Right after the conclusion of the epic Krang War storyline, TMNT fans will be treated to a special one shot story in Issue 21. the story is will be fully drawn by TMNT co-creator Kevin Eastman. Check out what kevin had to say about the issue, as well as some beautiful preview pages, thanks to a CBR interview.
From interview:
CBR: You said the Turtles have been taking their status as ninja experts for granted in the series so far. Does that mean the Turtles will be taken down a peg in issue #21?
Kevin: That was essentially what we wanted to do. What I suggested is that they have a lot of skill but they’re mutants so we assume their abilities are above those of normal humans, but that requires you to assume a lot.
When Tom designed the new IDW “Turtles” universe, which has taken parts from the original “Turtles” black and white series, parts of the animated series and bits and pieces of the movies rolled in to one to make this new universe, the new origin story for the Turtles was that they were boys who were killed by the original Shredder back in feudal Japan. They were still very, very young, and whether they’re mutant turtles or young boys, they still haven’t completed their journey.
