TMNT Graphic Novel Crossover With Stranger Things Gets 40% Preorder Discount

The kids from Netflix’s hit series Stranger Things are used to being in the presence of unbelievable beings, so they are probably better equipped to deal with the realization that crime-fighting, talking turtles roam the sewers of New York City. For the rest of us, a Stranger Things crossover with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles likely sounds a bit, well, strange. And yet, that’s exactly what happened in last year’s comic miniseries. If you didn’t check out the cool crossover last year, you’ll be happy to learn that all four issues have been collected and reprinted in a new trade paperback. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles x Stranger Things releases April 23 and is available to preorder for $12.41 at Amazon, which is nearly a 40% discount off the book’s $20 list price.

The collected issues feature some fantastic art from Fero Pe and Sofie Dogson, while Cameron Chittock’s story sets the events of this story between the second and third seasons of Stranger Things.

“Eleven, Max, Dustin, Mike, Will, and Lucas are looking forward to a nonthreatening, fun-filled trip to New York City,” the plot synopsis reads. “With the gang hundreds of miles from the otherworldly weirdness of their hometown, they’re sure to catch a break this time–or at least that’s what they think until they encounter a threat both bizarre and familiar. To face that threat, they must unite with a fearsome fighting team every bit as bizarre…but green!”

The last couple of years has been a renaissance period for the TMNT franchise, as the IP has received excellent animated shows and comic book series. IDW’s main TMNT series has dozens of issues available to read–conveniently collected into several trade paperbacks–and the Turtles have crossed over with several other hot properties. Right now, you can pick up some fun adventures starring the quartet as they cross paths with Batman, Street Fighter, and even the Ghostbusters.

For some more great reading, you can also check out The Last Ronin and its Lost Years tie-in, a gritty director’s cut of the miniseries, and an ultimate collection reprint of the original TMNT comic books.
