Michelangelo

Bursting onto the scene in 2018 with the launch of IDW's Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles universe, this iteration of Michelangelo is a Modern Age take on one of comics' most beloved reptilian icons, brought to life by the creative team of Dale Malinowski, Andy Suriano, and Ida Hem. Across a compact but spirited run through the mid-2020s, he shares his pages with Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, and Splinter — the legendary ensemble that has defined the TMNT world for generations. With appearances spread across the Rise of the TMNT promo materials, Sound Off!, and the main series, this version of Mikey represents a fresh, modern lens on a character fans have cherished for decades. If you're tracing the full family tree of everyone's favorite party dude through comics history, this IDW chapter is a colorful and worthwhile stop.
