I'd imagine they would change it eventually; it's gotta be pink, otherwise I'm going to smack the layout designer.

(But hooooly woah, why weren't the glowing eyes on the suit more of a thing? That would have been COOL.)
It absolutely NEEDS to be pink.

If for no other reason that breast cancer awareness.

I mean, even the green of the suit would be a little acceptable.

Pink.

Or even gray.

But not that weird desiccated dog crap color.

I couldn't quite get the hue/saturation editor in Photoshop to get that nice bright bubblegum pink, but this still looks way better.

Spoiler:

I'll see how the lighter pink would look at another time...

(I also tried to make a "Make it pink!" gif from Sleeping Beauty, but with that instead of the dress...it took energy than it was worth.0

Here's a couple of my attempts, although my Photoshop skills aren't that good

I think the problem is that the pink is really close to the Bebop + Rocksteady cover and the olive green is quite close to the Slash cover and naturally a greater variation of colours would make them stand out better.

The thing I tried to stick with was not letting the black lines get too washed out, which is why I ended up with that darker pink (that matches the shading moreso than the tones getting light)

The Bebop and Rocksteady spine is more of a purple, so I think a pink tone would still be manageable, they just have to get the tone to work well with the rest.

Yeah, I have no idea how to separate the black areas out or if it's even possible using just photoshop.
The thought occurs that they might not want to use a straight up pink for marketing reasons, ie: customers might not want to buy it not realising it's part of the series or (heaven forfend) for fear of having something so girly looking on their shelves (I know, I know. It's 2019 and the use of a particular colour shouldn't get peoples panties in a bunch, but what can we do?)

I was thinking the same thing.

I feel like anyone displaying this book in a brick-n-mortar shop, though, is gonna have it cover facing OUT. With ye evil little pink squishy thing glaring out at buyers.

But whatever. Cat puke green it is! I'll still buy the damn thing.

You're probably right and yeah I'll get it whatever colour it releases in. (I've also updated my avatar to show it alongside Slash.)

Ya know one thing that bugs me about the covers?

How much bigger Raph's head is on the cover compared to everyone else. Am I the only one to notice that?

Little things. I'm nitpicky.

I guess it's because he's a lot closer in frame and is holding at a different angle?

Well it was the first volume and there are pics around that show some of the prototype versions of the cover which framed him much worse in my opinion:

Volume 2 also had a brown coloured Splinter originally:

So late in the day changes aren't unheard of.

They might as well just make a release every other month if they keep delaying like this

I dunno, hot pink was pretty popular with every kid in late 80s early 90s merch

Shredder in Hell must have a lot of behind the scenes problems. I can't recall any other IDW TMNT comic delayed this much between issues.

I don't think it's a "problem" really, I think it's more likely just due to Santolouco's detail-oriented style taking a lot of time to do well

Quality is worth the wait
