The Rat King is scheming behind the scenes, and it will be up to the Shredder to find a way to stop the trickster god and his new trio of terror—Madame Null, Baxter Stockman, and LeatherKrang! Will the former master of the Foot Clan be able to locate the necessary counter-pieces to foil the Rat King’s latest deadly gambit…or will chaos rule the day in NYC and Mutant Town? One thing’s for certain: the answers won’t be found in only one dimension. Enemies become allies and exciting new characters are debuted when longtime TMNT scribe Tom Waltz returns to the pages of IDW’s ongoing canon in this official prequel to the massive TMNT event of 2022…the Armageddon Game!

Synopsis[]
Story So Far… After the immortal witch-goddess Kitsune failed in her attempt to resurrect the Pantheon’s dragon father, her sibling, the Rat King, continued their family’s eternal game – operating in the shadows recruiting unlikely pawns to the next round of his nefarious plot. With the Splinter Clan busy protecting Mutant Town, the only hope of foiling the Rat King’s latest gambit to rule the world falls upon the shoulders of the reformed enemy of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles… the Shredder!
New York City. Now.
Oroku Saki – the Shredder, stands on his rooftop garden looking out over the city. He contemplates his chaotic past – a past that has led him to this uncertain present. His story is one of violence and death, which included seppuku.
The story continues with his rebirth, his battles with his old enemies who had also been reborn – as Splinter and the Turtles. It tells of Shredder’s defeat at the hand of Splinter, who graciously provided him with an honorable death. With this death only Hell awaited him, but a combination of forces resurrected him into this, his third life.
He has now been offered a chance to redeem himself for the atrocities he inflicted in the previous two lives. Saki is now just a man, who wonders if he is ready for redemption.
