Media Release – Who wants some free comics?

The second edition of Comics Giveaway Day arrives May 1, 2027, and IDW Publishing is celebrating by bringing the Blue Blur, the Heroes in a Half-Shell, and the first-ever official comic adaptation of the biggest web prose of all-time to comic shops around the world.

In TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLERS CGD 2027, the Ninja Turtles are bursting onto the scene for their first-ever Comic Giveaway Day! And we’ve got more turtles than we can handle. THREE different animated universes are coming to the page: Saturday Morning Adventures (writer Erik Burnham, artist Dan Schoening), Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (writer Andrew Joustra, artist Chalky Wong), and Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (writers Andy Suriano, Ian Busch, Russ Carney, Ron Corcillo; artist Brye Collins)! The turtles’ adventure will take them everywhere from Thanksgiving Day parades to comic book conventions! Each will get five pages of all-new content to give you a peek into these fan-favorite worlds.

In SONIC THE HEDGEHOG: THE ROAD TO #100 CGD 2027 (writers Evan Stanley, Bixie Mathieu, Riley Farmer; artist Min Ho Kim), the Mysterious Villain has been pulling the strings in Sonic the Hedgehog’s world for far too long. With their mind-altering illusions, they have spread mayhem from the eerie Blackwood Castle to the once-cheery Spiral Hill.

Now, Sonic and his friends must piece together the mystery, just in time for the final showdown in issue #100. Whether you’ve been following Sonic since #1, or if this is your first stop, this issue will help prepare you for this epic milestone.

Plus, fans can finally get their hands on the first-ever official comic adaptation of the biggest web prose ever with the prequel issue WORM #0 CGD (writer Meghan Fitzmartin, artist Javier Ortiz), featuring a new prose piece by original series creator John McCrae!

Before they were villains. Before they were heroes. They were just kids, forced to survive the impossible. On Earth Bet, superpowers are born through extreme trauma. In a single, life-changing moment, an ordinary person can become someone extraordinary—and what they do with their power is up to them…for better or worse.

Meet Taylor Hebert and the four teen criminals who will become The Undersiders as they experience the dark moments that trigger their powers, forever changing the course of their lives and the fate of the world.
