Earlier this week Walt Disney Pictures announced details of their first Star Wars spin-off film entitled ‘Rogue One’ and also announced that the upcoming ‘Star Wars VIII’ will be released on 26th May 2017.

Pickup a copy of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #43 at Comixology.

Following but updating the canon has brought the turtles to an entirely new audience…

It seems that the ‘Green Arrow’ comics have been searching for a setup which mirrored…
