- Hun will be debuting in issue #25 and will also get his own micro series discussing Purple Dragons’ origin.

- First look at mutated Bebop and Rockstedy!
- Bebop and Rockstedy will be having fun and enjoying their work for the Foot clan.
- Shredder will be the last in the villian micro series.
- Snakeweed will be returning in the second issue of the TMNT: New Animated Adventures, Kranng will be introduced in the third issue, with The Foot Clan appearing in issue #4.
- After the City Fall story line that begins with issue #29 there will be a new mutant revealed.
- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is planned out until issue 50!

I SO need to get caught up on this series.
Have they had Cudley the Cowlick yet? I remember when he last appeared in a Mirage crossover with TMNT and Wild West Cowboys of Moo Mesa, it was said he wasn’t a Mirage version of the character but the same one from the Archie comics TMNT timeline, and I’m curious if they will have any potential cross-timeline crossovers like that again.
It’d be an interesting way to touch on a few characters of various cartoons and comics without having to re-make the character entirely.
I’m all for Cudley the Cowlick and the Mighty Mutanimals showing up in the series!! I know the Mutanimals died in the Archie-verse, but the IDW-verse is technically a different universe… And they could finally add Ninjara to the team… Would love to see the Mutanimals on the new cartoon as well…
