Last week, IDW Publishing announced Jason Aaron would be taking on the writing duties when the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles relauches in July 2024. Now we know who will be providing the art.
Four artists will kick off the first arc as Joelle Jones, Rafael Albuquerque, Cliff Chiang, and Chris Burnham bring their unique art style to the turtles-in-a-half-shell, with Albuquerque providing all of the art for the second story arc.
“I almost couldn’t believe it when these folks started saying yes. It’s such a dream team of modern artists, folks responsible for some of my favorite comics of this century,” said Editor-in-Chief Jamie S. Rich in a press release. “All four of them were so enthusiastic to draw characters they love for the first time. It was cool to hear why they loved each of the individual Turtles. Like Chris talked about the Donnie issue with the Jack Kirby homage, and Joëlle mentioned how she has always liked hotheads and fighters. It’s comic book kismet!”
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Alpha #1 arrives in June 2024, with a 10-page prelude story, while Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1 arrives in July 2024.
