Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Battle Nexus #2

The cover of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Battle Nexus #2 says it all — Leonardo, twin ninjato in hand and battle-worn, locks in a fierce grapple with the armored Shredder against a backdrop of towering, fire-lit structures, with blood and intensity evident on both combatants. Cover artist Ben Bishop brings real weight and physicality to this clash, making the matchup feel genuinely hard-fought rather than simply spectacular. With a deep creative bench including writers Paul Allor, Tom Waltz, Sophie Campbell, and more, alongside colorist Luis Antonio Delgado's warm, golden palette, this 2026 IDW release looks like a treat for anyone who loves their turtle action with some serious stakes.
