‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin III – Return for New York’ will arrive next summer

The original creative team returns for the final chapter set in the Turtle’s future. Meanwhile, the current TMNT title gets a new creative team next year.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin III — Return for New York, the third and final chapter in Kevin Eastman and Tom Waltz’s Roninverse trilogy, will arrive next summer. Entertainment Weekly revealed the project and its cover today.

“When [co-creator] Kevin Eastman and I sat down to write the original TMNT: The Last Ronin, we had high hopes readers would love the story just as much as we loved telling it,” Waltz told EW. “Little did we know, that love would be exponentially returned to us and our amazing art teams…From that first volume, throughout all the subsequent prequels/sequels that have followed in what we now fondly call the Roninverse. And, here we are, capping off the main trilogy with TMNT: The Last Ronin III — Return for New York…and we couldn’t be happier!”

The original creative team of Eastman, Waltz, Isaac and Esau Escorza, Luis Antonio Delgado and Ben Bishop will return for this final chapter.

IDW announces a ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin’ sequel

Kevin Eastman, Tom Waltz, Ben Bishop and company will continue the story in ‘Re-Evolution.’

Casey Marie Jones and the next generation of Ninja Turtles will return for another round of turtle power in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin II – Re-Evolution.

The next chapter is co-written by TMNT co-creator Eastman and Tom Waltz, illustrated by Ben Bishop, Esau Escorza and Isaac Escorza, colored by Luis Antonio Delgado and lettered by Shawn Lee.

“The real heart and soul for me with dusting off and bringing The Last Ronin to life three years ago was my belief that ‘Every beginning must have an end,’” said Eastman. “With all the respect in the world for my co-creator Peter Laird, I wanted to bring full circle to what we started in 1984 and set out to do in 1987. With The Last Ronin, with my friend Tom Waltz and an incredible gathering of brilliant artisans, we accomplished that 33 years later. A very fitting end indeed.”
