Although all are cool, Kevin's covers really bring the old-school feel back to the TMNT.

I kind of like the con one best, but I know I'd never be able to get my hand on one for a normal price lol

Edit: although Cover B is different. Probably one of the few covers of the new series to not have a main character on it. (unless one of those nameless thugs becomes a main character, or I'm just having a massive brainfart.)

That actually looks to be Angel on the front cover, thats my guess though

It wasn't really a once-per-season appearance. Zach appeared a bunch of times in season 3 and once in 4, 5, and 7. Angel appeared once in the first season, twice in the third, and once in the fourth and eight.

I really like the RI cover and the one from the Con.

*Coola Yagami* · 05-15-2012, 10:24 PM

My fave cover is the one with the Purple Dragons... cause holy crap, the Purple Dragons are here too??? The other 2 are just more of the same 'all 4 turtles posing on the cover'. Laird's kinda falls short... it just looks like he drew Shredder, Splinter and Karai in seperate weird random poses... and then cut and pasted them onto a page, however they might fit. I know it's supposed to be some kind of epic arial sword clash between Shredder and Splinter.....not really seeing it....

Toby Barrett · 05-15-2012, 10:31 PM

Those covers are pretty awesome! The solicitation to issue #11 says the Turtles bring in a surprising new ally to storm the Foot Clan lair.

Are the Purple Dragons their surprising new ally? 8p

Vegeta · 05-16-2012, 12:26 AM

That RI cover is beautiful. I love the tmnt with the gargoyle imagery; plus i miss that cartoon. Raphael looks amazing. I wish my local shop carried more variants but I'm too cheap to buy 4 of the same issue anyway for a different picture.

This is actually the first issue where I'm not too psyched about any of the main covers, but I still find myself drawn to the Eastman covers just because it has that old school feel, like you say. I might just go with the RI cover this time! Duncan's cover for this is probably his weakest so far.

I think you mean Eastman's comic-con cover?

I was going by in terms of setting, but I do appreciate the refresher. I haven't seen the middle seasons of either series for some time, so. Thank you.

The Eastman Con cover reminds me of that Simpsons episode, where Homer and Tony Hawk are skating against each other. And then, while they're in the air, they're lounging while their legs and boards are moving about. It's weird, yet awesome at the same time. Same with the cover, apparently.

Or maybe they're fighting on the astral plane. I dunno....

Lampy · 05-16-2012, 05:12 PM

i like kevin's covers more than duncans. you don't see many (if any) covers of the purple dragons. and i'm glad they finally showed up... i was beginning to think they scrapped the purple dragons out of this continuity (i'm still waiting for the utroms, IDW).

1984TMNT · 05-17-2012, 11:42 AM

I'm really digging this version of Shredder (design-wise). I really wish the Nick toon would have gone with this look. It's fresh and new, yet still completely in line with past incarnations.

Also really interested to see who these people are. ANd Angel was never really annoying IMO
Angel>Cody>Zach(Zack)

*Powder* · 05-17-2012, 03:21 PM

I found Angel more annoying then them all, personally. I'd actually put her on the very very small list of hated characters.
I hope she doesn't appear.

corvus · 05-26-2012, 08:21 AM

How is angel comparable to Zach? She's got a totally different personality and if I remember theres only like two episodes where she has a significant roll. And also its worth noting they made Casey a lot younger, so he likely wouldn't have the same relationship with angel. The chick with the purple hair may be angel but I have doubts. I'm also really curious as to who's side they're on or if they're just a different faction.

EDIT: that doesn't really look like angel either. The girl looks Asian. It's hard to say based on one image but it looks like this incarnation of the purple dragons will have a more oriental look as opposed to the punk look in the 2003 cartoon or the normal scumbag look in mirage comics.

SS_Turtle · 05-28-2012, 06:53 PM

Damn now I will have another Con cover to track down once its released.

We can't be friends anymore...unless you explain you logic.

RskimB · 06-17-2012, 01:15 PM

3 Days! Splinter Micro soon too. Love when i'm rolling tmnt media. B Cover wins again!! Duncan's cover is pretty generic.

She was a nice character. Would have loved to see a toy of her. Though, I would probably use it as a purple dragon.

#11 is due out the 27th (although it still appears as TBD on a couple of shipping lists for some reason). Splinter Micro is this week.
