A brand new era begins this December, for IDW’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

The Fab Four are rolling into a brand new direction in their ongoing over at IDW, as the publisher ramps up into TMNT #13.

It’s gonna be a Turtles kind of holiday season

First of all, this isn’t a reboot, or even a restart to the latest numbering for IDW’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series. Nevertheless, the publisher does say that this December will bring a “brand-new era” for the title, so we have to imagine that there are some big things on the horizon.

That fresh initiative will see Gene Luen Yang on board as writer, and he’ll be joined by artist Freddie E. Williams II. The new storyline will kick off with TMNT #13, and will include “an all-star lineup of artists” who’ll be providing a hefty slate of variant covers.

While you can see most of those below, the collection will be joined by a blind-bag. The bags will stock all of the covers you’ll see below, which includes a trio that you won’t be able to find, uh, unbagged.

Stay tuned, we’ll have more on TMNT #13 as soon as IDW reveals it. In the meantime, scroll down to check out those covers, and the full listing of not only what covers will be coming up, but how hard it’ll be to find them.

The full lineup of cool covers that can surprise fans when they open their blind bags (Variant F) includes:

• Freddie E. Williams II (Cover A)
• Kevin Eastman and Ben Bishop (Cover B)
• Jared Cullum (Cover C, Holiday Theme Variant)
• Clayton Crain (Cover D)
