Fans of no-holds-barred action, hard-edged fight choreography, and unspeakably brutal finishing moves rejoice this week as IDW Publishing has announced an earth-shattering combat event between two of the most iconic teams in history. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Vs. Street Fighter pits the Heroes in a Half Shell against the rogue fighters of Capcom’s legendary martial arts series in a competitive sparring tournament that explodes into a knockdown, drag-out brawl through the mean streets of Atlantic City. Written by Paul Allor with art by Ariel Medel and colors by Sarah Myer, the landmark five-issue miniseries will debut in May 2023.
Arriving in Atlantic City to compete in a prestigious fighting tournament, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles quickly run afoul of the world-famous Street Fighter crew…and their legendary Psycho Powered fighting forms! Both eager to show off their moves and prove their mettle in combat, the two teams instantly clash, sparking a crackling rivalry that can only be resolved with fists and steel (and maybe a Hurricane Kick or two). With tensions already maxed, the pressure mounts even further as both teams find themselves embroiled in a wave of mysterious disappearances plaguing the city. Could the tournament’s mysterious benefactor be to blame?
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Vs. Street Fighter #1 will be available starting in May 2023, with multiple cover variants for retailers and fans to enjoy, including Cover A by series artist Ariel Medel, Cover B by beloved TMNT co-creator Kevin Eastman, and retailer incentive editions by Vincenzo Federici.
