongoing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series, she was nothing that fans could have expected. Far from the soft-spoken long-lost sister to the Splinter Clan Venus was in her original incarnation, this version was a patchwork mutant that couldn't be described as merely a Turtle. At least, that was the case until the Armageddon Game showed Venus exactly who she is supposed to be in the most literal way imaginable.

TMNT: Armageddon Game Shows a Grim Future

John Dodge — Mon, 20 Feb 2023 16:00:14 GMT

When the threat of the Rat King's Armageddon Game first emerged, the heroes of the Splinter Clan wasted no time in pushing back against it. From scattering themselves across the cosmos in search of powerful allies to letting their own worst enemy into their lives as a mentor, there is nothing that the Turtles haven't done to stave off the end of the world. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like those efforts are paying off as they had hoped. Donatello has just stumbled into the world in which they lose, and it is more bleak than any other.

In the alternate future of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin -- The Lost Years, it's a very different New York than fans are accustomed to. It's been years since Michelangelo died avenging his brothers against Shredder's grandson, Hiroto, which has led to a new TMNT pack rising up.

Throughout the course of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin, readers saw Michelangelo lead the charge against the Foot Clan and the descendant of Oroku Saki. While the heroes' final assault on their oppressors was successful, it was also the tragic final battle for many fans' favorite members of the Splinter Clan. Thankfully, the series also left off with hope for the future, and two franchise icons are making sure that hope doesn't go to waste as both the leaders and parents of the next generation of Heroes in a Half Shell.

TMNT: The Lost Years Reveal the Last Ronin’s Missing Past

John Dodge — Tue, 31 Jan 2023 18:00:14 GMT

The story of the Last Ronin was one of the most critically acclaimed chapters in the history of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise when it arrived last year. Now, entirely new layers of the story are being unraveled for fans to explore. While the future is certainly exciting, the glimpses of the past that readers have been given might be even more so. Especially since they have revealed exactly what drove Michelangelo to leap back into the fray in the first place.

A Transformer Comic Explained Optimus Prime's Brutality

William Pagent — Mon, 30 Jan 2023 20:00:12 GMT

Many fans of the Transformers franchise have criticized Michael Bay's portrayal of the traditionally stout but kind-hearted Optimus Prime within his live-action film franchise produced by Paramount Pictures. Optimus' nobility was replaced by extreme violence and brutality that was unbecoming of the character's usual depiction, even for a soldier like himself. Despite director Michael Bay failing to create an excuse for Optimus' barbarity throughout his films, IDW Publishing managed to create a satisfying reason for why the Autobot leader was particularly quick to violence in 2011's Transformers: Dark of the Moon.

When the Rat King decided to kick off his ominous Armageddon Game, he assembled a Trio of Terror consisting of the worst villains the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have ever known. Since then, Baxter Stockman and Null have embarked on a joint crusade to set Mutant Town ablaze from within, all while Krang plotted a course of action that could do the same to the rest of the world. Of course, such a massive undertaking requires nothing short of an alien army, and Krang has just lost control of his at the worst possible time.

TMNT's Armageddon Game Could Change the World

John Dodge — Fri, 27 Jan 2023 04:00:13 GMT

Over the past year, tensions surrounding the Rat King's ominous Armageddon Game have built to what has proven to be a disastrous breaking point in multiple ways. While the Turtles themselves have scattered across realities in search of some much-needed help, their worst enemies have banded together to ultimately middling if not effective results. Worse still, the most powerful allies that the Heroes in a Half Shell could ever ask for can only watch as the action unfolds.

IDW Brings Back the TMNT's Most Dangerous Enemy

John Dodge — Thu, 26 Jan 2023 04:00:14 GMT

Over the course of nearly forty years, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have seen some truly astounding scenery whether at home on Earth or across various dimensions. Unfortunately, it is the most memorable landmark from one of the latter that is about to make the series' biggest comeback of all time, and not for the better. In fact, unless the Heroes in a Half Shell can figure out how to stop it, the arrival of Krang's infamous Technodrome might just be what ends their entire world.

