Ivan Steranko

A creature of the Modern Age, Ivan Steranko stepped onto the scene in 2016 courtesy of writer Matthew K. Manning and artist Jon Sommariva, making his debut in IDW's gloriously offbeat crossover Batman / Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures. With only four catalog appearances across that 2016–2017 run, he's a rare find — the kind of deep-cut character who shares pages with an extraordinary crowd, rubbing shoulders with Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo, Rocksteady, and none other than The Joker himself. If you love the wild, anything-goes energy of comics that throw Batman's Gotham and the Turtles' world into the same blender, Ivan Steranko is exactly the sort of discovery that makes digging through a crossover series so rewarding.
