Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #2

Dan Duncan's cover for this second chapter of "Change is Constant" puts the whole family front and center — three red-masked Turtles armed with sai and katana surge forward in a tight, aggressive formation, mouths wide open in battle cries, while Splinter looms behind them in his red gi, gripping his walking stick with quiet authority. The earthy, gritty palette and dynamic composition give the group a raw, street-level energy that feels right at home in IDW's 2011 reimagining of the franchise. With Kevin Eastman and Tom Waltz at the helm, this series was already showing it had serious teeth.
