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 Emerald Warriors #7 Plus What The?
RODOLFO MIGLIARI depicts one of Fanboy Jeffs most feared situations and it’s not dinner with the in-laws. “Why did it have to be snakes?” The line made famous by Indiana Jones seems to be the way that our heroic Green Lanterns are feeling right at this moment. Migliari pulls all the stops in creating this [...]
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: 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: 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. [...]
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 [...]
Cover of the Week: Avengers #7 TRON Variant
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. I’m not sure what the full story for TRON LEGACY will be, but I do know that it would end different with some [...]
Cover of the Week: Taskmaster #3
This weeks COW had me laughing right when I saw it. I looked at it and said right away that this would be my Cover of the Week. The Taskmaster shows his face for the first time in our COW column with this Francesco Mattina cover. Usually when Mattina graces our page it is for [...]
Cover of the Week: X-Men #4 and Invincible Iron Man #31
October is vampire month for Marvel Comics and a slew of variant covers are showcasing just that. It has been quite a while since we have featured two covers in our COW column, but these stood out among the others. First up, we have X-Men #4 which is a series right now that is currently [...]
