First cover of the week is ALL NEW X-MEN #15 featuring Jean Grey and Beast about to have a little kissy-time. This cover was drawn by Stuart Immonen. The best part of this cover is Cyclops in the background. He's probably yelling "NOOOOOOO!" The classic romance cover style here is the main reason it made the list this week. It's vintage!

Next on our best comic covers list is the cover to ACTIVITY #14. Mitch Gerads was the artist for this issue and the cover. All the covers to this series have the same template of the title and logo in the center of the issue, which is very cool. In addition, the perspective here, of a man drowning with an armed gunman above him, is eye catching.

While searching out the best comic covers of the week, some of us (me), search out what Francesco Francavilla has done for the week because his covers are just so captivating. This week, Francesco drew the cover for DARK SHADOWS #19 by Dynamite comics. He always has a way of catching the reader's attention with his covers, and he does it yet again here.

The 4th best cover on our list comes from the new Boom Studios book ROBOCOP: LAST STAND #1. This cover was put together by Declan Shalvey. Maybe it's because so many of us are nostalgic for the old Robocop movie, but seeing Robocop looking as stoic as ever on this cover just put a smile on our face.

DAREDEVIL DARK NIGHTS #3 is the last cover on our list this week, and it's not just because of that wicked awesome icicle beard. This cover was crafted by artist Lee Weeks. Daredevil looks moments away from kicking some major butt here, and I love the color choices be Weeks here. The red really pops off the page because of all the different blue tones in the background.

Well guys, that's it for our picks for this week! Make sure to let us know what your favorite covers for the week were in the comment section below. See you next week guys!
