Bodycount #3

Two red-masked Ninja Turtles loom large in a gritty urban alleyway as a fierce woman and a wide-eyed man scramble desperately in the foreground — it's a tense, kinetic scene that captures the raw, street-level edge this series brought to mutant mayhem. Signed by Biz in 1994 and published by Image in 1996, Bodycount #3 delivers that distinctly hard-edged take on the Turtles that set this mature-readers miniseries apart from the mainstream.
