Stranger Things X TMNT: NYC Crossover Chaos

Stranger Things X TMNT: NYC Crossover Chaos

By Liam McGuire

July 14th 2023

In a crossover that’s appropriately set in the 1980s, the main kids of Stranger Things will meet the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles X Stranger Things #1 by Cameron Chittock and Fero Pe from IDW Publishing.

The new crossover comic will take place during the events of season three of Stranger Things, with Mike, Eleven, Max, Dustin, Will, and Lucas making a trip to New York City. However, to their surprise, they’ll discover Demogorgons and other monsters are following them. However, as they go deep beneath the New York subway, they’ll run into the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. While the group has initial reservations about the mutants, believing they could be connected to the Upside Down, they eventually realize Michelangelo, Donatello, Rafael, and Leonardo - all of whom are wearing the classic red masks they wore during their time with Mirage Comics - are friends, not foes. Together the pair of heroes are teaming up to stop the Demogorons, all while TMNT villain Baxter Stockman appears to be playing a role in the events at hand.

IDW Publishing is going big with covers of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles X Stranger Things #1, with standard covers featuring characters from both series from Pe (available as a 1:25 virgin variant), Jorge Corona, Jen Woodall, and Adam Gorham. Several incentive covers are available, including a 1:50 cover from Rafael Albuquerque, which will also be purchasable as a 1:100 color variant. Superstar artist Daniel Warren Johnson draws the Turtles taking on a Demogorgon in a fantastic 1:250 variant, while the black and white version of the cover is a 1:500 variant.

Here’s the text synopsis for issue one.

Eleven, Max, Dustin, Mike, Will, and Lucas are looking forward to a nonthreatening, fun-filled trip to New York City. With the gang hundreds of miles from the otherworldly weirdness of their hometown, they’re sure to catch a break this time…or at least that’s what they think until they encounter a threat both bizarre and familiar. To face that threat, they must unite with a fearsome fighting team every bit as bizarre…but green!

Things get even stranger in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles X Stranger Things # 2 as the Turtles and kids will continue to work together as Eleven finds herself in close quarters with the villainous Baxter Stockman. Additionally, both groups of heroes will venture deeper down the subways and make a significant discovery.

Escape from TCRI! With Eleven in the grasp of Baxter Stockman, it's up to Raphael and Donatello to devise a plan to bust her out before her powers can be used by the evil genius. Meanwhile, Leonardo, Michelangelo, Will, Lucas, and Dustin brave the depths of the NYC subway system, getting closer to a portal to the Upside Down that's been unleashing Demogorgons into the tunnels. And what they'll find on the other side is something not even NYC has seen before.
