If you’re looking forward to reading Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #13 from IDW, better get on it quick. The publisher has announced that the pre-order deadline has moved up one week from October 20, to October 13.
The reason? Too many people are ordering the book. No, really (sort of). According to PR from IDW provided to Comic Book Club, “because order projections have gone higher than expected, and the printer will now receive extra time to produce more copies to meet the increased demand in the key comic and blind bags.”
So why the hype? While this is an unlucky number thirteen issue, IDW is essentially treating it like a new number one. That’s because Jason Aaron and Juan Ferreyra are finishing their run on the title with number twelve, and passing the katana to Gene Luen Yang and Freddie E. Williams II. Not only will it feature a new, ongoing story picking up after the end of the previous run, but it’ll also include an array of covers by Daniel Warren Johnson, Kevin Eastman and Ben Bishop, David Nakayama, Clayon Crain, and more.
Oh, and as mentioned, it’s got the whole blind bag thing going on, which is all the rage. The good news for collectors is the TMNT #13 blind bags won’t upcharge you: they’re $4.99, like the regular issue.
Not sure about pre-ordering the book? Check out our preview, which is a preview of the New York Comic Con preview that will be given out this week at the Javits Center. It’s preview-ception! And to whet your appetite, here’s one page of Williams’ art. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #13 hits stores on December 10, 2025.