IDW's Transformers Series Gave a Decepticon a Sister

William Pagent — Sat, 07 Jan 2023 20:00:13 GMT

2022's Transformers: Last Bot Standing graphic novel acted as Nick Roche's spiritual send-off for IDW Publishing's time with the Transformers franchise. As such, Roche included plenty of fan service to conclude his run on the franchise. For example, he gave Steeljaw; the lead antagonist of 2015's Robots in Disguise animated series, his own sister. While the animated series became a divisive topic among fans when it first released on Cartoon Network, Decepticon Revolutionary Steeljaw quickly became a favorite among both fans and critics of the show.

IDW has been publishing Star Trek comics for a few years, but this week sees the first tie-in to the newest, critically acclaimed series, Strange New Worlds. Set immediately after the events of season 1, The Illyrian Enigma #1 explores the crew of the Enterprise's reaction to the events of the finale.

Megan Levens provides the line art, with colors from Charlie Kirchoff and letters by Neil Uyetake. The Illyrian Enigma #1 should help tide Trek fans over as they wait for the season 2 premiere but may leave readers unfamiliar with the series cold.

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ Casey Jones is Leading The Punk Frogs

John Dodge — Mon, 26 Dec 2022 14:00:13 GMT

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have been in desperate need of help as of late, especially with the threat of the Rat King and his cadre of villains looming. Worse still, the Heroes in a Half Shell have only managed to alienate their closest allies in recent months, although that looks like it is finally starting to turn around thanks to none other than Casey Jones. Not only has Casey begun to make amends with his oldest mutant companions, but he may also have even bridged the gap between them and their newest mutant rivals, and all without any of them even realizing it.

The Transformers Once Resorted to Consuming Aliens

William Pagent — Sun, 25 Dec 2022 15:00:14 GMT

During the hauntingly dark Transformers: Last Bot Standing graphic novel (by Nick Roche and E. J. Su), the result of a billion years of war was put on full display when almost all life in the universe was eradicated. This forced former Autobot leader Rodimus Prime to betray his entire race to ensure that no one could continue the genocidal civil war between the Autobots and Decepticons. But while Rodimus was on his own path of destruction, other Cybertronians decided to save themselves by turning organic aliens into a fuel source.

The Rat King has gathered his team of villains before announcing the start of the Armageddon games, which puts him at an unfair advantage. Although late, The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are trying to cover as much ground as possible, looking for allies far and wide in other dimensions. The previous issue focused on Shredder's granddaughter, Karai, who takes a page from the Rat King's playbook and tries to build her alliance. TMNT: The Armageddon Game - The Alliance #2 from IDW Publishing makes Casey Jones the protagonist, fighting through some personal demons. Written and illustrated by Will Robson, the book features colors from Andrew Dalhouse and Gigi Dutreix and letters from Shawn Lee.

Godzilla has had many bloody clashes with legendary Toho monsters, some of them even alien and mechanical. In terms of deadliest arsenal, Gigan surely takes the top spot. Godzilla Rivals vs. Gigan #1 from IDW Publishing resurrects that deadly rivalry with a story from Keith Davidsen, art from SidVenBlu, colors from Valentina Pinto, and letters from Nathan Widick.

Sonic The Hedgehog has had a long life that spans multiple media, and although the games are where he is most well-known, there are hundreds of comics from Archie Comics and IDW that gave fans more stories and characters to love. Sonic Adventure was the first game that brought Sonic to a 3D space and even influenced the character design of the comics, but the reverse never seemed to happen.

REVIEW: IDW Publishing's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Saturday Morning Adventures #2

Sayantan Gayen — Thu, 03 Nov 2022 22:07:49 GMT

What started as a funny thought by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird became a dark storyline concerning four turtles brothers fighting to keep their city safe, collectively knowns as the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Not too long ago, The Last Ronin showed an apocalyptic future where the last turtle fought to finish their life's mission. But between then and now, the franchise has tried to become more family-friendly to gain mainstream popularity. One of the foremost attempts was a light-hearted animated series that introduced many motifs and changes that have remained to this day. Written by Erik Burnham with artwork from Tim Lattie, colors by Sarah Myer, and letters from Jake M. Wood, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Saturday Morning Adventures #2 is a fun, nostalgic romp.

