Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Universe #2

Freddie Williams II frames all four Turtles in a gripping composition for this second issue of IDW's TMNT Universe — Leonardo and Donatello loom large in the foreground while Raphael and Michelangelo flank the edges, the four of them surrounding a chaotic urban battleground where armored soldiers advance under helicopter searchlights. The sense of scale is genuinely impressive, with a crumbling cityscape stretching between the brothers and hinting at the large-scale conflict suggested by the story's title, "The War to Come, Part 2." Paul Allor and Damian Couceiro carry the interior, making this an early chapter in what promises to be one of the more ambitious stories in IDW's expansive Turtles lineup.
