Josh Silverman, President, Global Products & Experiences, Paramount added:
Botherhood and resilience. The Turtles’ stories continue to evolve while staying true to the beloved characters, classic humor, and action packed storytelling that have captivated generations of fans and cemented the franchise’s place in pop culture. Comics remain a defining expression of that legacy, allowing new adventures to unfold, expanding the universe, and deepening the stories in ways only this medium can.”
