Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder #5
Description
Dark revelations abound as Agent Alda uncovers the stunning truth behind the Shredder's fate, the origin of his nightmarish visions, and the perilous place he was trapped—and the impossibly high price of his return. In this fifth issue of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder, the Mourner’s forces marshal for a climactic showdown that could bring New York City to its knees. Written by Dan Watters with art by Michele Bandini, the story threads are threaded through haunting imagery and tight, noir-tinged action. Across variant covers by Bandini and Sid Kotian (and Santolouco in the main title), the arc deepens the Shredder mythos while keeping the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles at the center of a city-wide thriller. This issue continues the ongoing Shredder series, blending crime, mystery, and superhero energy in a bold, character-driven chapter.
