The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise has rarely been as expansive or varied as it is in 2026, especially in the world of comics. While the main TMNT series continues to evolve in new and exciting ways, there’s also a host of other adventures happening elsewhere in the universe. ComicBook had the chance to speak to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Editor Jake Thomas all about what’s happening in every corner of the franchise, and Thomas was kind enough to tease events and developments for The Last Ronin, TMNT x Godzilla, solo series like Shredder and Casey Jones (and maybe even April O’Neal), Battle Nexus, and more.
I think the Last Ronin series is in danger I’d being stretched too thin but I’m sure they know it will make money regardless. First series and prequel series were excellent and sequel series was also pretty good but didn’t grab me as much. It will be interesting what the hook is for the next Last Ronin series.
I liked the two volumes they released after the original. I think it can be an interesting series to continue reading, as long as they keep the quality. I like that it’s its own pocket universe with an alternate story too, so it doesn’t influence or affect the main stuff.
