Only partly new. Issues 1 through 100 were written by Kevin Eastman and Tom Waltz, with Bobby Curnow also becoming a main writer over time. Starting with issue 101, Kevin Eastman and Bobby Curnow are still on board, but Tom Waltz will leave and Sophie Campbell will take his place.

And while it's no coincidence that a new version of Mona Lisa designed by Sophie will be introduced in the first issue where Sophie is co-head writer, I don't expect this to drastically change Raphael's relationships. Sophie's generally been extremely good at what she's done for IDW, and I doubt this will be a replay of the previous versions of Mona Lisa which were characterized by fast and shallow romance. If she develops ties with Raphael, I expect it will happen gradually and feel earned, and perhaps not even favor him over any other character. This new version of Mona Lisa could very well be and remain single. It's better that way, because a character who cannot carry their part in a story outside a romantic pairing is a very poorly designed character.
