TMNT Adventures, Vol. 2 TPB (IDW)

Matches Malone · 07-02-2012, 12:08 PM

For those who are interested, I stumbled upon the new cover art for the TMNT Adventures Vol. 2 cover art, very much in the same vein as Vol. 1's artwork. The Lawsonisms are even more apparent in this one!

It's cool to see Lawson's newest interpretations of characters he first drew nearly two decades ago in a completely different style.

Goes to prove that we were all probably right that the other one was drawn by Jim and colored by Steve.

I still like to think Steve Lavigne just decided one day: "Hey, I think I wanna try to draw like Jim!"

**Jester** · 07-02-2012, 12:50 PM

I'm wondering now...was the reference to Lavigne specific to the covers, or did he work on the interiors of any of the first few Archie books?

*Spitfire* · 07-02-2012, 03:33 PM

Awesome! I find it weird their skin is colored like the 2K3 turtles and not like they are in the book. Still great to see Lawson doing TMNT art again.

*CyberCubed* · 07-02-2012, 03:40 PM

Whoever is coloring these is doing a horrible job. The Turtles do NOT have brown arm and leg bands in Archie, and their belts are colored incorrectly. Different shades of green for the turtles is also wrong.

Lawson's art is fine but he really isn't a good fit for the Archie universe. I never liked the issues he drew either.

*Spitfire* · 07-02-2012, 05:04 PM

I just noticed Cryin Hound only has 2 arms.

Toby Barrett · 07-02-2012, 05:37 PM

That we can see at any rate.

Oh, Jim... why couldn't you remember what he looked like?!?

**Jester** · 07-02-2012, 06:00 PM

Where he's positioned, it's hard to tell.

Killer Moth · 07-02-2012, 06:26 PM

Can anyone explain what Lawson was going for with Wingnut? Way too freaky than need be. (Though, it may bode well, if he draws the next TPB with Wyrm, Scumbug and, of course, the Rat King.) And Man Ray has a weird frog face, too. On the other hand, his Leatherhead isn't too shabby.

I like the positions, the "Oh, crap" looks on the Turtles and the general theme the art goes for. Better luck, next time?

*Powder* · 07-02-2012, 06:40 PM

I looooooooooooove this cover! I never did see the first one though, could someone link it (in the best possible quality)?
Same for this one, I'd love hi-res versions of the two covers if they're available. Rich, got 'em?

I can see his left side. He might have combined them or drawn his arm really big for some reason.

That second cover is neat. I never saw that. How come that was never used?

Oh wow, thanks. That's stellar!

In case anybody didn't know, that Volume 2 cover that is posted on Amazon allows you to zoom in and see some fairly high res details.

A much better cover, and rather creepy. Except, why are Shredder's eyes glowing red? It works, despite it looking like he's a robot or he's a demon.

But, mostly, it reminds me of this:

Aw man that looks so cool! If I didn't already own every issue of the Archie series, I would so pick this up!

Grimlock · 07-04-2012, 08:07 PM

Any one got a Hi-res scan of that cover?
