After 24 years, Venus returns! No, not the planet, it is always there (just look up), but rather Venus from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Her name is simply…Venus. Many of you know that name. Some of you may not. But very soon, everyone will be talking about her once they read Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #127, written by Sophie Campbell and illustrated by Pablo Tunica.
In the current storyline, the Turtles have their hands full navigating the factions of Mutant Town, a quarantined neighborhood in Manhattan’s East Side populated entirely of victims of a mutagen bomb detonation. Amid gang tension from the territorial Punk Frogs and drama unfolding between the extradimensional Utroms and Triceratons, the Turtles delve into the laboratory of the mysterious Dr. Barlow… And what they discover will change the course of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles forever.
Venus is an interesting character, because she first debuted in the live-action movie, before getting the comic book treatment. And before you get too jumpy in your seat, Jennika, who many thought was the comic book version of Venus, is definitely a different character. Before too long, we’ll get four female heroes in the half-shell and be able to have a new Ninja Turtle series (or so we hope).
“I’d been trying to make a Venus comeback happen for a while, and I almost can’t believe it’s finally happening!” said Campbell in a press release from IDW Publishing.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #127 arrives on March 16, 2022. And as a plus, if you pick up the Free Comic Book Day TMNT book, Venus will appear there as well.
