Marvel is doing some X-Men inspired variants this month and getting ready for the release of X-Men: First Class. Even though we will not get to see all of our favorite team members in the film, we are getting to see them in these “through the years” style variant covers. Friends of mine know exactly [...]

Cover of the Week: Daken Dark Wolverine #9
Giuseppe Camuncoli brings his serious skills to our COW column with this great cover for Daken Dark Wolverine #9. It was only a matter of time before Wolverine’s son and clone would meet claw to claw and the outcome did not disappoint. Camuncoli draws a very aggressive portrait for the reader with this piece [...]
Cover of the Week: FF #2
This is an interesting choice for our COW selection because I am not a fan of artist Daniel Acuna. I know that sounds weird, but it’s true. It’s not that I think that he is bad, I’m just not a fan of his style. That said, I really enjoyed this cover for FF #2 [...]
Cover of the Week: Green Lantern Corps #59
Tyler Kirkham gives us a look into the future of Green Lantern. Hal Jordan, Kyle Rayner, Guy Gardner, and John Stewart have new looks in this issue of Green Lantern Corps that will raise some questions for fans. War of the Green Lanterns is the story line that is also continuing in regular Green Lantern [...]
Cover of the Week: Amazing Spider-Man #658
Stefano Caselli brings it hard with this cover for Amazing Spider-Man #658. I think that this new costume of Spider-Man’s could be really tough as a black and white ensemble, but Caselli has made it dynamic. The shadowing paired with that crazy design in the background really work. I’m interested in how future covers can [...]
Cover of the Week: Fear Itself #1
Stuart Immonen delivers us an updated look at a classic grouping of Marvel Comics big three. Iron Man, Thor and Steve Rogers are done well here, yet very simply. Even with Steve Rogers not in his Captain America uniform you know that you’re in for a fight. This really does look like a very [...]
Cover of the Week: Deadpool Team-Up #883
Skottie Young has been doing great covers for Marvel for the last few years. Most notably for Marvel’s Oz series. But every now and again he does something with a cover that is playful and fun. This piece really hearkens back to my youth, however, not that it reminds me of Deadpool, but of The [...]
Cover of the Week: Batman: The Dark Knight #2
David Finch has become a regular in our COW column and with his cover to Batman: The Dark Knight #2 he just continues to build upon his legacy. To date, this may be one of my favorite of Finch’s pieces. Many of his covers tend to showcase just how awesome dark, shadowy pictures can be. [...]
Cover of the Week: Brightest Day #22
Brightest Day #22 has such a great look to it. If I didn’t know what was going on in the series, I would still be terrified at what I am seeing on the cover. Ivan Reis draws the horrific Deathstorm clutching a White Lantern and with that death smile and the black smoke you know [...]
Cover of the Week: Superboy #5
Eddy Barrows and J.P. Mayer give us an oldie, but goodie re-imagined with this cover for Superboy #5. The classic Superman races the Flash is revisited for the next generation here as Superboy and Kid Flash race for charity like their mentors. This is something that Teen Titans fans have wanted to see for a [...]
Cover of the Week: Green Lantern #63
I have a feeling that with the GREEN LANTERN movie coming up this summer that you all may start seeing more and more GL related covers. Gene Ha pencils this great cover with Krona “The Mad Guardian” sporting a predecessor to the Green Lantern power rings which is a powerful gauntlet of Will. I love [...]
Cover of the Week: Gotham City Sirens #20 Plus What The?
GUILLEM MARCH draws this happy image of what looks to be Harley Quinn in the clutches of her dubious puddin’ the Joker. Harley has been trying to live the cleaner life without ol’ Mr. J. but it looks like she may be having a relapse. Maybe she can hang out with Charlie Sheen in rehab [...]
THE LEGEND OF ZELDA’s Legendary Fan Art
Japanese artist Ag+ has painted an amazing piece of art that is very detailed and uses elements from almost every Zelda game. It’s simply amazing! And it couldn’t have been finished at a better time, February 21st was the 25th anniversary of the epic series. Now, take your time and scroll down the very long [...]
Cover of the Week: Let Me In: Crossroads #3
Sean Phillips draws this cover for fans of the film Let Me In with the prequel comic book Let Me In: Crossroads. It looks like Abby and her caretaker are having some good ol’ fashioned fun on the farm on this cover. I love how eerily calm the two of them look, it’s very creepy. [...]
Cover of the Week: Deadpool & Cable #26
The Merc with a Mouth does his best impression of his ol’ buddy Cable on this cover for Deadpool & Cable #26. In the issue Deadpool is paying his last respects to his departed friend and how better to do that than dress in some of his old clothes? Dave Wilkins helps put Wade here [...]
Cover of the Week: God of War #6 Plus a Bonus
Well, this may be a first time in our COW column that a comic book based on a video game has made our selection. Honestly, I haven’t been reading the God of War comic, but I could not ignore how great this cover came out. Andy Park brings his talents to issue #6 of the [...]
Cover of the Week: Birds of Prey #8
The “Artgerm” has created another piece that I am wild about. I really fell in love with Stanley Lau’s art on his BATGIRL run and I have featured some of that work in the past. His females are done so well, but I don’t think that I have ever seen him draw a male? I [...]
Cover of the Week: Vampirella #2
I really love it when I find a new cover artist for our COW column. I do have my favorites, but when the chance comes to get some new blood it really gets me going. Lucio Parrillo enters the Cover of the Week guns a blazing with this beautiful piece from Vampirella #2. Dynamite Entertainment [...]
Cover of the Week: Green Arrow #7
MAURO CASCIOLI is back in our COW column with another great cover for Green Arrow. His attention to detail is a huge high point for me. I love the “Lady of the Lake” feel to this cover. I would have liked it if the woman’s hair was not in her face as much because it [...]
Cover of the Week: Batman #705
It looks like Batman has seen better days on this cover for issue #705. Tony Daniel is a rare bird in the industry because he both writes and pencils this series. It’s one thing to tell a good story, but to then put the extreme detail that he does onto the page is very impressive. [...]