Sergio Pereira — Wed, 26 Oct 2022 15:52:48 GMT

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise has always been about fighting the odds. Now, there is no bigger obstacle for the Turtles and their new ally, Shredder, than Rat King and his cohort's sinister Armageddon Game. Sadly, this story is nowhere near the conflict as IDW Publishing's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Armageddon Game #2 -- by writer Tom Waltz, artist Vincenzo Federici, colorist Matt Herms, and letterer Shawn Lee -- continues to tease the highly anticipated battle, instead of diving in.

REVIEW: IDW Publishing's Crashing #2

Sayantan Gayen — Mon, 24 Oct 2022 15:52:19 GMT

In a world where society has grown tired of superpowered individuals fighting and endangering innocent bystanders, politicians attempt to ban superheroes and strip them of their healthcare rights. But Dr. Rose Osler of Mass General is still on the fence, having to cater to superheroes by day and supervillains by night while her husband spearheads the anti-powers warcry. As the walls start to close in, Rose falls back onto old destructive habits. Crashing #2 from IDW Publishing, written by Matthew Klein with artwork from Morgan Beem, colors by Triona Farrell, and letters from Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou is a grounded tale that progressively takes its protagonist through a downward spiral with every turn of the page.

Transformer's Arcee Deserves Her One-Shot Tribute Comic

Elliot Swan — Sun, 23 Oct 2022 02:00:12 GMT

The most famous female Transformer just got her rightful moment in the spotlight. IDW's one-shot: Transformers; Best of Arcee (2022) includes reprints of stories featuring the wisecracking Autobot, Arcee. The sharpshooting maverick first appeared in the 1986 animated film: Transformers The Movie. She quickly became a recurring character in film tie-in Transformers comics as well. Arcee often missed out on the limelight due to uncertainty around marketing a female Transformer to a male-dominated audience. When she was featured in past comics or animated films, she was pigeonholed into stereotypical female roles as the matron, the nanny, or as a romantic object for male Transformers.

REVIEW: IDW Publishing's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Armageddon Game #1

Sayantan Gayen — Thu, 29 Sep 2022 14:16:13 GMT

Since ancient times, the Pantheon of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles universe has played chaotic games of conquest, stringing along mortal lives for their own amusement. But this time, the villainous Rat King fails to get his siblings to participate, which makes him launch his own game as he brings the evil trio of Baxter Stockman, Krang, and Madame Null under his banner. Shredder and the turtle brothers join forces to stop Armageddon from happening while looking for more allies to stand against the sinister God. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Armageddon Game #1 from IDW Publishing, written by Tom Waltz with artwork from Vincenzo Federici, colors by Matt Herms, and letters from Shawn Lee, seems stuck in the middle without much movement.

REVIEW: IDW Publishing's Crashing #1

Sayantan Gayen — Thu, 22 Sep 2022 20:58:43 GMT

Mainstream superhero comic books often show medical emergencies from the perspective of the heroes who either keep their wits or suffer severe setbacks. While the focus remains on the titular characters, the most neglected people in this scenario are the medical personnel experiencing their own ups and downs in a metahuman society. The creative team of writer Matthew Klein, artists Morgan Beem and Triona Farrell, and letterer Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou presents a medical drama based in a world where superpowered individuals have become nothing more than just political liabilities. An IDW Original production, Crashing #1 tries to do something different with the subgenre and tells a gripping account.

Proceeds from the limited 1200-copy exclusive cover will be donated to the nonprofit organization Tunnels To Towers.

