SIDEMEN TMNT MUST-READS
If you haven’t heard - we’ve teamed up with the Sidemen for a radical Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles merch collab, and they’ve handpicked their favorite TMNT comics to read on GlobalComix.
Here are their top 5:
5) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Urban Legends
This is it, fans! You demanded it—the entire Image Comics TMNT run (a.k.a. TMNT Volume 3) reproduced for the first time ever in full, four-color glory! Join creators Gary Carlson and Frank Fosco as they take the Heroes in a Half-Shell on some of their most amazing, dangerous, and bizarre adventures ever... culminating in three brand-new issues by Carlson and Fosco to properly close out this long-beloved storyline at last! Long out of print and incomplete, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Volume 3 is one of comics' lost treasures, now uncovered at last and completed by the original creators.
4) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin
Springing from the minds of TMNT co-creators Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird comes an epic like you've never seen before! In a future NYC far different than the one we know today, a lone surviving Turtle goes on a seemingly hopeless mission to obtain justice for his fallen family and friends. This is a perennial TMNT tale that can't be missed!
3) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Vs. Street Fighter
When a prestigious martial arts tournament invites fighters to travel to Atlantic City and test their skills, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles jump at the chance to compete. But a big stage means big competition, and the world famous STREET FIGHTERS have shown up in force to prove the mettle of their PSYCHO POWERED fighting forms. As if that's not enough of a challenge, there are rumors of competitors disappearing and the identity of the contest's benefactors is shrouded in mystery.
2) Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
The TMNT get an all-new look, new weapons, and awesome new powers in these comics based on the Nickelodeon animated series!
1) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Color Classics
Relive the exciting origins of TMNT, this time in all-new full-color comics! This is where world-wide Turtle mania started! Detailing the entire origin of the Turtles and their first fateful encounter with the Foot Clan and the Shredder! This is your chance to get in on the ground floor of the entire Mirage Studios experience, with the most successful independent comic of all time. Don't miss it!
