The 1st 2 look amazing! (Still not on board with Kuhn)

LeoNerdo · 11-01-2012, 07:21 PM

Man I can't wait to see Bates' work inside the covers!

I THOUGHT that's who was picking up but I wasn't sure. Yeah if thats all him then I am in for his turtles....looks good.

FearlessLeader · 11-01-2012, 07:23 PM

Wow one of the few times I prefer the cover Eastman didn't do!

**Venom** · 11-01-2012, 07:27 PM

Oh wow, Bates's cover is amazing! :wow:

Wonder if Zak, Dask, and Cala are making their official debut or if they're on there for the sake of familiarity?

Kevin's cover makes me curious to know what Chet/Honeycutt/Fugitoid and April are discussing?

Matches Malone · 11-01-2012, 07:32 PM

Oh man, BB 2012! Let's hope his interiors are as good as his covers!

Eastman's cover is interesting. It looks like April sitting with Chet. Looks like the 'Toid is about to make his reveal in this issue!

*oldmanwinters* · 11-01-2012, 08:07 PM

Gwahh!!! I'm in love with Cover A. Michelangelo is striking his classic "Let's Rock" pose from "Turtle Tracks" while the turtles are facing off against what looks to be a more twisted interpretation of Zak, Dask, and Kala!

I'm surprised at how each of the variants seems to portray a remarkably different subject too. Are the TMNT & Casey trying to set a trap for Chet using April as the hook?

Regarding Cover A:

"Hold the phone, I (don't) think we're on the same side!"

Bye bye, joke. Great minds, they say.

*CyberCubed* · 11-01-2012, 08:51 PM

I am surprised they look almost exactly the same as their OT designs. We've never had that for any other character.

Krang's android body looks nothing like his OT one, and both Traag and Granitor look very different as well. Very surprised here.

Bebop and Rocksteady look very similar.

Didn't people think the two Neutrinos Krang killed in #14 were Zak and Dusk? I guess they weren't.

I was thinking that myself. It is possible that the cover is more of a teaser than an accurate reflection as to which Neutrinos might tangle with the Turtles in the actual issue, however.

*pannoni1* · 11-01-2012, 09:20 PM

To me, that blank spot towards the bottom of Kuhn's just doesn't work for me, but Covers A and B rock! But cover A signifies that the Neutrinos are going to turn against the Turtles at some point since they wouldn't all be fighting each other. Surprised though how close Krang itself looks to Fred Wolf's. I hope its good since this will be released around Christmas, which is a great time to build many plots!

Maybe, but I can't think of a single primary cover of IDW that didn't reflect what happened in the books. I doubt they would take the trouble to draw them exactly as they were portrayed in the OT if they weren't going to use them

Metropoliskid41 · 11-01-2012, 09:43 PM

Those are fantastic covers, I love all 3 of them, and wow can't wait to see Bates interior work, his covers look amazing.

Matches Malone · 11-01-2012, 10:11 PM

Just goes to show that an artist can make all the difference, especially in a TMNT book! I wasn't really on board with Neutrinos, but if they look like that in the book, I'm sold!

The first three didnt reall reflect the interior plot. But then again... It was the first three issues to introduce the turtles in a long time.

Im actually loving all the covers... Khun's cover being the least. But still a good krang cover. I guess I agree with pannoni in that his covers are so plain-looking with the simple backgrounds. Bates' cover is straight up awesome and I'm loving every part of it. It's so lively. And Eastman's cover isn't my favorite but it's still really cool. Guess I have to pick up a and b again.

Matches is right... the neutrinos look crazy awesome in bates' cover. Far from what the neutrinos looked like in the fugitoid micro. They look so different like they they're from different races. I guess being in a rebel faction requires cool-looking armor.

*Panda_Kahn_fan* · 11-01-2012, 10:30 PM

YES! THEY'RE BACK! Ever since the Neutrinos were mentioned, I was hoping those three would show up! I wonder if Mikey and Kala will have an attraction...
