SDCC 2026: IDW Unveils 2027 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Plans with Matthew Rosenberg and Juann Cabal Taking Over plus The Last Ronin’s Finale
A new wave of Turtle fandom is coming to comic shops in 2027. When the best-selling Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT) flagship series reaches issue #25 in 2027, current writer Gene Luen Yang will pass the bo staff to award-winning writer Matthew Rosenberg and amazing artist Juann Cabal. While the acclaimed writer is no stranger to playing in Marvel and DC’s sandbox, it’s the indie space where he has truly thrived and made an unforgettable impact on the comic industry. Rosenberg, a lifelong resident of the Turtles’ very own New York City, is bringing this same energy to the Heroes in a Half-Shell. Prepare for a thrilling story as the greatest roster of villains, both new and old, have assembled to hunt down the Turtles over the course of a single night.
The best-selling saga The Last Ronin returns to comic shops next summer for its epic finale and will leave fans feeling shellshocked. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin III – Return for New York reunites the legendary original creative team – Kevin Eastman, Tom Waltz, Isaac & Esau Escorza, Ben Bishop, Luis Antonio Delgado, and Shawn Lee – for the can’t-miss conclusion of their grand plans for the Roninverse and its new heroes Casey Marie Jones, Odyn, Moja, Uno, and Yi.
More big reveals will leap out of the shadows later this year about IDW’s exciting plans for Turtles comics in 2027. In the meantime, the massive milestone issue Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #300 – which kicks off the first part of the blockbuster story ‘The City That Never Dies’ – and the action-packed oversized one-shot TMNT: The Last Ronin – Training Day are available now at comic shops.
