The game has begun! Can the Turtles stand up to the onslaught, or will the Rat King take the early lead?

As the Rat King and his new Trio of Terror—Madame Null, General Krang, and Baxter Stockman—unleash the Armageddon Game on the denizens of New York City and Mutant Town, the TMNT—under the leadership of the newly reformed Shredder—turn to allies old and new to help them in their desperate quest to stop the Rat King’s nefarious plot. Karai, Casey Jones, April O’Neil, Nobody, Alopex, Bludgeon, and Venus—each play an important part in the apocalyptic contest for the world. But can this coalition withstand the Rat King’s latest gambit…or will a new and unexpected alliance form in its wake?  

Collecting issues #1–6 by Erik Burnham, Roi Mercado, Will Robson, Juni Ba, Sophie Campbell, Paul Allor, and Pablo Verdugo, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Armageddon Game—The Alliance breaks all the rules!

Erik Burnham is a Minnesotan writer and artist that first broke into comics by way of the Nick Landime feature from Shooting Star Comics. This led first to other anthologies and then work for IDW Publishing, up to and including his critically acclaimed work on the Ghostbusters line of comic books and, later, the official Tobin's Spirit Guide.

Erik's been fortunate to work with many companies in the last few years, including Cryptozoic, Dynamite, IDW, Insight Editions, Marvel, and Panini on properties such as Ghostbusters, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Back to the Future, Galaxy Quest, Scarlet Spider, New Warriors, Red Sonja and KISS—with more on the way (which is good news, because he loves his work). Erik still lives in Minnesota; any rumors about this being because he's completely afraid of the forty-nine other states (and Canada) remain unverified at this time.
