Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The City That Never Dies

The veil between the living and the dead is torn. The undead look to claim the Land of the Living, and only the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles can stop them!

Following Jason Aaron and Juan Ferreyra’s acclaimed run, Gene Luen Yang (American Born Chinese, Superman Smashes the Klan) and Fero Pe (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles x Godzilla, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles x Stranger Things) take the helm!

Clan Hamato is more complete than ever, now that Master Splinter and the Turtles’ mother, Tang Shen, have returned from the dead. But this family reunion comes at a cost! The veil between the living and the dead has been torn, and the villainous General Eight Thunders, second in command overseeing the Land of the Dead, has set his sights on conquest. As the undead begin pouring into the Land of the Living, the Turtles must discover how to repair the veil and defeat the murderous hordes before the world becomes an undead wasteland!
