Breath of Bones: A Tale of the Golem #3 by Dave Wachter Clayface wishes he was this cool looking! The glorious coloring and texture of the golem front and center really allows the audience to observe every rock, root, and detail as it plays off the black and white background. Just look at the size […]

The Manhattan Projects #13 by Jonathan Hickman Glad to know that several pairs of Vans checkered slip-ons were recycled into making this cover. It’s not entirely checkered, which makes the overall design that much more intriguing and appealing. Is there a pattern, or is it all just random? If there is a method to Hickman’s […]

2000AD Prog 1843 by Carl Critchlow I just love the annoyed look on Dredd’s face, as if being pulled-under by giant tentacles is a regular occurrence for him. He’ll dive in begrudgingly, but he can’t deal with the situation for too long because Project Runway is on at 9 and he forgot to record it. […]

Red Hood and the Outlaws #22 by Guillem March Ah yes, the classic Yin-Yang pose with an added dash of sex appeal. I enjoy Starfire’s painted hair style, for the flames really blend well together as she propels upwards. The shine on her outfit also works very well, for its sleek and reflective properties really […]

Batgirl #22 by Alex Garner B-but, Batgirl doesn’t kill! Right? Everything I thought I knew is a lie!!! All red herrings aside, I enjoyed this cover immensely thanks to Garner’s radical-looking painted style. The armor and bat gauntlets are incredibly vibrant, and the bloody outline of the body doesn’t bode well for someone in this […]

Hawkeye #11 by David Aja Now either this dog is a stone-blooded killer, or he just accidentally walked through some raspberry jam. Having a Labrador myself, I would not be surprised whatsoever if it was explanation number two. Again with Aja, it’s the simple things that really speak volumes when illustrating a cover with little […]

100 Bullets: Brother Lono #1 by Dave Johnson ¡Ay, caramba! Such a delightfully pulpy cover by the Reverend Dave Johnson. While his covers are frequently featured here, it looks like he really took his time illustrating this cover in particular. Just look at Brother Lono’s face; it’s definitely seen some action. The floating hypnotic skull […]

Six-Gun Gorilla #1 by Ramón Pérez Nothing more intriguing than a gigantic gorilla wielding some humongous guns, launching itself at the reader. Pérez’s zany style works well for such an interesting concept, for with the beginning of a new series the best angle to go with is the unexpected. Mammals and firearms should never mix, […]

The Fearless Defenders #5 by Mark Brooks Ah, this cover brings back some awesome memories from my childhood. Arriving over at Paolo’s house on the weekends, putting in Street Fighter, and playing for the rest of the day. Since I wasn’t very good, I would always play as Blanco and try my best to electrocute […]

Clive Barker’s New Testament #1 by Goñi Montes The colors! Look at all the beautiful colors! It’s like Joseph and his amazing technicolor dream coat suddenly exploded after being zapped by a few proton guns, with this cover being the end result. I really do enjoy the psychedelic mash-up look that Montes has illustrated for […]
