Leo's face.....

:tlol:

I am really enjoying all this new art of the guys IDW is providing us with!

[CyberCubed]

At least the red bandanas live on in alternate covers. ;)

[Samhain]

Yeah, I'm pretty happy about that. Better than nothing.

[ToTheNines]

Very Dooney-ish. I like it.

[Toby Barrett]

Wow, that does look like Dooney. Very nice cover!

[oldmanwinters]

Is this the one?
http://forum.idwpublishing.com/viewtopic.php?p=274697#274697

Not bad!

But now these alternating bandanas on all the variant covers are starting to confuse me!

[Andrew NDB]

Makes me immediately think of those old Konami TMNT video game covers/posters. Pretty cool.

[CyberCubed]

I would love to see these artists who are doing the covers do an entire issue, maybe for one of the micros or specials down the line.

Dan Duncan is pretty good, but I wouldn't mind a little variety now and then.

[Jester]

I agree with the "Dooney-esque" description.

[Redeemer]

Pretty badass cover Im loving this cover. I am very impressed with this cover. one of my favorite yet.

[Powder]

Now that is quality work, I love it. Great to see these artists choosing to go red.

[Andrew NDB]

Given the high level of detail and time likely involved in making that piece, it's likely it was begun before the sudden switching of gears to the rainbow. Though it's possible the artist just plain wanted them red... Bobby has affirmed that alternate cover artists are free to color them how they like.

Either way, makes for a wall-worthy poster piece. I would buy it right now.

[Samhain]

Yes. IDW needs to get on that ASAP.

[Donnie]

Hell yeah, I was thinking that too. Love it!

[Machias Banshee]

I like this Very much... Leo's expression IS good, but the proportions of the turtles is very good - they're muscular, but they're not steroidal like some pics I've seen.

The cover art really improves with every issue. :) Tyler's definitely a good addition to the artistic arsenal...

[Eiko]

Very nice.:):)

[pannoni1]

Very classic in appearance. Leo as the leader, Mikey in the back following them, the sewer design, and of course the bandanas definitely would make a great poster. The way those bandana tails are placed however could be mistaken for hair! And who knows as this could be the issue where Shredder strikes as #10 on the first series had Shredder on the cover and the tenth episode of the 4kids series had the first appearance of Shredder!

[1984TMNT]

Makes me immediately think of those old Konami TMNT video game covers/posters. Pretty cool.

I thought the same thing.... However it seems to most resemble this poster for the 1990 movie, which I had and was always one of my favorite images of the non-OT Turtles

Speaking of which, has anyone come across this before? I just stumbled upon it and, man - it's impressive! http://coolandcollected.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/mondo_tmnt_poster2.jpg

[Donnie]

1984, I thought the same thing...the art totally looks like that poster, I have it as well, always one of my favorite posters.

That bottom image is sick! Who did it?

The artist is Jeff Proctor. I found it randomly searching for movie posters. There is some more info here: http://www.blast-o-rama.com/2011/01/19/cowabunga-mondo-teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-poster-revealed/

It's simply badass.

[junkboy]

I am seeing this for the first time as well. It is just great.

[Samhain]

Check the first post for Dan Duncan's Shredder cover. Damn, seriously bad ass!

[DrSpengler]

Very Dooney-ish. I like it.

My thoughts exactly. That Walpole cover will be the one I get (if the shop obtains any).

[Powder]

As awesome as I feel the Shredder looks, am I the only one a bit pissed off by the reveal of this cover?
It seems unfair that our first time seeing Shredder is this way. It takes the "WHOA" right out of whatever issue he's to appear in.

Maybe a little... but I'm glad to finally see him.

My bigger concern is them not putting any turtles on the cover. Then again, we've got variants... and Shredder is extremely recognizable. I just hope they never get "Mirage cocky":

[AquaParade]

Shredder looks awesome.

Glad to see a more agility-friendly outfit as opposed to a hulking suit of armor. His face/mouth seem to be covered in cloth. Interesting choice, but it looks good.

[CyberCubed]

Anyone think Shredder's helmet looks a lot like 4kids Shredder? In fact, its almost identical.

If this is the same Shredder as the one from Feudal Japan, it really does give Ch'rell vibes. I guess we'll see.

[Andrew NDB]

Very interesting. I like this Shredder design and appreciate how unique it is.

[TMNT is cooler than MOTU]

NICE! I've always preferred to see a sleeker Shredder that doesn't have a cape or bulky armor. Kinda wish he had a metal face plate but other than that I think he looks great and will look awesome kicking some turtle ass.

[Oculus Orbus]

I like Shredder. I was a bit worried about how he'd turn out, but I really dig what Duncan has done with him. Also, the art itself seems pretty solid, one of the best covers so far in my opinion.

