Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Villains Micro-Series #8

The Shredder commands the cover of this 2013 IDW spotlight issue, seated on an ornate, demon-headed throne with bladed armor and a flowing crimson cape — every inch the imperious warlord of the Foot Clan. Tyler Walpole's cover art renders him in brooding, atmospheric detail, the sickly green background lending the composition a genuinely unsettling sense of menace. Part of IDW's Villains Micro-Series, this issue hands the full focus to one of the TMNT universe's most formidable antagonists, with writing by Paul Allor and Dan Duncan and colors by Ian Herring bringing the interior to life.