REVIEW: IDW Publishing's Earthdivers #1

Sayantan Gayen — Thu, 25 Aug 2022 22:31:30 GMT

Until the fifteenth century, many people believed that the Earth ends in the west and that ships would fall off the edge of the planet. That is until Christopher Columbus sailed toward the west and came upon dry ground, dubbing it "Indios", believing he had reached Asia. But what if that momentous discovery led to the turning point in history and the world took a sharp turn for the worst with America at the eye of the storm? This October, IDW Publishing is teaming up with New York Times bestselling author Stephen Graham Jones for a time-traveling and cutthroat tale about a group of Indigenous survivors who make it their life's mission to right some historic wrongs. With artwork from Davide Gianfelice and Joana Lafuente and lettering by Steve Wands, Earthdivers #1 gets off to a rough start on the high seas.

REVIEW: IDW Publishing's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Armageddon Game—Opening Moves #2

Sayantan Gayen — Wed, 24 Aug 2022 20:44:04 GMT

For eons, the Pantheon of wicked immortals has indulged in a supernatural game of conquest and chaos. While Kitsune's quest to resurrect their dragon father ended in abject failure, her brother, the Rat King, sees this as an opportunity to resume the games and sow new chaos. However, spurned by his siblings and a reformed Oroku Saki, Rat King forms a new team with Baxter Stockman, Krang, and Madame Null. Before the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles event of the year from IDW Publishing gets underway, Shredder needs to learn about the enemy to save the world from the Armageddon Games. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Armageddon Game—Opening Moves #2, written by Tom Waltz with artwork from Fero Pe and Ronda Pattison and lettering by Shawn Lee, is the calm before the storm.

REVIEW: IDW Publishing's Trve Kvlt #1

Sayantan Gayen — Fri, 19 Aug 2022 20:38:14 GMT

Changing jobs can be difficult, especially for those accustomed to their workplace, as anxiety and fear creep in. It is more difficult for those who have spent most of their formative years stuck in a dead-end career path. Marty Tarantella has been industriously flipping burgers at Burger Lord for the past 15 years, when one day, he decides to do something unimaginable: leave his job. From IDW Publishing comes a four-issue miniseries that depicts an original tale about the supernatural troubles of a fast food chain employee. Created by writer Scott Bryan Wilson and artist Liana Kangas with colors from Gab Contreras and letters by D.C. Hopkins, Trve Kvlt #1 bends multiple genres to its will.

Transformers Shippers Got Knockout and Breakdown's Romance To Be Canon

William Pagent — Wed, 17 Aug 2022 11:00:12 GMT

The practice of shipping characters is a common occurrence in any dedicated fandom, especially one as large as the Transformers. However, something that is not common is for a previously non-canonical fan-ship to be embraced by a creative team and made canon. During the Transformers Prime television series, a popular fan-ship arose between the Decepticons Knockout and Breakdown. Their comedic banter and close friendship made them an oddity amongst the villainous Decepticons, inciting the fan belief that they were perhaps more that just friends.

REVIEW: IDW Publishing's Godzilla Rivals: Vs. Battra #1

Sayantan Gayen — Fri, 05 Aug 2022 14:12:18 GMT

On the surface, Godzilla and the other Toho kaiju may seem like gigantic, powerful creatures hell-bent on the destruction of life and property on Earth. But, in reality, they truly represent the man-made calamities and putrid excess seeping into the natural world. Even the various franchise reboots have arrived following real-life disasters, with the movie Shin Gojira being an allegory for the Fukushima incident and the original 1954 movie drawing inspiration from the tragic nuclear bombings on Japan. Both a destroyer and a protector, Godzilla shares similarities with the benevolent Mothra's misanthropic twin, Battra. But the two juggernauts go to loggerheads over trivial matters. Written by Rosie Knight with artwork from Oliver Ono and lettering by Nathan Widick, Godzilla Rivals: Vs. Battra #1 from IDW Publishing revives the classic rivalry.

Hannah Rose — Thu, 28 Jul 2022 20:53:30 GMT

The Armageddon Game is approaching, the Rat King's influence is growing, and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles may be facing their biggest threat and their darkest hour -- without the leadership of their late father, Master Splinter. But when it becomes clear that the Shredder Clan can't deal with this growing threat alone, they are forced to get help and training from the last person they ever expected, the repentant Oroku Saki, aka their arch-nemesis, the Shredder.

