It’s the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles event of 2020!
Springing from the minds of TMNT co-creators Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird comes an epic like you’ve never seen before! In a future NYC far different than the one we know today, a lone surviving Turtle goes on a seemingly hopeless mission to obtain justice for his fallen family and friends. Kinetic layouts from Eastman, inks from Esau and Isaac Escorza and Ben Bishop and a thrilling script full of surprises from longtime TMNT scribe Tom Waltz all combine to make this one of the most memorable TMNT stories you will ever read!
The Last Ronin spun-off into a new series The Lost Years and has a large future in the TMNT universe. Issue 5 could also have made this list as it cameos the four new turtles.
