The cover to The New York Five #4 by Ryan Kelly, even though it’s my least favorite of the four covers to be released (all were spectacular), is still an easy win this week.
If you guys haven’t been reading The New York Five, I urge you to seek it out, or pick it up in trade if it gets released. Some great stuff by Brian Wood and Ryan Kelly…no surprise there. It’s also a lot of content for a really low price. The issues run about 32 pages, but only $2.99. You can’t beat that!

Any week that The New York Five comes out is a rough week for anyone else to win cover of the week as I am just loving Ryan Kelly’s covers for this series. There’s honestly nothing I haven’t adored about each issue’s cover so far, and issue #3 is one of my favorites, check it out:
Northlanders #38 (The Siege Of Paris: 2) is an easy win for Cover Of The Week this week – with Massimo Carnevale’s gorgeous image that feels both up close and personal, and also epic and battle worthy (check out the city and torchlight in the background). His great use of lights and darks, composition, and color…it’s just beautiful.

I had a lot of pretty good books this week, and some fun covers, but none of them came even close to usurping the crown from Ryan Kelly’s cover for Brian Wood’s The New York Five #2. Just gorgeous, beautiful stuff. In my dreams more comic covers look like this every week.

Easy pick this week if only because my pull list was so slim. So an easy win for iZombie #10 by Mike Allred.
Bonus points for it being based on/inspired by this fantastic photograph as commenter JRSM pointed out a few months ago on Cover Solicits.

I don’t usually go for gross stuff (I’m a bit easily grossed out) but it was slim pickings in my comics this week and so this very cool, but very gross panel from iZombie #9 by Mike Allred takes the win. Ick…but cool.
