IDW TMNT #15 Cover & Synopsis

*Donnie* · 07-24-2012, 12:54 AM

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

Quote:

"(W) Tom Waltz, Kevin Eastman (A) Andy Kuhn (CA) Kevin Eastman, Andy Kuhn
Something has escaped Stockgen labs and is hunting the Turtles. Its unrelenting and deadly force compel the Turtles to question how far they'll go to defend themselves... and stretch the brothers' bonds to the limit! "

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.

*Powder* · 07-24-2012, 03:13 AM

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.

*Zulithe* · 07-24-2012, 04:42 AM

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.

There's a possibility it was 16's cover but I'm pretty positive he said it was a variant for 15.

*Raven* · 07-24-2012, 04:56 PM

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.

*CyberCubed* · 07-24-2012, 07:51 PM

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!

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.

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".
