Fans of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, rejoice because they just merged for a spectacular collaboration, which reimagined all these heroes with fantastic, never-seen-before redesigns!
id="tmnt-gets-a-major-upgrade"> TMNT Gets a Major UpgradeFor a long time, TMNT ( Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) had some great transformations. Over all of its series. The TMNT have joined forces with other heroes but fans haven't seen the likes of a recent redesign.
You might know the four turtle heroes. There's Leonardo (The leader of the team!), Michelangelo (A hilarious dude who has so much charm.!), Donatello, the scientific mind, Raphael (Who always had this hothead attitude. He was the super tough and often violent turtle). These are some of the favorites for many, including fans and people who really get into all things comic books. These dudes have seen the world through animated series, live-action movies, video games. And everything in between but never quite something like this.
This was even more amazing. Fans are getting this new special series, Masters of the Universe/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles of Grayskull which is more than just a comic book! Tim Seeley wrote the comics while Freddie E. Williams II did all the art!
Masters of the Universe And The Crossover
The very first issue has brought together, some of the coolest, biggest villains!
- Skeletor (the big bad guy that no one likes in this universe). He is the nemesis of He-Man and one of those characters who fans recognize!
- The biggest threat to TMNT, the iconic villain Shredder!
- What's more awesome? We see Krang, the ultimate antagonist who gave TMNT some big-time challenges!
