Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #2

This IDW collection gathers more of the gritty, independent-spirited TMNT storytelling that Eastman and Laird built their reputation on, presented here as Volume 2 in a handsome trade format. The stark, minimalist cover — bold lettering emerging from deep black shadows — gives the package a moody, almost noir sensibility that suits the Turtles' underground origins perfectly. At $19.99, it's a satisfying way to dig deeper into this corner of the TMNT universe.
