Welcome to another edition of Best Comic Book Covers of the Week! Every Friday, the staff at Comic Vine takes a look at all the comics that came out on Wednesday and decides which covers were the coolest. This week was an insane week. Before we made a few small cuts, the original list was 11 covers long. So get ready for a longer than usual best covers list!
HARLEY QUINN #2 by Amanda Conner
To kick off a huge week of covers is HARLEY QUINN #2 by Amanda Conner. This is one adorable cover as Harley curls up with some fluffy friends, all of which are covered in blood. Personally, I like the pug and the turtle the best.
ALL NEW INVADERS #1 by John Cassaday
Next up is ALL NEW INVADERS #1 by John Cassaday. The art isn't necessarily what won us over here. The page layout, forever, is fantastic. We really like seeing the Invaders of old behind where these characters are now.
ORIGIN II #2 by Adam Kubert
Here we have ORIGIN II #2 by Adam Kubert. This cover gives us an extreme close-up on Victor Creed, and while to overall art looks fantastic, look at that beard hair. It's the tiny details which really make this cover stand out.
ALL NEW X-FACTOR #2 by J Scott Campbell
The next cover on our list is ALL NEW X-FACTOR #2 by J Scott Campbell. This is a really fun cover. We get to see the whole team, the color really makes it pop, and there's a giant "X" on it. What more could you want from an X-title?
DEADLY CLASS #1 by Wes Craig
DEADLY CLASS #1 came out this week with a whole bunch of covers from some amazing artists. This was one of our favorites, but Wes Craig and Lee Loughridge. The overall cover has a great set-up, and it's just a very hip piece of art.
BATMAN #27 by Greg Capullo
From your darkest nightmares comes the cover of BATMAN #27 by Greg Capullo. The background here is really cool, especially with how Capullo shaded it. The actual depiction of Batman here or Dr. Death as Batman, will keep me up for weeks.
BATWOMAN #27 by Stephane Roux
Ahh! Spiders! Well, that's what I'd be shouting if I was Batwoman on the cover of BATWOMAN #27 by Stephane Roux. The layout of this cover is awesome, but what really caught our attention was how amazing the lighting and shadow work looks on the background.
FF #16 by Mike Allred
All good things must come to an end. While I hate that saying, I also hate this book ending. Here's FF #16 by Mike Allred. His style is just so cool and Laura's colors look fantastic. It's great to see his art and this team on a cover for another month.
Black Widow #2 by Frank Cho
Originally, Phil Noto's cover was on this list until we saw this variant by Frank Cho for Black Widow #2. This cover is insane. Look at all that line work! This is one of the coolest and craziest Frank Cho covers yet! Everything about it is extremely rad. Yep, I said "rad."
We'll see you guys next week! As always, if there's a cover you think we missed out on, put it in the comment section.
