Just about🌠 everyone loves some version of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles since they've been around in one form or another since the mid-'80s. But how many of us are fans of the short-lived 1997 live-action show Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation?
If you're raising your hand, you're about to be in luck꧋, as IDW Publishing is bringing back that show's somewhat controversial original character Venus de Milo - the first female member of the TMNT.
Modern readers are well aware of Jennika, the female turtle who has been a recurring character in the ൩core TMNT title as well as in a number of starring🐻 limited series. But over two decades ago, she was beaten to the team by Venus, who pretty much existed only in The Next Mutation, a show which received tepid reviews from fans and critics alike, lasting only a single 26-episode season.
Now, ID✃W is bringing Venus back with a revival in the finale of the current arc of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ongoing series, March 19's T♒eenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #127, with a subsequent spotlight in IDW's TMNT Free Comic Book Day release.
According to IDW's announcement, the TMNT will discover Venus in the laboratory of the mysterious Doc♐tor Barlow - and judging by TMNT series artist Pablo Tunica's c🍰over for TMNT #127, Barlow's experiments with grafting new body parts onto mutants may be where Venus' new origins lie.
"I'd been trying to make a Venus comeback happen for a while, and I almost can't believe it's finally happening!” states Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles writer♚ Sophie Campbell (who also provides the Venus character art seen here).
Campbel♛l has been writing TMNT for two years and is the writer who initially turned Jennika, a previously established character, into a mutant turtle herself.
