Chris Burnham draws the prelude in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Alpha #1, leading into the Jason Aaron-written series.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles enters a new era in July when IDW Publishing ships the first issue of its relaunched Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ongoing series, written by Jason Aaron. However, Ninja Turtles fans can get their first taste of Aaron's take on Turtles in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Alpha #1 in June.
When ComicBook.com spoke to Aaron in February, the writer expressed a desire to return to the"grit" of those early Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles issues that creators Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird wrote, drew, and self-published through their company, Mirage Studios. For Burnham, that means infusing his work with what he remembers of those early TMNT comics without direct references.
"I was looking at what does it look like when a person is using a bow staff," Burnham says."And most of the guys you see are real skinny dudes, but a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, just by their nature, has a big giant shell on their back. So, when they're spinning the bow around, it's not going to work the way it works on a skinny dude. Sammo Hung is amazing with a bow staff, and he's a pretty portly dude.
"But yet, it is a challenge. How does it work? A lot of people draw the turtles as basically a Jim Lee drawing. I don't know if he's got a backpack on, and instead of a six-pack abs, they draw a six-pack shell on the front. That looks like a dude. I'm trying to make it look like a weird, cute little monster who happens to be good at karate, or whatever."
