In conjunction with VIZ Media, IDW Publishing will be publishing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles x Naruto, a four-issue miniseries. The first issue will be out November 13. It’s written by Caleb Goellner (Sonic the Hedgehog) with art by Hendry Prasetya (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers). Primary covers are by Jorge Jiménez.
The Turtles come to help their reporter friend April O’Neil, who’s been meeting with Lady Tsunade, the leader of the Hidden Leaf Village, home of Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, and Kakashi. The sinister Foot Clan think April might know something about scientist Baxter Stockman’s mutation research.
IDW renewed their agreement with Paramount for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise earlier this year (see “IDW, Paramount Renew Contract”). Since then, they’ve announced a number of series and crossovers (see “IDW Expands ‘TMNT’ Publishing Program“), including one with Masters of the Universe coming in September (see “TMNT/MOTU Cross-Over“).Source: ICv2
