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 [...]
AVENGERS Script “Incredible” says Chris Hemsworth
MTV had the pleasure of meeting up with THOR star Chris Hemsworth at this years Sundance Film Festival and could not resist the urge to talk shop about the AVENGERS film still in early pre-production. Hemsworth couldn’t say much on the highly anticipated project, however, he did say that he thought that the early script [...]
Cover of the Week: Batman Streets of Gotham #19
A delightfully simple representation of the Joker makes it into our COW section this week with style. This is the only DC Comics cover for this month with the white back ground and character logo that I feel has worked. Sure, we have featured a few others, but I have commented on disliking this style [...]

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: 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. [...]

Cover of the Week: New Avengers #7
You know, when I saw that Marvel was going to do TRON variants for some of their titles I tired not to put them in our COW column. I figured the movie would get more than enough publicity. Well, when Mark Brooks is doing the Tron variant for New Avengers #7 it’s hard to pass [...]
Who’s Who? THOR Movie Trailer
Now that the Marvel Studios THOR movie trailer has debuted I have been getting many questions about this lesser known Marvel icon.

The phenomenon that is AMC’s The Walking Dead has come to a season finale and left this fan of the undead craving more than just flesh.

Cover of the Week: Ultimate Comics Avengers 3 #4
One of my favorite artists, Greg Land, returns to our COW section after quite some time has passed. I always enjoy his work. He draws women beautifully and his men always have a commanding presence. It has been a while since we have seen Blade drawn like Wesley Snipes and I think a lot of [...]

What would your favorite Marvel superheroes look like in the grid from TRON? Brandon Peterson gives us a glimpse of what Spider-Woman would look like in this beautiful Avengers #7 variant cover.

Cover of the Week: Avengers: The Childrens Crusade #3
The search for the Scarlet Witch continues in Avengers: The Childrens Crusade #3 and Jimmy Cheung keeps delivering visually stunning covers.

Mike Mayhew returns for a second week in a row with his vampire cover for Deadpool #28. Marvel is doing vampire variant covers this month for most of their titles and Mayhew seems to be the go to guy for this. The piece that he as drawn here is exactly what I would expect from [...]

With the THOR movie set to release Summer 2011, we will probably see more and more of him in our COW column. Here, we have a cover from the great J. Scott Campbell. What fans can always expect from Campbell is the way the he draws women. Most artists pay close attention when it comes [...]
Cover of the Week: Captain America #610
Marko Djurdjevic has definitely become one of the great cover artists of our time. The way that he draws motion on this cover is strikingly moving. The shield upper cut is a move that Steve Rogers has done since World War II and it’s nice to see the new Cap, Bucky Barnes, keep it alive [...]
