Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2024) #16

It’s Ujigami vs. Casey Jones, with Raphael caught in the middle. The Ujigami vows to protect the Turtles from their greatest enemies, so why is he attacking Casey? Meanwhile, Shinigami goes behind Karai’s back to make a power play of her own, recruiting a dangerous new ally. The plan’s first step requires blood from a very specific target—and in very large amounts. Written by Gene Luen Yang with art by Freddie E. Williams II, this issue continues the ongoing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2024) arc and pushes the series’ mythic undercurrents into sharper focus. Cover variants by Greg Smallwood, Kevin Eastman, Inhyuk Lee, Luca Pizzari and more showcase the book’s bold visual storytelling. The story deepens the Turtles’ loyalties and their foes’ schemes, blending ninja action, conspiratorial intrigue, and character-driven moments that TMNT fans have come to expect from this era.
