IT’S A DEADITE PARTY! Reggie’s lake house soirée was supposed to be the social event of the season, but now it may prove to be the town of Riverdale’s swan song! Following Archie Andrews’s unwitting awakening of the Army of Darkness, chaos — in the form of an undead horde — has descended upon the shore. With slavering evil literally at their doorstep, the gang has only one hope of making it out alive — the Savior of S-Mart, one Ashley J. Williams. Unluckily for them, the Chosen One’s car currently has four flat tires! Amateur mechanics ERIK BURNHAM and BILL GALVAN pop the hood and supercharge the adventure in Archie X Army of Darkness #2 — featuring nitrous-boosted covers from GALVAN, FRANCESCO FRANCAVILLA, LAURA BRAGA, CRAIG CERMAK, and STUART SAYGER!

The adventures of the TMNT continue as they battle Tempestra, Krang, Hob, and all sorts of interdimensional monsters in this series inspired by the classic animated TV show! First to the bat is Tempestra, who has figured out how to upgrade her powers and will attack the most highly anticipated baseball game in New York City unless her demands are met! Next, Dirk Savage, now a believer in the goodness of mutants, returns to recruit the Ninja Turtles for a secret mission…but only gets, um, Donatello. Surely this spy mission won’t totally fall off the rails! After the heist (and all the other chaos), Hob is tired of the Turtles and has decided that he needs the rest of the Pantheon to deal with them after all—revealing the functional dimensional portal! However, it’s not perfect, opening a space-time wobble with an unintended effect: It gifts Krang with a new battlesuit, allowing him easy access to join the group. Where are the Turtles to stop this? Dealing with all of the monsters that emerged! It’s up to Shredder to remember that the Turtles have a portable dimensional portal of their own…they’ll just need to steal it back. Only one person can help them in all of this chaos—the newly reformed Lotus Blossom. Will the Turtles and Casey Jones be able to take on such foes as Tempestra, Hob, Razhar, Krang, Tokka, and the Dark Turtles? You’ll just have to read to find out! Collects issues #22–26 of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Saturday Morning Adventures series.

Seymour Gutz was a hapless fella who got caught up in the weird world of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and wound up transformed into the Mutagen Man for his trouble! Though he was cured and returned to human form, sometimes the past comes back around to haunt you! That’s our way of saying his powers return…with a twist. Instead of being able to transform himself, Seymour has randomly developed the power to mutate others…and that’s a power Shredder wants for his own! The Mutagen Man is back, but can the Turtles find him before their arch-enemy does? There’s only one way to find out—grab yourself a copy of Saturday Morning Adventures #30!

It’s the Rat Queen’s turn to take on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on behalf of the Pantheon, and her perfidious plan to do harm to the Heroes in a Half-Shell involves collaborating with the craven criminal called the Rat King!

Follow Raphael on a lone adventure that picks up after issue #150! Plus, stories featuring Mutant Island, Casey Jones, Pepperoni, and the Punk Frogs! In the prelude story “Monster Island,” Old Hob has established a settlement on Mutant Island, but Colonel Wesley Knight is still suspicious and has been monitoring him. Wanting a closer look, Knight finds the bodies of several mutants strung up in spiderwebs on the island! After the events of “The Armageddon Game,” the Turtles have found themselves at a crossroads, attempting to keep their family united while individually feeling the need to break away and explore life in a world that knows about mutants. To clear his head, Raphael jumps on his motorcycle and heads west on a solo road trip with the wind at his back and no destination in mind…until a dormant enemy out for revenge on the Turtles engineers a dangerous detour to Area 51. When Raphael is held hostage with some unexpected old friends, his soul-searching quest mutates into a crisis as he brawls in the desert to keep the E.P.F.’s cache of coveted technology out of the wrong hands. Will Raphael find his new purpose away from his brothers…or just more trouble than he can handle alone in “Ambush at Area 51!” by writer Tom Waltz and artist Vincenzo Federici? Then, in “Casey Jones, Agent of the Foot Clan” by writer Erik Burnham and artist Mateus Santolouco, after the events of The Untold Destiny of the Foot Clan, can Casey tolerate Karai’s descent into ruthlessness, or will he turn his back on the Foot?

u200bu200bThe ninja who goes by the name of Lotus Blossom has been blackmailed into stealing the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ portable interdimensional portal for Krang and his evil cohorts, which would allow them to free not just Shredder but also the intergalactic criminal syndicate called the Pantheon from their dimensional prisons! Don’t worry, kids–—the Turtles have a plan to keep the portal from benefiting the bad guys, but first they’ll have to deal with the rampaging mutants Tokka and Rahzar!

In a dystopian future where climate disaster has devastated civilization, a group of Indigenous rebels discover a portal to the past. Determined to rewrite history, they send a reluctant linguist on a one-way mission to kill Christopher Columbus. What unfolds is a genre-blending saga of time travel, survival, and Indigenous resistance that confronts colonial violence while imagining alternate futures across eras from 1492 to 1776.

With their latest attempt to repair the dimensional portal resulting in catastrophic failure, Krang and Hob decide the best way to achieve their ends—freeing both Shredder and the Pantheon—is to steal the portable dimensional window from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! But the Turtles’ lair is both hidden and well defended, two things that will keep our villainous crew from acquiring the portal in a quick and easy fashion. There’s only one solution: Hire another ninja to steal the device for them! Shredder has kept tabs on a formidable ninja who the Turtles have trusted in the past—but can the bad guys talk her into joining their cause? (That’s rhetorical. If they didn’t convince her to help, we wouldn’t have a story!) Join us for the return of Lotus Blossom as the Saturday Morning Adventures continue!

In order to bring the Pantheon to Earth and kick off his plans for conquest, Old Hob has been working with Krang to repair a damaged interdimensional portal. Instead of opening the gateway to the dimension that the Pantheon is stranded in, their efforts cause a wibble wobble in the space-time continuum, something that not only returns to Krang one of the evil Utroms’ most prized possessions, but also delivers three evil Nega-Turtles to New York City. (I guess we all know who the Heroes in a Half Shell will be facing off against this month!)

u200bu200bAfter a mild mishap with one of Donatello’s inventions, Michelangelo starts to wonder if his laid-back attitude isn’t holding his brothers back. While skateboarding in the sewers to clear his head, Mikey meets a genie who can show him exactly what the world would be like without him…and decides to do so. If dark Turtles, an angry Hamato Yoshi, and a forbidden pizza weren’t enough, Krang and Old Hob form an alliance to repair the interdimensional portal! All that, plus Michelangelo sees his true worth in an all-new Saturday Morning Adventure that could only be called “Genie in a Bauble, Baby”!

The New York Museum of Science and History had itself a curious mystery! Somehow, each night, an exhibit was broken, and it went on too long to be a practical joke.

Now, teamed up with the friendly mutant mummy Bakari, our heroes must stop Ptah from conquering the city. Plus, Shredder tries to escape an imprisonment of his own, all in the latest issue of TMNT: Saturday Morning Adventures!

Leonardo leads, Donatello does machines, Raphael is cool but rude, Michelangelo is a party dude! The animated Turtles of the original cartoon are back!
