About the author
Jason Aaron
2,351 books1,679 followersJason Aaron grew up in a small town in Alabama. His cousin, Gustav Hasford, who wrote the semi-autobiographical novel The Short-Timers, on which the feature film Full Metal Jacket was based, was a large influence on Aaron. Aaron decided he wanted to write comics as a child, and though his father was skeptical when Aaron informed him of this aspiration, his mother took Aaron to drug stores, where he would purchase books from spinner racks, some of which he still owns today.
Aaron's career in comics began in 2001 when he won a Marvel Comics talent search contest with an eight-page Wolverine back-up story script. The story, which was published in Wolverine #175 (June 2002), gave him the opportunity to pitch subsequent ideas to editors.
In 2006, Aaron made a blind submission to DC/Vertigo, who published his first major work, the Vietnam War story The Other Side which was nominated for an Eisner Award for Best Miniseries, and which Aaron regards as the "second time" he broke into the industry.
Following this, Vertigo asked him to pitch other ideas, which led to the series Scalped, a creator-owned series set on the fictional Prairie Rose Indian Reservation and published by DC/Vertigo.
In 2007, Aaron wrote Ripclaw: Pilot Season for Top Cow Productions. Later that year, Marvel editor Axel Alonso, who was impressed by The Other Side and Scalped, hired Aaron to write issues of Wolverine, Black Panther and eventually, an extended run on Ghost Rider that began in April 2008. His continued work on Black Panther also included a tie-in to the company-wide crossover storyline along with a "Secret Invasion" with David Lapham in 2009.
In January 2008, he signed an exclusive contract with Marvel, though it would not affect his work on Scalped. Later that July, he wrote the Penguin issue of The Joker's Asylum.
After a 4-issue stint on Wolverine in 2007, Aaron returned to the character with the ongoing series Wolverine: Weapon X, launched to coincide with the feature film X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Aaron commented, "With Wolverine: Weapon X we'll be trying to mix things up like that from arc to arc, so the first arc is a typical sort of black ops story but the second arc will jump right into the middle of a completely different genre," In 2010, the series was relaunched once again as simply Wolverine. He followed this with his current run on Thor: God of Thunder.

TMNT #7 by Jason Aaron and Juan Ferreyra continues to crush it. The writing is sharp and character-driven, balancing intense action with real emotional weight. Aaron nails the voices of the Turtles—keeping them familiar but injecting fresh energy into their world.
Ferreyra’s art is a standout here: dynamic, gritty, and full of momentum. Every panel feels alive and packed with personality. The visuals perfectly match the tone of the story and elevate the whole experience.
Absolutely loving this run so far. The series feels both classic and new, and I can’t wait to see where it goes next.

Yeah this is shaping up to be the best TMNT run ever. The brothers are at odds, and when not together, they get truly fucked up. This is the first time I feel the Turtles are in big trouble.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2024-) #7, NYC vs. TMNT, Part One: "The Sewers of Newark"
Donnie has gone off the deep end...or has he? The reunited Turtles hide out from the denizens of New York City, a familiar place for our team of ninja turtles. But where the city previously cared little of them, now they are being actively hunted courtesy of DA Hale's violent anti-mutant rhetoric. Still failing to work together, each Turtle ventures out on their own to see if they can figure out their next steps - save for Donatello who remains assured that the late Master Splinter has a plan to fix this. This issue is really just a tease for the second arc of Jason Aaron's run, but it's an effective one nonetheless. Juan Ferreyra is also quickly catapulting himself as a top tier artist for TMNT, with this issue featuring some truly bold, violent and gritty panels that feel like an appropriate modernization of the original Eastman and Laird run.

4.5 stars again, easily. Another fantastic entry in this series that is quickly becoming one of my favorites. The art by Juan Ferreyra is fantastic, very distinct and perfect for the grittiness of this series. If he's the regular artist going forward, that's yet another reason to keep up with this title.
This issue is narrated by Donnie, who seems to be somehow mad and the most lucid of all four brothers at the same time. The reflections on their greater mission and their immediate danger make for thrilling reading, and I really have to say, this series does a fantastic job of combining the nostalgia of loving these turtles as a kid with the adult reality of a violent world and how we can respond to it. I really have to say, I'm blown away by how good this series has been so far.

Turtles are still at odds with eachother, but Donnie is pulling them back together. I was never a huge Donatello fan but this issue made me relate to him alot. always trying to make everyone happy, and talk some sense into people so we all get along. Great issue, can tell a turning point is coming. The foot is everywhere, and my turtle boys are gonna solve it! can't wait to see where it goes from here

A new arc begins and Jason Aaron continues to fire on all cylinders, the story is gritty and intense, the turtles are down on their luck and on the run, things aren’t looking good at all, but hope is always an option. Juan Ferreyra’s artwork here is a dark and magnificent display of how I imagine modern TMNT should be.

I would give this story arc more stars if I could. Gritty, hopeless, (at the moment) action and story packed. The turtle family is really going through it. Like all families they are struggling to find a common goal and connection. I love you Donnie.

This story continues to be tragic and dark and I love it!!! Donnie is so broken but also seems to be the most logical one at the same time. The brothers are going to have to figure out how to work together or they are in for a world of hurt. The stakes feel so high in this.

😭😭 Jason Aaron knows how to pull on the heart. That's the 2nd time I've cried from this series now

Series is just so good with plenty more to uncover! And this current art just feels to powerful; very cool style that highlights the brutality of the fights.

Very dark Turtles! Not the goofy cartoon turtles at all! I like the serious tone the series is setting.

I don't think I was prepared for Donatello's reveal at the end. Great stuff.
