Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Macro-Series #2

Dedicated entirely to Michelangelo, this 2018 IDW oversized one-shot puts the fun-loving turtle in a surprisingly weathered, contemplative light — cover artist David Petersen renders him road-worn and bandaged, perched on a wooden scaffold beside a massive wagon wheel, a traveler's bundle slung over his shoulder and a walking staff in hand against a dusty frontier backdrop. It's a striking, almost storybook image that hints at a more personal, introspective journey for the orange-masked turtle. Writer Ian Flynn and artist Michael Dialynas bring their talents to bear on what promises to be a thoughtful spotlight for one of comics' most beloved characters.
