TMNT: The Last Ronin II – Re-Evolution #5 is penned by Kevin Eastman and Tom Waltz, with striking visuals from artists Ben Bishop, Isaac Escorza, and Esau Escorza. This issue marks the explosive finale of a story that has kept fans on the edge of their seats.
Here's how IDW describes the final chapter:
*The second installment in the legendary Last Ronin saga comes to its fiery and climactic conclusion! The streets of New York have erupted in an all-out war and no one is safe. Casey, April, Odyn, Yi, Moja, and Uno are all in the crosshairs. Will everyone make it out alive? Their fate is in the hands of legendary writers Kevin Eastman & Tom Waltz as curtains close on this chapter of The Last Ronin!*
In a 2024 interview with IGN, Eastman shared insights into the creative process behind the new Turtle characters:
"One of the things that we did want to do was really update the characters. There's two male, two female Turtle characters, and me and Tom trying to write what teenagers might think and say and do. There's a nice cross-section of different personalities, much like the original Turtles. You want them to always love their family, but not always like each other. They might argue, they might spat, they might have disagreements, but when they need to work together as a team, it's the heart and soul of the family that always keeps them together. And that's always going to be the foundation of anything we do with Turtles."
TMNT: The Last Ronin II – Re-Evolution #5 hits shelves on April 30. Don’t miss your chance to own the full story—you can already preorder the hardcover collection on Amazon.
