Fatale #14 by Sean Phillips Why did it have to be toothy Cthulu faces? I hate toothy Cthulu faces! The eerie use of black and white works quite well with this cover, followed by the stunning red center drawing attention to our femme fatale. She’s got her Chicago Typewriter prepped and ready for action. Judging [...]

Astonishing X-Men #62 by Phil Noto You’re as cold as ice, willing to sacrifice your…looks? With all these younger versions of themselves bouncing around, it was only a matter of time before we started getting covers like this one. However this being Noto, it’s going to make for a damn good compare/contrast. Spiky hair (err, [...]

Hawkeye #10 by Francesco Francavilla Orange you glad Francavilla illustrated this cover? Simple, yet effective. One might say this cover is a total (*puts on shades*) bullseye.   Mister X: Eviction #1 by Dean Motter I’m always a fan of unique architecture, and just looking at this cover I have the feeling that Motter is [...]

Batwoman #19 by Trevor McCarthy These gatefold covers have been pretty disappointing for the most part, but every week I’m able to find a gem that shines through the muck. This week, it goes to Trevor McCarthy for this hauntingly beautiful decomposition of Batwoman. She is no longer a hero, no longer a woman; she [...]

“Your efforts to remain what you are is what limits you.” -Project 2501, Ghost in the Shell When it comes to the subject of race, science fiction has something of a split personality. At its core, it’s a genre that’s all about challenging accepted social orders. Subjects such as racism and prejudice were common place [...]

Fairest #14 by Adam Hughes Normally when Hughes illustrates a cover for this series, we get some pretty-yet-sexy damsel in a seductive pose of sorts. With this cover, it’s the simplicity that makes it sexy, for it leaves a lot to the imagination regarding this little woodland nymph. Doing what ivy does best, it completely [...]

Glory #33 by Ross Campbell I’m going to miss this series terribly. Month after month Campbell would blow me away with covers like this one, constantly making me smile and whisper “wow!” as I prepared myself for some awesome action waiting for me on the following pages.
