Donatello

The tech-minded turtle with the bo staff, Donatello made his Dreamwave Productions debut in 2003's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #2, brought to life by the creative team of Peter David and LeSean at the dawn of the Modern Age. Across a publishing span that stretches all the way to 2024 — including a spot in the milestone Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 40th Anniversary Comics Celebration — this version of Donatello keeps legendary company, sharing pages with his brothers Leonardo, Raphael, and Michelangelo, as well as the wise Splinter. A catalog presence that bridges an early-2000s Dreamwave chapter to a landmark anniversary celebration makes him a fascinating thread in the rich, sprawling tapestry of TMNT comics history.
