    Fanlight Zone - Richard Coryell

    Unfortunately, the web series of the same name was canceled. However, if this issue is any indication the comic book story will be able to carry the legacy of this TMNT Universe going forward and approaching the sequel to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem which is slated for a 2027 release with Joustra returning as the script supervisor for that project as well. Grab a copy of this book when you are at the shop this week and enjoy! Read Full Review

    Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #4 is a lively, smartly paced kickoff that brings one of the franchise’s coolest sci-fi characters into this newer continuity with style. It’s got energy, charm, tension, and just enough emotional circuitry under the hood to keep it from being all flash. If you rock with the Turtles, this issue is a good time. Read Full Review

    AIPT - David Brooke

    Mar 17, 2026

    Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #4 shifts gears by focusing heavily on Fugitoid’s origin, offering fans a deeper look at the beloved sci-fi character. Joustra leans into corruption and tragic science fiction accidents to build a sympathetic backstory, while Joyce’s art keeps the book visually aligned with the energetic style of Mutant Mayhem. The framing device gives the story structure but also creates distance from the present-day plot, leaving the Ninja Turtles with less to do. Even so, the issue plants the seeds for a bigger team-up ahead and delivers enough personality and inventive visuals to make Fugitoid’s introduction worthwhile. Read Full Review
