With Leonardo, Michelangelo, and Raphael away in search of new allies to join the good guys against Rat King's latest deadly gambit, it falls on Donatello and Jennika to lead the fight in Mutant Town against the terrible trio of Mayor Baxter Stockman, General Krang, and Madame Null. But will a dangerous quartet of masked mutant ninja turtles and a mad vivisectionist bent on revenge-not to mention E.P.F. invaders and angry Utrom soldiers!-sabotage their efforts before they can even begin to dig in? This new arc serves as a direct tie-in to TMNT: The Armageddon Game!

Meanwhile, Raphael is forced to swallow his pride-and his hatred-as he hunts down the missing Old Hob in New York City. But even if they find them, will the TMNT's quarries be willing to join the battle against Rat King's latest deadly pawns-Baxter Stockman, General Krang, and Madame Null-who are already taking the fight to Donatello and Jennika in Mutant Town?

Do you suppose that we are not actually getting Groundchuck, Dirtbag, Razhar, and Tokka, but thru are merely holograms? I suppose it's good to know that going in, because the cover suggests something that I wanted to see as a kid.

[CyberCubed]

Reading those summaries I admit I am completely lost and have no idea what is going on. It seems we have to follow 3 different comic series at once to understand the Armaggedon War. This is definitely getting confusing.

In for the original cartoon comic, I hope it's good.

That sounds like the best possible way to reference all the extra villains in one story. Honestly, it woulda been a good way to homage some of the videogames, like fighting Slash in a simulation of prehistoric times and whatnot.

For what it's worth the next few months releases are in this order:

06/29: #130
07/13: TMNT Armageddon Game Opening Moves #1
07/27: #131
08/10: #132
08/24: TMNT Armageddon Game Opening Moves #2
09/07: TMNT Armageddon Game #1
10/12: #133
10/26: TMNT Armageddon Game #2
10/26: TMNT Armageddon Game Alliance #1

#131, #132 and OM1/2 precede the main event but from AG1 onwards it's not clear although the delay in releasing #133 might indicate that they are trying to release everything in at least a rough chronological order.

A mini-series of one-shots.

[AquaParade]

I wonder whatever happened to Santolouco.

[CyberCubed]

So altogether the Armaggedon game is probably going to be 20+ issues.

[Andrew NDB]

So how did the Mutant Town story end? Is there still Mutant Town?

That's a massive fvcking story, that's crazy. Wonder if they're setting up a grand finale story

Yeah I wish he would do some more Turtle stuff too

Yeah, it's mentioned in solicitations at least until like September I think

[CyberCubed]

It never ended. It's just still there.

[hypered1]

Mutant Town is still around, it's even mentioned in the solicitation for #133 above.

[lonewarrior20]

speaking of mutant town, i wonder where the turtles are shacked up with their place burned down? i know aprils with mona, think they're at al's shelter or back at the old church?

I think it's more like the eight character-centric micros we got early on in the IDW run, and then again for the villains during City Fall. So just the one issue per character.

That's basically how Sophie described it when I messaged her about a month ago.

"TMNT ARMAGEDDON GAME ALLIANCE #1"

That's... Interesting... Since AG is officially not the main book (though since that's presumably where the main meat of the story is going to be, it might as well be), that means we're essentially getting a tie-in to a tie-in.

Do you happen to know how many there are? Will it be eight again?

She didn't specify, but then it may not have been decided at that point anyway.
