Peep the cover to TMNT: Shredder #2
From the synopsis of TMNT: Shredder #1
As a dark new power rises from the shadows of New York, so does a much darker power return to the city’s streets…for revenge. One of the most terrifying villains in the history of comics is back—and more deadly than ever!
Returned forever changed by a maddening ordeal beyond imagining, the Shredder is a man out of time, betrayed by all around him, without the Foot Clan, and quite possibly insane. When one of his former Foot prodigies forms their own rival clan with infernal designs on New York, a recovering Shredder must quest deep into the criminal underworld, where enemies both old and new will discover what defiance will bring them at the end of the Shredder’s blades.
Dan Watters, the celebrated writer of Batman: Dark Patterns, Nightwing, Lucifer, Six Fingers, and Home Sick Pilots, teams with Michele Bandini (Batman Incorporated, Spider-Man: City at War) to tell the rags-to-revenge story of the ultimate ronin.

In case you didn’t know, the IDW Godzilla Kai-Sei Era is here!
“Kai-Sei is the name of the energy in our universe–the thing that really separates what we’re doing from other variations–so it seemed the most fitting. Kai-Sei is the reason Godzilla’s heat ray is green, it’s the source of our protagonist’s powers, and it’s the catalyst for all mutations in our world. It also happens to already sound like Heisei, the name for the second era, so the connective tissue is clear,” said IDW editor Jake Williams to The Beat.

From Godzilla #1:
In 1954, experimentation with a mysterious energy source known as Kai-Sei awakened Godzilla and a host of immortal kaiju. In the years that followed, humanity has been pummeled by near-constant monster attacks. While Japan has begun to treat the kaiju like natural disasters, understanding that their attempts to fight Godzilla only make the threat worse, the American G-Force is going to fight, fight, fight.The Americans have just discovered the ultimate tool in the fight against kaiju: a young boy named Jacen with the power of Godzilla. Able to harness the mysterious Kai-Sei in the same vein as the King of the Monsters, this boy will either save the world…or bring about its doom.
