"THE SHREDDER" graphic novel - Page 9

Zog The Magnificent · 06-25-2021, 01:24 PM

I'm really liking Cover A. The colors really pop.

*Andrew NDB* · 06-27-2021, 03:52 AM

I admit, I favor A, while I find B more "material appropriate" to the feel of the book. Plus in print I suspect the colors may appear slightly more subdued anyway. But that's just me.

*frank_one* · 06-27-2021, 04:22 AM

Shouldn't we judge them with the logo in place?
I love 'em both, but as someone already said, A's colors would look great when printed.

*Sabacooza* · 06-27-2021, 12:08 PM

I had another version I did that looked more black and white with the reds more pronounced but I personally think the toned down version B, which is something in between, works better for the vibe of the book. However, version A is more eye catching so that's a tough one.

Zog The Magnificent · 06-27-2021, 01:50 PM

Yeah, it sorta feels like Cover B is the one it's "supposed" to be, but aesthetically speaking, I just really like Cover A. Maybe you could pull a Tales #70 and just do both.

Speaking of covers, Frank Fosco will be doing the back cover. And it may be a father and daughter reunion...

Of course she was always going to be in this.

Also, we're looking at an alternate cover version as an option. Just one. But one by Jim Lawson himself. Seems that it's happening.

Sweet! Two covers. So how does one order 2 of both covers? Lol.

I'll post about that when I have the art. And now I've confirmed veteran artist Keith Aiken, who inked all of Lawson's interiors on TMNT Vol. 1, #48, 49, 51, 52, 54, 55, 56, 57, 59, 60, 62 (basically the majority of "City at War" and he also inked Dooney's two part "Masks" storyline) will be inking Jim's pencilled cover 2. So that's extremely exciting to me. Also, he's very excited to to take another crack at some more Lawson work.

Sharman · 07-01-2021, 06:31 AM

Looks to be a cracker!

I have to say that I like both variations of the cover for different reasons.

Now you will see why they call me the shredder!!!! You see how brutally i kill my enemies!

A look at Frank Fosco's back cover before Sabacooza gives it the coloring treatment:

Also, I added options for Cover A and Cover B (as well as if you want both) into the campaign. Anyone who has backed a copy so far is signed up for the default Cover A.

*oldmanwinters* · 07-06-2021, 04:18 PM

Epic! Thanks for sharing!

*frank_one* · 07-06-2021, 06:28 PM

That piece by Fosco looks so damn classic!

It is also the first time he's ever drawn Pimiko without a mask.

Wow that fosco art

*Andrew NDB* · 07-16-2021, 05:35 AM

The colored back cover (to be clear, this is the back cover of both versions... the Ponce A and the Lawson/Aiken B).

I think Courtland did a hell of a job.

*newfan* · 07-16-2021, 05:45 AM

Really liking those covers

slashpieturtlemix · 07-16-2021, 10:23 AM
