In 1987, the world at large was introduced to the TMNT by way of a catchy theme song and an action-packed cartoon. The cartoon’s aesthetic returns in Teenage Mutant Ninja Saturday Morning Adventures, featuring an all-new set of standalone stories! In this issue, after an unexpected power surge, the Heroes in a Half Shell find themselves trapped in a training simulator, fighting to free themselves from the digital clutches of some of their most fearsome foes! Get ready for “VR in Deep Trouble!” (And try not to worry if that theme song is already stuck in your head!)

The Rat King has gained the ability to control the Ninja Turtles! He’s ordered Leonardo, Raphael, and Michelangelo to go on a crime spree to benefit the rodents of the city while forcing Donatello to search for a way to return the Rat King’s original powers. Things look grim for our heroes, but this is the second part of a two-part story so you know they’re going to reverse the Rat King’s control and put things right! The nostalgia-fueled Saturday morning–inspired adventures of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles continue in “The Turtle King, Part Two”! Now an all-new ongoing series because you asked for it!

After learning that the Shredder has stolen an indestructible meteorite from TCRI, Donatello discovers an interdimensional signal in the deep south that he thinks might be connected! Donatello and Raphael take a little road trip to investigate, teaming up with the Punk Frogs Attila and Rasputin against an old enemy while they’re at it. The Saturday Morning Adventures continue with a new two-issue storyline – SWAPPING PADS!

With Donatello and Raphael away, Genghis Frog and Napoleon Bonafrog join Leonardo and Michelangelo in New York City to keep watch for any unexpected evil schemes by the Shredder... instead, they’re met with the unexpected return of Baxter Stockman, and he’s itching to try out a prototype invention against the Turtles. The Saturday Morning adventures continue with the conclusion to the two-part arc “Swapping Pads”!
