As announced last July during San Diego Comic-Con, writer Gene Luen Yang and artist Freddie E. Williams II will take over the ongoing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles title from IDW with issue #13 this December. Much like when the publisher relaunched the book last year, you can expect some major promotion. Sure enough, today IDW announced TMNT blind bag variant covers for the issue. Each will be available for $4.99 and feature art by all-star comic creators including Daniel Warren Johnson, Kevin Eastman, David Nakayama, and more.

The pre-order deadline for TMNT #13 is October 20, which is the final chance comic book readers have to tell their local comic shop they want to pre-order the issue and get the blind bags. The blind bag variant is listed at cover price, only $4.99.

TMNT #13 from Yang and Williams II, which is the start of a new story featuring the first appearance of a mysterious new villain, goes on sale December 10.
