IDW Presents Bad Guys for TMNT: Villains Micro-Series

The Ninja Turtles have had many a dealing with Krang in the past. For the longest time, Shredder was the thorn in their side, but eventually Krang was introduced and the scheming brain proved to be equally as much as of a pain. Now, Krang is going to be a pain in the comic books, as IDW has announced his inclusion in the upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Villains Micro-series #1: Krang, written by Joshua Williamson and illustrated by Mike Henderson (cover by Tyler Walpole.

The issue explores the tales of Dimension X's fearsome ruler. The adventure continues with the tales of Baxter Stockman by Erik Burnham and Andy Kuhn, Old Hob by Jason Ciaramella and Dave Wachter and Alopex by Bryan Lynch and Ross Campbell. The micro-series is set to keep fans happy by revisiting some old favorites.

"TMNT has one of the finest rogues' galleries in all of comics," said TMNT Editor Bobby Curnow. "They're deadly, charismatic, and often just plain weird! In short, they're great fun to read and see in action on the comic book page. I'm extremely excited to see how our creative teams dig into these twisted psyches. AND they'll set up important story points for our ongoing book!"

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Villains Micro-series #1: Krang hits stores April 17 with the Diamond Code FEB130345. Full press release below.
