So Sophie getting her own series which will probably be continuing the mutant town stuff? While the main series will probably diverge from that (at least a lot more than before) is what I'm getting here.

Is this something that has been known or are we just now learning about this? I don't follow the IDW series very close lately but was thinking about checking back in on it with the relaunch.

Something for Sophie fans and haters both to talk about :lol:

The black and white one is the one I want to read. I hope it's like an anthology with different artist takes on the characters like they did with Batman (Harkey Quinn, Wolverine?)

Wow, I am pumped for all of these! Not so much the usagi series because I'm not into the 87 turtles, but the idea that the universes are bleeding over is really fun!

Mutant Nation sounds like a new version of Universe (companion series).

Surprised, that Nightwatcher is ongoing as well. No sure, IDW can handle 3 ongoings simultaneously.

Black, White & Green has another amazing list of artists attached, fantastic.

I asked Sophie Campbell on twitter about the Mutant Nation comic.

The star in the “A” says it all.

Also, the DNA strands look like barbed wire.

Great to see a Saturday Morning Adventures special dedicated to doing what the FW show very easily could've done, but weirdly didn't: FINALLY getting Usagi back to his dimension.

Lets not forget, Umeko will appear in one of these comics, Ever since Sophie Campbell posted concept art of the IDW version, She's gonna appear in one of those issues, Will it be during the Nightwatcher comic, OR the Mutant Nation comic, She's a character that is forever tied to Raph.

Interesting that Stan Sakai has nothing to do with the Usagi crossover with the original cartoon Turtles. Isn't this the first time Usagi is appearing in a TMNT comic without Stan having anything to do with it? I'm pretty sure it is.

I like that its the 87 version of Usagi, Who originally appeared in the series.

Too many series at once. The're doing their best to confuse new readers.

When is IDW ever not flooding the market. The Karai mini-series is going on at the same time as all of this too.

But yeah IDW always does this. They pump out a whole bunch of issues all at once to try and drive up sales and then they end them all (it's why TMNT Universe ended at issue 25, it was intended to go on much longer), and why the mini's slowed down a lot in recent years.

Here are the 4 different covers for the Saturday Morning Adventures One shot with Usagi.

There was a short story 'The Crossing' done by Peter Laird and published in Usagi Yojimbo v1 #10. While it's technically not a TMNT comic, it's one of the rare instances of Usagi comic done not by Sakai.
