An epic showdown brings TMNT heroes and villains from across the multiverse together for the very first time in this comic series by five incredible creative teams! The raddest TMNT event of the decade kicks off here! When one of the Turtles' closest allies is taken hostage by a mysterious adversary, the brothers are drawn into a new dimension of adventure in Battle Nexus.
