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 [...]

2000AD Prog 1833 by Glenn Fabry An absolutely beautiful cover from Fabry to start things off this week. Cadet Anderson’s hair blowing in the wind is so sexy, even when that’s not her intent. The use of reds, the shadowing in the face, the wrinkled aged leather in her uniform all play vital parts in [...]

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 [...]

Dark Horse Presents #23 by Dave Johnson There’s two sides to every brass knuckles; before and after. Before consists of bliss, as in blissfully unaware of the pain you’re about to feel. After consists of blood and that searing pain you never knew existed. That’s what I take away from Johnson’s rendition of Bloodhound, for [...]

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 [...]
