Does the Eastman cover remind anyone else of the cover from Image #25? Looks similar to what Andrew wanted.

I also love how Duncan's is a throwback to Mirage #1.

I'm seriously considering putting money aside and getting all B covers now. They just seem better lately.

[DonatelloFan]

All of them look awesome. Obviously I like Cover A because it's an homage. And it looks great. I told my comic book shop that I wanted Cover B's everytime I pick my comics up. But when I go that week, I'll be picking up 'A', too.

Although the story isn't interesting me 100%, I do love the covers. And they seem to get better as time goes on. I can't wait for the issue where the Turtles are sitting in the lair playing video games, etc. That cover is awesome.

Thanks again Rich.

All the covers look great!!
Especially the Eastman and Duncan :D

[Powder]

Oh I want the everloving sh*t out of A & B.

[Donnie]

Yes, yes, and yes. Yes.

[Andy Christ]

I am so excited, I need to get a few back issue covers, and the Eastman cover is just so damn rad..

[Plasticplayhouse]

[Master Splinter]

Yes! Gimmie cover A. These look awesome!

[Toby Barrett]

I love that they waited until the very end of the first year to do a homage of the original TMNT cover. That's very class!

[marcelangelo]

wow!I almost wetted myself when seeing these covers here!!!!cowabunga for real!!!!the kevin cover is SO fcking exciting and full of life!!duncans cover is really nice, too in my oppininion!....


cyber-I didn't read your comments earlier, but I thought that to myself, too when looking at the cover super zoomed in;)...
I think it's to a part because the scene gives us a big brawl...

Actually, it kind of makes sense considering that this issue involves the Turtles fighting Shredder for the first time like Mirage #1.

[Drose18]

Duncans take on No. 1 is sick!

[Mayhem]

Does cover B suggest that Karai swaps sides and fights WITH the turtles?

Seems a little too early for her to switch sides since she just showed up in the comic.

[DonatelloFan]

Especially seeing how much she's stuck up Shredder's a**. I think she's pretty dedicated right now.

That too. Whether she's 100% loyal or knows what will happen if she ever betrayed him.

[pannoni1]

While I enjoy these covers, I am especially looking forward to the plot of this issue as it obviously looks to be the most critical moment so far. Your best bet is to not expect a rerun of any previous incarnation that featured a Shredder battle; but then again, it only took one episode for Lotus Blossom to betray Shredder in the OT, so that is certainly a possibility. I enjoy cover RI the most since Shredder just seems to loom over the turtles, about to destroy them.

[zkarlette]

I do too, I Prefer Eastman's cover, and RI the best.

[TonySiegel]

The vice grips have been tightened on our wallets and crotches... Covers A & B look ill!

[CyberCubed]

Kevin Eastman got his groove back. His early IDW covers were pretty boring looking, but now they're absolutely fantastic.

I guess Kevin was rusty from not drawing the Turtles in so long, but he improved back to his old style so quickly. His art is now just as fantastic as its ever been.

[corvus]

I really don't like the covers with just the turtles posing together that have nothing to do with the plot. That being said I do like issue twelve.

[Lampy]

Corvus... Im with you bro... Planning to just get all cover b from now on. Eastman's covers are getting sicker and awesomer. This is by far the best cover he's done for the idw series. Jesus christ that is amazing and i cannot wait for this.

[RskimB]

i agree man, B covers have been much better lately

[Drose18]

Whens the final showdown!!!!

[Dane E5R]

Duncan's cover A looks surprisingly dull for an issue 1 homage, and as much as I love Kevin, I'm really not digging his current style. He uses so much feathering and hatching that his drawings look... Hairy.

However, I have yet to see a Ryan Ottley drawing I wasn't impressed with. I need that as a poster.

[Andrew NDB]

I actually think Duncan's got the strongest cover there and not simply in terms of Mirage nostalgic value. Though I do wonder... what makes this particular issue warrant a Mirage #1 cover redux? I'm not knocking it, but doing so kind of invites a certain level of expectation and scrutiny that I wonder if will be delivered.

I agree with these statements wholeheartedly. Dan's cover looks more like an interior page to me.

Doesn't #12 end the first arc with Shredder? I thought I read that somewhere...

[corvus]

It also ends the first year.

[HotJuicyBurgers]

I wish my comic book shop is bigger. They never order enough to get the third cover :/

Kevin's cover this time around is awesome though
