TMNT #13 by Gene Luen Yang and Freddie E. Williams II Orders Over 100,000 Copies

In this video, I discuss the excitement around Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #13 from IDW Publishing, which has ordered over 100,000 copies ahead of its December 10, 2025 release, signaling strong interest from fans and retailers. The issue launches a new storyline by Eisner-winning writer Gene Luen Yang and artist Freddie E. Williams II, featuring the first appearance of the mysterious villain Ujigami, with both creators expressing enthusiasm for their contributions to the series' legacy. Positive early reactions come from outlets like CBR, AIPT, and Comic Book Club, praising it as an accessible jumping-on point that honors the Turtles' timeless appeal. I also touch on the appeal of blind bag variants at cover price, including covers by Kevin Eastman, Daniel Warren Johnson, and others, while noting how this fits into broader trends of renewed attention for older IPs alongside indie efforts like the Rippaverse, Ghost Machine, Skybound's Energon Universe, and Battle Brick Road. Overall, it's a promising shift toward stable comic sales without relying on 90s-era highs
