18 month🥃s after launching to a huge profile in October 2020, the long-awaited fifth and final issue of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin is finally days away from release, with IDW Publishing confirming .
And if you'd like a reminder of what the series is all about, here's a five-page fully-lettered 🌟preview of the issue that Newsarama readers get to enjoy first.
As a reminder, The Last Ronin tells the story of the last l🌠iving member of the four original Turtles, M🎉ichelangelo, as he takes up his brothers' weapons for a revenge-fueled quest against the Foot Clan, with some familiar faces such as April O'Neil in tow.
"From my 𒁃original partner on this journey, the brilliant Peter Laird, to the unparalleled skills of Tom Waltz, the incredibly gifted Esau and Isaac Escorza, Ben Bishop, and Luis Antonio Delgado, as well as the rock-solid IDW backbone and Nickelode𝓰on commitment to make sure we had the time to get it right, we've given it our best shot, and I could not be prouder of everyone involved," he concludes.
IDW Publishing previously named TMNT: The Last Ronin as their highest selling comic book release ever, with "hundreds of thousands" of copies sold. Newsarama can attest reader interes꧅t was very high in the months surrounding the debut of the series.
TMNT: The Last Ronin still has one more issue to go before it qualifies for consideration for the best Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles stories of all time.
