Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder, Vol. 1 - by Dan Watters (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

One of the most terrifying villains in the history of comics is back--and more deadly than ever! Why is he here and what path will he take? Find out as the Shredder gets his own series!

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! Long a nemesis of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Shredder has returned forever changed by a maddening ordeal beyond imagining--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.

Collects issues #1-6 of the comic series by Dan Watters, the celebrated writer of Batman: Dark Patterns and Nightwing, with artist Michele Bandini (Batman Incorporated, Spider-Man: City at War) to tell the rags-to-revenge story of the ultimate ronin.
