Just announced officially by Forbes, we're getting a 40th anniversary one-shot spanning multiple creators and eras, similar to the 30th anniversary special IDW did a decade ago (Man, time flies). Here's the most salient information regarding the one-shot:

Now the company is celebrating the fortieth anniversary of the Turtles with a series of special events, including a 72 page one-shot collection slated for stores July 10, priced at $11.99. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: 40th Anniversary Comics Celebration brings together creators spanning the entire gamut of the Turtles’ history, featuring fan-favorite creators revisiting the storylines associated with them over the years.

According to IDW, this special one-shot issue will feature new stories and pinup art from Jim Lawson, Ciro Nieli, Tristan Jones, Paul Harmon, Andy Suriano, Ronda Pattison, Pablo Tunica, Sophie Campbell, Tom Waltz, Michael Dialynas, Lloyd Goldfine, Khary Randolph, Emilio Lopez, Dan Duncan, Erik Burnham, Sarah Myer, Luis Antonio Delgado, Chris Allan, Steve Lavigne, Freddie E. Williams II ,and more.

This is a really solid lineup, but I'm especially excited to see Tristan Jones and Paul Harmon team up again. Their issues were easily the highlight of Tales Vol 2 and honestly, are my favorite TMNT comics outside of the original Eastman/Laird run. It remains to be seen if they'll be able to wrap up their ongoing narrative within the confines of this one-shot, but I'm thrilled just to see their work again. Maybe we can get a collection of their work in the future?
