Here's IDW's official synopsis of issue #5:
The second installment in the legendary Last Ronin saga reaches its fiery and climactic conclusion! The streets of New York have erupted in an all-out war, and no one is safe. Casey, April, Odyn, Yi, Moja, and Uno are all in the crosshairs. Will everyone make it out alive? Their fate rests in the hands of legendary writers Kevin Eastman & Tom Waltz as curtains close on this chapter of The Last Ronin!
In a 2024 interview with IGN, Kevin Eastman shared insights into the creative process behind the new generation of Turtles: "One of the things that we did want to do was really update the characters. There's two male, two female Turtle characters, and me and Tom trying to write what teenagers might think and say and do. There's a nice cross section of different personalities, much like the original Turtles. You want to have them always love their family, but not always like them. And so they might argue. They might spat. They might have disagreements, but when they need to work together as a team, it's the heart and soul of the family that always keeps them together. And that's always going to be the foundation of anything we do with Turtles."
TMNT: The Last Ronin II - Re-Evolution #5 is set to hit the shelves on April 30. You can also pre-order the hardcover collection of The Last Ronin II on Amazon.
