TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES #13 Cover A by Freddie E. Williams II
After an incredible ongoing series run from Jason Aaron and Juan Ferrerya, the high-quality, heartfelt and exciting storytelling that fans deserve won’t miss a beat with the arrival of an all-star duo: Eisner-winning writer Gene Luen Yang (Shang-Chi, Superman Smashes the Klan, Avatar: The Last Airbender, American Born Chinese) and blockbuster artist Freddie E.
