IDW Publishing and Viz Media are collaborating on a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles x Naruto collaboration, bringing two ninja franchises together for a crossover comic.
Harry Prasetya and Raúl Angulo will draw the comic, with Caleb Goellner as head writer and Ed Dukeshire in charge of lettering. The comic will ship its first issue on November 13.
Here’s a full look at cover art for the new collab comic:
Here’s IDW’s description of the new comic, via IGN:
It’s the coolest ninja matchup you could have ever dreamed of, had you dared! The Heroes in a Half-Shell meet the host of the Nine-Tailed Fox in the crossover everyone will be talking about.
When teenage reporter April O’Neil has a clandestine meeting with Tsunade, the leader of the Hidden Leaf Village, it garners the attention of Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, and Kakashi. They aren’t the only ones who are wondering what the two women were discussing, though. The sinister Foot Clan have their own interest in April’s visit, as they think she might hold the valuable information on mutation research being conducted by the scientist Baxter Stockman. With April caught between the forces of the Hidden Leaf Village and the Foot Clan, it can’t be long before the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles show up to lend her a hand!
This is not the previous times the ninjas have collaborated: Box Lunch’s food chain had both Naruto and the Ninja Turtles getting featured for merchandise.