Oh geez out of all the issue of the Turtles Mirage did this was one of a handful that didn't have one of the Turtles on the cover. I would hardly call that "cocky".

:trazz:

I guess it was more of a "we're cancelling this book in 4 issues and Jim really wants to draw a dog" thing lol.

To be completely honest this wouldn't surprise me :twink:

[Matches Malone]

I too miss the metal mouth guard a bit, but the cloth kind of furthers the ninja/samurai hybrid design which is really cool and gives it a unique spin. I'm a little on the fence on the shoulder pads, wishing a bit they looked more like th Feudal Japan version, but again, I like its uniqueness.

[Donnie]

I love how we're getting Shredder in #10, just like Shredder returned in Mirage in #10. He looks badass!

[Samhain]

I really do like the design choice for Shredder. I hate that whole ''body armor''. But just like in Mirage, he has a nice balance of real clothes mixed with a few badass pieces of ''tin can''. I like it!

[Toby Barrett]

I love this Shredder! I was afraid we were going to get another giant armored Shredder like in the Nicktoon.
Really digging the color scheme, the red and dark grey/blue really go well together!

http://i40.tinypic.com/2yuytt2.jpg

Shredder is simply Bad Ass!!!!!!!!!! Loven the way shredder looks!!!!!!! Hell Yeah!!!! Hopefully the Cartoon Shredder will look this bad ass

[Kendamu]

Freaking sweet! I was afraid we'd get something closer to the 4Kids Shredder (way too armored and bulky for my tastes). I'm glad we got this design.

[Powder]

I do quite like it myself, it's toned down yet intimidating & it sets itself apart nicely from other universes. I give it 2 thumbs up.

[Andrew NDB]

It's like a perfect balance of the Mirage Shredder coupled with what worked in the 4Kids Shredder, then balanced with functionality and aesthetic badassery. I love the way the wristblades look like they could really function.

Shoulder pieces look great.

[Raven]

Its better then I was expecting, the color scheme really works for me. Its simple, not over done. Plus it looks like he could really be a threat to the turtles!

[CyberCubed]

Plus it looks like he could really be a threat to the turtles!

Most likely Shredder will wipe the floor with them with ease in his debut, they gotta build him as a huge threat.

[TonySiegel]

diesel! good old shredder is back!

[Andrew NDB]

I'd have kept the faceplate, just because that's so definitively Shredder, but this design makes the lack of it work and eerily so.

I only hope there's not some kind of brain inside his abdomen... and that that's not fur on his arms...

[CyberCubed]

I am still getting the vibes that the IDW Leo and #10 are going to be based on the Mirage Leo and #10....just without April's shop being torched.

We've seen this story adapted twice before in the first movie and 4kids cartoon, so I'm curious how IDW will do it differently.

[Samhain]

I only hope there's not some kind of brain inside his abdomen... and that that's not fur on his arms...

You and me both.

[Toby Barrett]

I don't think that's fur, so much as it is the way Duncan shadows. Hoping Shredder's 100% human as well!

[1984TMNT]

Check the first post for Dan Duncan's Shredder cover. Damn, seriously bad ass!

Freakin EPIC!!! Now THAT, is a new take on Shredders design that I can really get to love.....soooooo much better than the Nick take on it for the new toon. Everything about this design makes sense and seems to serve a functional purpose.

Holy crap - just.....so bad ass!!!!!!!!:tgrin:

As awesome as I feel the Shredder looks, am I the only one a bit pissed off by the reveal of this cover?
It seems unfair that our first time seeing Shredder is this way. It takes the "WHOA" right out of whatever issue he's to appear in.

I do completely see your point and it's totally valid. At the same time, I'm just happy to see this new version of him and am very pleased with the design. As Andrew noted above, the only thing I would possibly change is the metal face plate, as that IS Shredder - however, perhaps that comes into play later on - perhaps after he takes a massive beating to the face as it would be a vulnerable spot? Even if not, the cloth works and I have no major gripe with it.

At least the helmet isn't two feet tall/thin like Nick's......(not to mention the 4 foot blades on his gauntlets):twink:

You and me both.

Amen to that! The ONLY thing that will piss me off about the new Shredder in this generation is that he isn't 100% human. Let's pray they keep him his original human self. Hopefully he will look something like this in the new movie.

[Master Splinter]

Can't stop looking at the Shredder. It's just so cool.

-ms

[Oculus Orbus]

I only hope there's not some kind of brain inside his abdomen... and that that's not fur on his arms...

He seems to have two functional eyes, so I'd say that's not fur. Please.

[Toby Barrett]

"More Micros will start in June." (http://forum.idwpublishing.com/viewtopic.php?p=276227#276227)

Heck yes! I wonder who'll be next? Splinter? Shredder? April? One of the turtles again?

[ToTheNines]

Like I said over there: Money's on Shredder.

[Toby Barrett]

That would be so awesome! Shredder's never really focused on, as far as his reasoning and ambitions go.

