For all works published in the U.S. after January 1, 1978, copyright protection lasts for the entirety of the author's lifetime plus an additional 70 years.

Read the page a bit closer:
"For an anonymous work, a pseudonymous work, or a work made for hire, the copyright endures for a term of 95 years from the year of its first publication or a term of 120 years from the year of its creation, whichever expires first."
The life + 70 years rule only applies in cases where the author retains the copyright. The only TMNT stories this applies to are the ones by Rick Veitch.
