Headed to Japan next week! Very excited to hunt for my other favorite mutant reptile (Godzilla), but it'll be fun to see if I find any TMNT while I'm there, too!

I'm devastated by this news. Obviously I'm upset for everyone who works there. I spent so much time at the Sunset Gower location.

But how this might affect the Mutant Mayhem sequel has be absolutely freaking out.

Totally thrilled with this incredible commissioned piece by @othellovonrowan.bsky.social! Inspired by the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade scene from my Mutant Mayhem fic! I'm completely obsessed with the composition, lighting and texture in this! Thank you again for such an amazing piece!!!

I'm dyslexic and a really slow reader, so comics take me forever. Been working on the IDW TMNT series on and off since 2011 when I picked up the first issue.

Finally got to the Leonardo macro series, and man...what a beautiful and poignant issue. I love these turtles so much.

Other references to the creators TMNT Laird and Eastman include this neon sign and the name high school. Kevin Eastman also voices the man who helps Splinter.

Okay, that's it for now!

You might think this too obvious, but not everyone notices everything!

Mirage was the name of the comic book studio founded in 1983 by TMNT creators Peter Laird & Kevin Eastman. The name was tongue-in-cheek; they worked out of Laird’s living room and there was no formal studio, so it was a "mirage"

You can see the ridges on Mondo Gecko’s fingertips here through the glass. These are what help real geckos stick to surfaces.

There's an asexual pride flag on the school locker in the lower righthand corner here. Has an ace price flag appeared in a theatrically released animated movie before this? Does anyone have examples, or is this the first time?

One of the names Stockman considered for Ray Fillet was “Ray Xu”. Ray Xu is one of the film’s storyboard artists.

Splinter is reading Pet Sematary by Stephen King.

The Japanese calligraphy print on the wall above Leo’s bed says “ninja”.

A U-haul truck with a triceratops appears several times throughout the film. An alien race called Triceratons who look like bipedal triceratops are recurring antagonists in previous iterations of TMNT

(They also use this truck a LOT. I quit taking screencaps of it after shot #6)

April’s helmet has a sticker that says “GOOD TROUBLE”. This is part of a famous phrase often used by American politician and civil rights activist John Lewis, who died in 2020. A documentary about his life is titled “John Lewis: Good Trouble.”