[Powder]

Gimmie a Casey issue, please and thank you.

[oldmanwinters]

Gimmie a Casey issue, please and thank you.

I think a Casey issue would be great! (And essential.)

But for many of these supporting characters, I wish we could get their "how did they meet the Turtles" detail not just checked off but relationally developed before we start having adventures with them as the main focus. A Casey story could work either pre-turtles or post-turtles. A Splinter, Old Hob, Shredder, or Oroku Saki story would probably work fine too. Stockman would be a stretch at this point. But for characters like April, I just don't see how we could get an interesting comic out of her before issue #10. Hopefully, she'll have built up a decent rapport with the turtles before her Micro-Series installment comes around. A "Rocksteady"/"Bebop" issue might be fun too. But we'd probably need them to mutated before things really get interesting.

[Matches Malone]

I think it's reasonable to say that Splinter, Shredder, April, and Casey are on the next tier of main characters in a TMNT book after the turtles. Given that, I always figured Splinter would be a natural stepping stone when branching out these Micro-Series, as he is the mentor of the four turtles in said series. On the other hand, #5 almost felt like a Splinter/Hamato Yoshi Micro-Series, so who knows!

Great to hear! I love his covers. They really should let him do interiors at some point.

Agreed, and agreed! He's gonna be at a con I'm going to in June, looking forward to meeting him and getting a sketch.

[Mayhem]

I got into Mouse Guard as I knew a couple of folks who also read Usagi picked it up, so I have them to blame heh... I usually see David each SDCC but as I don't know if I'll be able to make the US this year, then seeing him next week in London will have to do heh. Really pleased IDW have asked him to continue the covers.

Once again, Eastman knocks it out of the park!

[Toby Barrett]

... Hell yes.

[DonatelloFan]

Yet another issue where I want every variant. I'm going to go broke...

[Powder]

Pretty rad stuff. Not all that impressed with Kevins rendition of the IDW Shredder though. This Mirage styled Shredder he did for me on commission a few months back is far more imposing. That's nothing against the new design though, Dan killlllls it.

I'm glad I'm not alone in thinking that Duncan trumped Eastman on this round. I didn't want to say anything at first for fear of being branded a heretic though. :trazz:

Duncan's Shredder cover is flat-out amazing.

Keep in mind that the TPB volumes will probably include full cover galleries are bonus content. That might be the most financially feasible to own a print of each cover.

I love the Shredder design. I'm just curious to see how the story continues.

All I know is it was sold as a poster on Mondo (tee shirts and poster prints) and was sold out in no time. There was at least one variant color. Last time I saw this poster someone had it on ebay for something crazy like $500. I always check Mondo now because the art there is great.

edit: looks like there is one up for $299 right now. There was another color version that was super expensive. Still to much for me to spend on a poster.

I second this.....

Interesting side note, in Eastman's version, it looks like the IDW Shredder will not have blades on his shins. Not sure if that really bothers me or not, but I think he looks more "complete" with them.

I also noticed Eastman's Shredder has a cape whereas I don't see one in Duncan's. Perhaps it's a perspective issue or a design that got changed. I personally prefer no cape. Duncan's Shredder is closer to the Mirage design than any other version, with a few minor changes, which I generally like. Still, it's different enough that it feels awkward to see Eastman trying to adapt Duncan's design. Then again, it seems like his cover was turned in a bit late, so maybe this was a rushed job. This will be my first time buying a Duncan cover since issue #3!

Good observation. It looks like the fabric bunching around the neck/shoulders in Duncan's is the same in Eastman's cover.....I wonder if the cape is really there in Duncan's, but just hanging directly behind Shredder's back/legs so we can;t see it. Once again, could just be perspective throwing things off. Now that I think of it, the bunching around the neck would be a bit weird if it didn't lead to a cape or something along those lines.

Regardless, Duncan's cover is one of the most impressive images of Shredder to date (in any universe).

[Powder]

Another factor to my preferring Dan's cover this time around, is in the colors of the Eastman variant. Kevin does a LOT of blacks when he inks stuff, and it's arguably a large part of his signature style. The toning is done in all black, rather than grays, duo-tone styled effects, or whatever. I guess the colorist or somebody at IDW feels that this type of work lacks breathing room for color, because they preserve the opacity and color over his blacks, making them darker shades of whatever color the part toned is. I don't like that. In a sense that's editing the original work, which is kinda disrespectful to Kevin (in my eyes at least) and I don't consider it an improvement. I like the dark gritty stuff way better. A variant doesn't necessarily need to be an eye grabber with color, it's just a collectors issue anyway, really.

[Andy Christ]

Can someone post all the #10 covers?

Thank You!!!:tgrin:

[Toby Barrett]

They're linked on the very page you're asking for them, look a little closer... =p
