Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #4

Cover artist Rafael Albuquerque sets a haunting, introspective tone with this image of a hooded, cloaked figure — one of the Turtles, purple mask just visible beneath the hood — huddled alone in the corner of a dim stone cell, light filtering through iron bars beside them. It's a striking, quietly powerful image that signals something deeply personal at the heart of this arc. Jason Aaron, Chris Burnham, and Brian Reber continue "Return to New York, Part Four: Grit & A Stick," and if this cover is any indication, issue #4 isn't pulling any punches emotionally.
