IDW Publishing has revealed a new member of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles named Jennika, designed by TMNT artist Sophie Campbell. But before we get to the (rather crazy) story of how Jennika came to be a Ninja Turtle as seen in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #95, view the new Ninja Turtle in her yellow mask and wielding a sword, bow, and claw weapon.

Take a look:Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #95 by writers Tom Waltz and Kevin Eastman, artist Dave Watcher, and colorist Ronda Pattison with story by Bobby Curnow.A human woman named Jennika, or Jenny for short, has been making waves in the series of late, as she is both the love interest of Casey Jones and a member of the Foot Clan. Though the Foot Clan is typically a villainous group, it was actually taken over by Splinter in this comic series, and he’s been hard at work trying to reform them into something more honorable. Jenny has long been loyal to the ideals of the Foot Clan but often found herself conflicted with what was right and wrong. That was put to the test when former Foot Clan leader Karai confronted Jenny and asked for her help in retaking control from Splinter. When Jenny refused, Karai stabbed her.The Ninja Turtles tried to rescue Jenny by bringing her to a lab where they planned to save her with the healing properties of the Ooze, but that plan was interrupted when they were attacked and the Ooze canister was destroyed by the Earth Protection Force bad guys and Metalhead. Desperate and running out of time to save Jenny, Donatello decided to use Leonardo to perform an emergency blood transfusion into Jenny, hoping Leo’s mutant blood would be enough to do the trick.The transfusion proved to be successful, with Jenny surviving, but it had the unexpected side effect…. of transforming her into a turtle!That’s how Issue #95 ends, which is Part 3 of the “City at War” story arc, so we’re still waiting to see how she becomes a member of the TMNT team proper, not to mention how she selects her mask color and weapons.What do you make of Jennika? Let us know in the comments.
