May 13, 2026This entire creative team has created an authentic TMNT story that true fans will enjoy. It provides so much detail into their new backstory that even new readers of TMNT will find enjoyment in this run. This issue is the conclusion of the mini-series, leaving issue nineteen wide open for an epilogue story. I say that because issue twenty is going to be the start of a new story! Issue twenty will also be the three-hundredth issue of TMNT! Exciting times for TMNT fans as well as new readers! Read Full Review

Comic Book Revolution - Kevin Lainez
May 12, 2026Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #32 lives up to its promise of being an epic conclusion to the Ujigami Saga. Gene Luen Yang, Freddie E. Williams III, and Fero Pe create a story that has such a controlled chaos tone to its direction that you just can’t help but want to see the ride that it takes you on. The ending creates a lot of questions around what direction this TMNT series will go as we have major game changing developments occur. Where all this lead to will certainly be fun to see.

Took a bit of getting used to, but I finally got to like this creative team. They got me with this issue which manages to unite the brothers and actually the entire family, in a very touching and exciting way. A story with lots of heart at its core. Kudos to the creative team, they had big shoes to fill, but they did an amazing job with this story. TMNT book is at my top of the must read list right now.
