It's a good time to be a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fan. While we wait out the 2012 debut of the new CG animated series from current rights-holders Nickelodeon, there's a brand new TMNT comic series on the way from IDW Publishing.

The new Turtles title, announced today at Wondercon, will hit stores this summer.

Very cool to see Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello and Raphael in the hands of IDW, a publisher with a rock-solid record of staying true to what's great about much-loved licensed titles while still pro  (see G.I. Joe, Transformers, Star Trek, etc.)
