Michelangelo

Pizza-loving, nunchaku-wielding, and perpetually upbeat, this Michelangelo burst onto the Modern Age scene in 2013 courtesy of creators Erik Burnham and Dario Brizuela in IDW's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles New Animated Adventures Free Comic Book Day one-shot. He shares his adventures with the full iconic crew — Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, Splinter, and April O'Neil — and his IDW catalog spans all the way to 2024, touching highlights like the crossover spectacle Batman / Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures and the milestone Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 40th Anniversary Comics Celebration. Whether you're a lifelong shell-head or a newcomer drawn in by that anniversary magic, this fun-loving turtle is a genuinely joyful corner of IDW's TMNT universe worth seeking out.
