Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder (2025)

As a dark new power rises from the shadows of New York, so does a much darker power return to the city’s streets…for revenge. One of the most terrifying villains in the history of comics is back—and more deadly than ever!Returned forever changed by a maddening ordeal beyond imagining, the Shredder is a man out of time, betrayed by all around him, without the Foot Clan, and quite possibly insane. When one of his former Foot prodigies forms their own rival clan with infernal designs on New York, a recovering Shredder must quest deep into the criminal underworld, where enemies both old and new will discover what defiance will bring them at the end of the Shredder’s blades.Dan Watters, the celebrated writer of Batman: Dark Patterns, Nightwing, Lucifer, Six Fingers, and Home Sick Pilots, teams with Michele Bandini (Batman Incorporated, Spider-Man: City at War) to tell the rags-to-revenge story of the ultimate ronin.

The stunning new series continues! Following the trail of a dangerous Foot Clan soldier gone rogue, Shredder descends into New York’s underworld to meet with a secret crimelord who’s achieved mythical status in Shredder’s long absence. But the mysterious boss sees little reason to help the Shredder, who some claim is but a shadow of his former self. A huge mistake…

The Shredder’s quest to find the rogue Foot soldier “the Mourner” takes him to Europe, where she is rumored to have procured some top-secret technology from a very distant place—Dimension X—to use in the mysterious device she’s constructing. For what purpose, only the Mourner knows for sure, but it’s one the Shredder is determined to undermine at all costs.

The Shredder’s quest takes him deep into the mountains of Japan, where he visits the temple of the Foot Mystics, an ancient sect that went dormant centuries ago. Shredder had hoped to leave their strange cult to history, but they may hold the key to defeating his powerful new enemy, the Mourner. The path is treacherous, and the Shredder will have to face more than the elements as he ascends to the secret Foot outpost.

Dark revelations abound as Agent Alda at last discovers the stunning truth of what happened to the Shredder, the nature of his nightmarish visions, the unbelievable place in which he was trapped, and the impossible price he paid to come back to the world. Meanwhile, the Mourner’s forces amass for a final showdown with Shredder that could take New York City down with them.

The Shredder’s worldwide hunt for the Mourner brings him back to where it all began: New York City, where his renegade former pupil has assembled the final components for a device to tear open the mystical gates to our world. What peers through is terrifying and powerful, and it will test even the Shredder’s strength of will—and heart.

The Shredder returns to Japan to recruit the Dog Star Clan, a rogue offshoot of the Foot Clan, to his new cause…but finds the cybernetic ninja clan infected by lethal malware. Now he will trace this virus to its root—and ensure those responsible feel the edge of his blade.

The Dog Star Clan has been compromised. Cybernetic tendrils crawl out of their skin as they turn into grotesque monsters, half human and half machine. It’ll take more than the Shredder’s blades to carve the malware-riddled tech out of their flesh…but that doesn’t mean he isn’t going to try.

Accompanied by his new, semi reluctant, and now non-cybernetic partner, Hoshimi, Shredder ventures into Koji’s hideout to meet the man behind the virus infecting the Dog Star Clan. But is Koji really the one pulling the tendrils? Or is there someone or something even more terrifying hiding within these walls?! Meanwhile, Agent Avon’s back-channel maneuverings begin to bear fruit.

Shredder looks to cement his grip over the Dog Star Clan with extreme prejudice. But the Earth Protection Force is closing in on Shredhead…and this time its agents aren’t looking to take any prisoners.