Dr. Eggman's Darkest Moments Come From the Sonic Comics

William Pagent — Fri, 17 Jun 2022 11:00:12 GMT

Dr. Ivo Robotnik -also known as 'Dr. Eggman'- has become an iconic character around the world, with his long-standing rivalry with Sonic the Hedgehog being one of the most well-known hero/villain relationships ever established within media.

8 Perks Of Marvel Getting The Transformers Rights Back

Cole Albinder — Fri, 17 Jun 2022 02:15:13 GMT

IDW Publishing will be taking a huge blow at the end of 2022 when their license for the Transformers franchise will expire. Aside from it being reported that writer Robert Kirkman is interested in securing the rights to Transformers (along with G.I. Joe, which IDW is also losing the rights to) for his company Skybound Entertainment, there hasn't been much talk over who will receive the rights. That being said, it could be quite interesting if the Transformers wound up at Marvel Comics.

Star Trek's Barclay Brings Out the Humanity in Data - Review

Hannah Rose — Tue, 14 Dec 2021 17:56:23 GMT

Star Trek: The Next Generation is famous for its great characters. Out of the entire crew, the impassive yet noble android Data showcases one of the most compelling arcs in the sci-fi franchise. Data struggles to balance his seemingly emotionless programming with his desire to understand and emulate humanity. In the dark parallel world of the Mirror Universe, where the crew of the Starship Enterprise is remorseless, ruthless, and sleeveless, Data's struggle is no different. However, in the first issue of the new one-shot series, Star Trek: The Mirror War - Data #1, he comes closer than his Prime Universe counterpart ever has to feel human.

Vader's Castle: Dawn of the Droids Brings Goosebumps Style to Star Wars

Sayantan Gayen — Thu, 30 Sep 2021 17:31:47 GMT

The hostile lava planet of Mustafar houses one of the scariest locations in Star Wars canon, Darth Vader's Castle. This iconic locale is where the Dark Lord rose from after his fall from grace as a Jedi and climatic battle with his former master, Obi-Wan Kenobi. Using the sinister castle as a set-piece, Cavan Scott wrote Star Wars Adventures: Tales from Vader's Castle in the same vein as R.L. Stine and scary campfire stories. Now, Scott looks to finish the Vader's Castle saga with artists Francesco Francavilla and Megan Levens. Published by IDW, and in association with Disney and Lucasfilm, Ghosts of Vader’s Castle is a horror-packed, five-issue miniseries that sends a chill down the spine just in time for Halloween.

Godzilla Rivals: Vs Mothra #1 Comic Review

Sayantan Gayen — Wed, 22 Sep 2021 14:20:17 GMT

Since his debut in 1954, Godzilla's popularity has skyrocketed and created a pantheon of diverse kaiju. Recently, IDW published the debut issue of its Godzilla Rivals series, a quarterly anthology of one-shot stories spearheaded by a different creative team. In each issue of Godzilla Rivals, Godzilla battles a monster from his roster of adversaries. The second issue of the anthology sees the titular character taking on Mothra, an imago moth kaiju, who is often known for her benevolent nature in contrast to Godzilla’s violent temperament. Written by Mary Kenney with pencils from SL Gallant, inks by Maria Keane, and colors by Adam Guzowski, the epic rivalry spills on to this one-shot comic book making a huge splash.

TMNT: Who Is Jennika, the First Female Ninja Turtle?

Brendan Rowe — Sat, 22 May 2021 18:30:46 GMT

When the writing team of Kevin Eastman, Bobby Curnow, and Tom Waltz first envisioned Jennika it's unlikely they foresaw the impact that the former Foot Clan assassin would have on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise. While technically the first, April O'Neil's brief transformation in Archie Comics' Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures Winter 1994 Special doesn't really count (she wasn't even a Turtle for the entire issue) and Venus de Milo only ever appeared on the show Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation, making Jennika the first female Ninja Turtle to regularly appear in any of the major comics continuities.
