Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Microseries #1

IDW's TMNT Micro-Series kicks off in 2011 with a spotlight on Raphael, and David Petersen's cover sets the mood perfectly — the red-masked turtle crouches atop an ornate stone parapet, sai in hand, with a moody purple-tinged New York City skyline stretching out behind him. It's a brooding, atmospheric image that captures Raph's lone-wolf intensity with real weight and craft. Writer Brian Lynch and artist Franco Urru take the reins for the interior, promising a focused, character-driven story worthy of the most hot-headed Turtle.
