Raph takes a good look at Leo and makes a judgement on the latter's capability to lead the team.
This is also the first time I drew Leo and Karai's little family together. Leo has something to fight for, and Raph recognizes that fact.
I wanted a simple and direct drawing of Kuro as the title page for the new chapter. But I drew it and colored it inverted, so the black portions were originally white, and the red portions were originally blue.
But it does what I wanted it to do. It's just so classic Shredder.
