Hello ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to another week of "Best Comic Book Covers of the Week" where we choose the best comic book covers of the week. Geez, that's really redundant. Oh well. The staff picked a whole bunch of super cool looking covers, and we narrowed it down to five. Let's get this started.
First up, we have the cover to MIND THE GAP #12. This eye catching cover, featuring pieces of the cast's face, was drawn by the very talented Rodin Esquejo. Robdin's color work, as well as design here, are beautiful. It's a very smooth and realistic feeling cover.
It's hard to believe that WALKING DEAD is already at issue #113. It seems like just yesterday it was hovering around #50. This week's cover has a really cool perspective and features Andrea, holding a gun in a tower. As always, it was drawn by Charlie Adlard. It has everything I love about covers: guns, towers, and mobs with guns.
This next issue was picked out simply because I have a thing for Becky Cloonan's art. This issue is THE TRUE LIVES OF THE FABULOUS KILLJOYS #3. The color work really stands out here, and Cloonan's art style makes for a really captivating cover, especially with so much negative space here.
Sneak attack hug or has Iceman locked Thor into the Million Dollar Dream? Either way, we loved the cover to ASTONISHING X-MEN #65 this week, which was drawn by Phil Noto. It's a very cool cover, and we're not just saying that because of all the ice. Get it?
Last, but not least, we have the cover for UNCANNY X-FORCE #10. This cover really wants to make your brain scream, and it was drawn by Kris Anka. Frankly, any time Puck appears on the cover of a comic book, it has to go on this list. That's a law, right? The contrasting styles on this issue are what really grabbed us here at CV.
Well, there's another week of the best comic book covers under our belt! What do you guys like? Do you disagree? Let us know in the comment section!
