Surfs Up! As IDW Publishing returns to the world of Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles with this new installment in the series Coastal Chaos! The Turtles are at the Jersey Shore on vacation, so you know that means sun, surfing, and shark? But this is not a normal shark encounter as it seems like this shark may be a mutant. Now the heroes in a half shell must get to the bottom of this even if it takes up their whole summer vacation. Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Coastal Chaos #1 hits the LCS shelves on September 9^th, 2026. However, ahead of the Final Order Cutoff date of August 3^rd, IDW Publishing gave us a copy for a SPOILER FREE First Look!

We have hit the final issue of this mini-series by writer Andrew Joustra. Fugitoid must make his final stand and save his newly found friends and the people of New York. Unfortunately, standing in his way is the E.P.F and their nearly completed Menta-Wave antennae. Can Fugitoid & the Turtles save the day?

The Turtles continue to try and help Fugitoid escape the E.P.F while also stopping them from developing their own version of the Menta-Wave Helmet. Unfortunately for our Heroes in a Half Shell, they have already deployed their Helmet, and it controls a monstrous being.

Issue 4 of Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles starts a 3-issue arc written by first time comic book writer Andrew Joustra. Joustra was the Script Supervisor for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, which this series is a direct tie in for. What kind of adventures can this lifelong Turtles fan bring to this exciting comic series?
