Cover of the Week – 7/13/11

July 14, 2011 in art, artists, comics, marvel comics | 1 comment

Easy win for this week from Stephanie Hans.  Stephanie Hans has been doing awesome things with the Journey Into Mystery covers, but one for issue #625 is my favorite one yet.  Her use of color here is just inspired.  Though I usually prefer to put up the final cover, complete with titles etc., as I generally consider that “part of the cover” for good or ill, I’m putting up the “preview cover” as I can’t bear to show it with that hideous (and massive) “Fear Itself” banner.

Look at the gorgeousness!!!

Panel of the Week – 7/6/11

July 10, 2011 in art, artists, comics | Permalink

Also from Green Wake #4 and the sublimely talented Riley Rossmo, is this week’s panel of the week.  I adore this panel.  In fact, I call it the perfect comic panel in my review of Green Wake #4 on CBR this week thanks to its exceptional merging of image and words toward a stronger more powerful whole.

Easy win this week for this sublime cover for Green Wake #4 by Riley Rossmo.

Read this book folks, it’s awesome, and looks at least as good inside as out.

Panel Of The Week – 6/29/11

Really simple, beautiful, powerful stuff from Charlie Adlard and Cliff Rathburn in this week’s The Walking Dead #86.  This was my favorite, but there were many good moments.

Not my favorite cover of Charlie Adlard and Cliff Rathburn’s for The Walking Dead, but a solid one nonetheless, plus one always gets points for MICHONNE!

An easy win this week for this cover by Dustin Nguyen for Gates of Gotham #2. Gorgeous!

Bonus points for Cass Cain being on the next Gates of Gotham Nguyen cover (below).  I hate that silly cape – I mean, capes are silly anyway, but look awesome so we let it go – so when a cape is both extra silly and looks like crap…what’s the point? –  anyway, everything else about this cover is awesome:

Cover Of The Week – 6/15/11

June 16, 2011 in art, artists, comics | Permalink

A tie this week between two great offerings from DC, first up…

Flashpoint: Deadman & The Flying Graysons #1 by Cliff Chiang and Jared Fletcher.  I kinda doubt I’m going to love the issue itself, but the cover is GORG.

Second, a gorgeous Supergirl #65 by Mahmud Asrar and Guy Major.  I miss Amy Reeder on these, but this is a great consolation prize.  I wish we could have it with the title, but without the hideous Green Lantern ad bar (so ugly).  It’s great work though – wonderful composition, rendering of Supergirl, darks and lights…really fantastic stuff.
