TMNT: The Last Ronin II - Re-Evolution #5 is crafted by the creative team of Kevin Eastman and Tom Waltz, with stunning artwork by Ben Bishop, Isaac Escorza, and Esau Escorza.
Here's what IDW has to say about this pivotal issue:
The second installment in the legendary Last Ronin saga reaches its fiery and climactic conclusion! The streets of New York have erupted into an all-out war, leaving no one safe. Casey, April, Odyn, Yi, Moja, and Uno are all in the crosshairs. Will everyone make it out alive? Their fate lies in the hands of the legendary writers Kevin Eastman & Tom Waltz as the curtains close on this chapter of The Last Ronin!
In a 2024 interview with IGN, Kevin Eastman shared insights into the evolution of the characters: "One of the things that we did want to do was really update the characters. There's two male, two female Turtle characters, and me and Tom trying to write what teenagers might think and say and do. There's a nice cross section of different personalities, much like the original Turtles. You want to have them always love their family, but not always like them. And so they might argue. They might spat. They might have disagreements, but when they need to work together as a team, it's the heart and soul of the family that always keeps them together. And that's always going to be the foundation of anything we do with Turtles."
Mark your calendars for April 30, when TMNT: The Last Ronin II - Re-Evolution #5 hits the shelves. You can also pre-order the hardcover collection of The Last Ronin II on Amazon.
