Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Vol. 5 #131C (IDW Publishing 2022)

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Vol. 5 #131C delivers a pivotal chapter in IDW Publishing’s acclaimed series, presented as a limited 1-for-10 retailer incentive variant featuring exclusive cover and interior presentation.

Storyline & Creative Details

This 28-page, full-color issue continues directly from the events of TMNT: The Armageddon Game—Opening Moves, under the continued writing direction of Sophie Campbell and interior illustrations from Pablo Tunica. The narrative centers on Northampton, where Oroku Saki makes his full reveal to the turtles and formally requests an uneasy alliance. Their target is the Rat King, a newly unleashed trickster god from the Pantheon threatening the city. As the turtles weigh whether to trust the man who once executed them across multiple timelines, the issue examines whether genuine redemption is possible before the larger Armageddon event converges.
