IDW'S TMNT: SHREDDER IN HELL
IDW Publishing had announced that Mateus Santolouco will both write and draw Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder in Hell, a five-issue miniseries slated to debut in early 2019 that serves as a sequel to the Secret History of the Foot Clan storyline.
Here's how the series is described:
"Shredder in Hell, the latest chapter in IDW's groundbreaking TMNT saga, sinks into the nightmarish pits of the afterlife, where the infamous leader of the Foot Clan struggles to survive. In the process, Shredder discovers his true purpose... as well as the origins of the great beings responsible for both destruction and creation in his world."
"I'm very humble and thankful to help expand the rich universe of TMNT, adding new layers to the Turtles' main villain," Santolouco said. "We're not only revealing Shredder's role in a conspiracy of divine proportions, but we'll have a better understanding of his fears and ambitions. Oroku Saki is more human than ever... and this will only make him an even stronger force for the TMNT to face."
Editor Bobby Curnow said, "Shredder in Hell is in many ways a spiritual sequel to the beloved Secret History of the Foot Clan. There's one crucial difference: whereas before Mateus was just coming into his own as a creator, he is now, five years later, working at a master class level. The art he is producing is unreal, and the story is surprisingly deep and reaches to the core of IDW's TMNT universe."
GEORGE TAKEI'S THEY CALLED US ENEMY
IDW Publishing has announced a 2019 release for George Takei's They Called Us Enemy.
Here's how IDW describes the book, co-written by Justin Eisinger and Steve Scott and drawn by Harmony Becker:
"George Takei has captured hearts and minds worldwide with his magnetic performances, sharp wit, and outspoken commitment to equal rights. But long before he braved new frontiers in Star Trek, he woke up as a four-year-old boy to find his own birth country at war with his father's -- and their entire family forced from their home into an uncertain future.
"In 1942, at the order of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, every person of Japanese descent on the west coast was rounded up and shipped to one of ten "relocation centers," hundreds or thousands of miles from home, where they would be held for years under armed guard.
"They Called Us Enemy is Takei's firsthand account of those years behind barbed wire, the terrors and small joys of childhood in the shadow of legalized racism, his mother's hard choices, his father's tested faith in democracy, and the way those experiences planted the seeds for his astonishing future.
What does it mean to be American? Who gets to decide? When the world is against you, what can one person do?"
