Naruto TMNT Crossover: Issue #1 Variant Cover Out

Cowabunga, Dattebayo! Naruto TMNT Crossover is gonna be Epic. Hold onto your nunchucks and headbands, folks! The worlds of sewers and shinobi are colliding in a crossover that’ll make your inner teenager flip out. IDW Publishing and Viz Media (to ANN) are serving up a pizza with a side of ramen in their new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles x Naruto comic series (Naruto TMNT Crossover).

Naruto TMNT Crossover Cover

Kim Jacinto’s variant cover for Issue #1 is hotter than Leonardo’s katana after slicing through a pizza. It’s a 1:50 variant, meaning it’s rarer than Michelangelo actually finishing his training, simply put for every 50 copies ordered by a retailer they will get one cover. Mark your calendars for November 13, when this beauty hits the shelves.

Dream Team of Naruto TMNT Crossover

• Writer: Caleb Goellner (Sonic the Hedgehog)
• Artist: Hendry Prasetya (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers)
• Colorist: Raúl Angulo
• Letterer: Ed Dukeshire

Goellner’s stoked, saying they’re cooking up “pure fun with the power of friendship.” Sounds like a recipe for success, if you ask us.

What’s The Deal With This Crossover?

Picture this: April O’Neil’s got a secret rendezvous with Tsunade (scandalous!), catching the eye of Team 7 and the Foot Clan. Throw in some mutagen shenanigans courtesy of Baxter Stockman, and you’ve got yourself a ninja party that’ll make your head spin faster than Naruto’s Rasengan.

But Wait, There’s More to Naruto TMNT Crossover

This isn’t the first rodeo for these franchises. They’ve already teamed up for merch at Box Lunch. (Turtle-print ninja headbands, anyone?)

So, whether you’re more “Cowabunga!” or “Believe it!”, this crossover is set to be more explosive than a paper bomb in Donatello’s lab. Get ready to witness history, or at least some seriously cool ninja moves.
