Captain America #615 by Marko Djurdjevic

With Captain America on trial, this cover is extremely fitting. It shows Bucky’s struggle with which part of himself to identify with, and how to go about in doing his duty as Captain America. Stand for truth, justice, and all that jazz, or fight against injustice at any means necessary? Again, very fitting cover reflecting the current arc.

Morning Glories #7 by Rodin Esqueljo

So what if I just happen to like cheerleaders? Is that so wrong? It’s not their fault they’re so flexible. Anyways, with the comic fans cheering about this new series, it only seems fitting to have the characters cheering right back at them. Okay, that’s not the reason by a long shot, but the cover does look very nice with the combination of the cheerleader and her big…pom-poms, and the old school action dots surrounding her. Good series, good cover, enough said.

Metalocalypse: Dethklok #3 by Eric Powell

Oh Eric Powell, this definitely was the perfect collaboration for you. Same look, same dark humor as The Goon, illustrating the Dethklok covers with your style was a match made in hell. Here you have Dr. Rockzo the Rock-N-Roll Clown (he does c-c-c-cocaine), about to dive-in nose first to a mountain of cocaine so large, the last time I saw that much was at Charlie Sheen’s bachelor party. For fans of the [adult swim] show, this mini-series has been both hysterical and enjoyable every issue. Covers like this one is just the icing on the cake.

The Amazing Spider-Man #655 by Marcos Martin

It’s the simple covers with minimal details that really make you pay attention. Take this Marcos Martin cover for instance; we see Spidey feeling defeated, and in the center of a web of trouble perhaps caused by him. The blacks and reds of his costume reversed not only look cool, but send the message of something not being okay. This almost looks like something Tim Sale might have done, but if you have a closer look, it’s obviously another Martin masterpiece.

Detective Comics #874 by Francesco Francavilla

Without question, Francesco Francavilla is quickly ascending in the ranks as my new favorite artist of the year. Every cover, every issue featuring his glorious interior art, and I’m left speechless. His pulpy feel sells the covers and characters well, giving you a gloomy, yet suspenseful feeling. And the way he plays with the shades of colors on this cover in particular is just fantastic! Give me more Francavilla Batman, DC. I demand this of you.
