IDW TMNT #15 Cover & Synopsis
 

Just found this. Still not crazy about Kuhn's TMNT based on this cover, but we'll see.

I love the "gimmick" of the cover, kinda draws the eye, but the actual quality of art is a little ghastly. A little teeth-heavy?

Not really digging this cover... it looks too busy. Like they went way overboard with the police tape. I hope the interior art gets better.

God, those colors are... atrocious.

All I can say is this- Just wait until you see Kuhn's variant for #15. Then, you will be blown away.

why do so many IDW artists draw the turtles with rabbit teeth? I swear... it really annoys me

Still looking forward to the issue

So Kuhn did the A cover for #15, as well as the RI cover?

I thought this was Kuhn's cover for #15? Did you mean Eastman's variant?

omg, yes they are. i'm actually starting to like his rendition of the turtles. minus the teeth though. i think the teeth are a major distraction. i hope as he draws them more, he will begin to draw the teeth a little more natural looking.

i remember Duncan's Turtles used to be rather teethy when he started out. maybe, and hopefully, he'll get better. but i'm still not liking how they look like so far.

Reminds me a bit of the IMAGE TMNT.

I will be getting a variant cover. That cover is terrible.

Kuhn did another cover. It's a variant that features heavy spoilers, which is why you've not yet seen it. I only got a glimpse of it by flipping through his art book at a convention. :D There's a possibility it was 16's cover but I'm pretty positive he said it was a variant for 15.

I don't mind the colors, but the red background is kind of distracting. It feels more like its clashing with the rest rather then helping it out.

I hope the art on the cover doesn't reflect the interior story because if it does...

*shudders*

I think IDW made a mistake here.

Ahh... OK then. Can't wait to see it!:D

True, but when he did away with the teeth, the tops of their heads elongated to alien proportions. He replaced one oddity with another.

Reminds me of ketchup and mustard together, hopefully the variant covers will be good.

Haha, the penis-head mutant ninja turtle look always befuddled me. :tlol:

I would actually put my thumb over the top's of the Turtles' heads and imagine them beign drawn with more "normal" heads. Doing that, Duncan's TMNT wasn't that bad.

Your autocorrect changed the word "awesome".

i am also hoping the variant covers are better, not a fan of this

Oh c'mon man, they're an eyesore. I'm seldom critical of this book artwise, but that color job is one of the most lackluster things I've ever seen professionally printed.

Solicitations for #15 have Cover A (Kuhn), Cover B (Eastman), and Cover RI (Kagan McLeod) which is labeled as the "Infinite Kung-Fu Variant" cover (whatever that means).

Kagan McLeod did a graphic novel called 'Infinite Kung-fu' (which is great, pick it up). I suspect something got lost in translation there. It's just a standard, um, ninja variant.

I hope that IDW replaces Andy Kuhn as the primary artist for the TMNT series soon. He is talented enough and all but I absolutely detest his depiction of the turtles, I think that he draws all of the other characters quite well but not the turtles. He would have been a good selection for the upcoming Secret History of The Foot Clan mini-series where the turtles won't be involved.

The Kevin Eastman variant for 15 is awesome (like usual).

The turtles WILL be present in the SHofFC series.

That's the only version I get when I get these issues. So I hope Kevin keeps doing variants.

A new artist is replacing him for #17 and is going to be the new long-running artist ala Dan Duncan.

Andy Kuhn was always meant to be a short fill-in artist.

He is in for #17-#20. Plans after that are still unconfirmed officially.

Andy Kuhn draws the Baba-booey version of the TMNT. "Cowabunga, boff!"

Why the preview is not our yet? the comic will release tomorow and still no preview?

I came here looking for it too...

It was delayed until the 31st.

Are you SERIOUS?

What THEH ELL?! Then why here it says that release date is tomorow?:(:(

Yeah, its been known since about the time #14 came out. I hope it will not become a habit under the new artist. Think of if as the perfect push back date because the freaks come out on Halloween so why not let the rebel mutant turtle make a comeback on Halloween?:twink:

This sucks. Has the 2012 annual been pushed back as well?

A week until the 31st as well

It's now the 29th, is there still no preview online?
