"In the five issues of Lost Years, we’ll be covering approximately 16 years, both past (Mikey’s adventures in Asia and Europe) and present/future (basically highlighting the new turtles as they grow from age 3 to age 16)," Waltz teases. The creative team also includes letterer Shawn Lee. The flashbacks, meanwhile, will be illustrated by SL Gallant and inked by Maria Keane. Artist Ben Bishop and colorist Antonio Delgado are also returning, this time rendering the flash-forward sequences featuring the young Turtles. Lost Years is again plotted and written by Waltz and Eastman. Each chapter in this five-issue series (along with a one-shot tie-in special called The Last Ronin: Lost Day) will jump forward in time, tracing these characters as they grow from infants to full-fledged Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in their own right.
