Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #145

Donatello takes center stage on this striking Cover A for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #145, his bo staff crackling with wild pink energy as jagged dark shapes loom ominously behind him — the tension practically radiates off the page. It's a fittingly charged image to kick off "First, Last, Always, Part 1," a new story arc from writers Kevin Eastman and Sophie Campbell with interior art by Vincenzo Federici, whose cover work here showcases the same confident linework and Ronda Pattison's moody, atmospheric color palette. A solid entry point for anyone following IDW's long-running TMNT saga.
