Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin #4

The penultimate chapter of this haunting miniseries arrives with a cover that speaks volumes without a single word — a battered, blood-soaked turtle kneels in quiet exhaustion, the weapons of his fallen brothers laid out before him like relics of a life already lost. Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird's creation has never looked this weary or this human, and the golden, smoky atmosphere surrounding that lone figure makes the grief feel almost tangible. If you've been following this dark, elegiac farewell to the TMNT mythology, issue four of The Last Ronin is an unmissable entry in the saga.
