IDW Lines Up a Massive 2027 for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles With New Creators and The Last Ronin Finale
AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
IDW Publishing announced a major shift for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles at Comic-Con, with Matthew Rosenberg and Juann Cabal taking over the main series in 2027 while The Last Ronin trilogy prepares for its final volume.
IDW Publishing is setting the stage for a major transition in its Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic line, according to announcements made at Comic-Con. Current writer Gene Luen Yang will officially wrap up his run with issue #24. That handover paves the way for writer Matthew Rosenberg and artist Juann Cabal to take over the main series starting with issue #25. For readers who track creative shifts and long-term arcs across print and digital comic platforms, this marks a clear dividing line for the ongoing shell-headed saga.
Alongside the main series transition, IDW confirmed a major milestone for one of the publisher's most successful modern spinoffs. The third and final volume of The Last Ronin trilogy is locked in for a 2027 release, bringing back the original creative team to conclude the dystopian story. This gritty futuristic timeline has resonated heavily with fans, driving strong engagement across community spaces and digital storefronts since its inception.
IGN caught up with both Yang and Rosenberg at the convention to discuss the transition, touching on their mutual appreciation for the franchise and how the torch is being passed between writers. As transmedia properties increasingly blend comics, games, and streaming adaptations into a unified ecosystem, keeping a flagship book sharp and culturally relevant matters more than ever.
