Nobody draws Wolverine better than Chris Bachalo, that alone is enough to merit a cover of the week for Wolverine & The X-Men #1:

Amazing David Aja alternate cover for Secret Avengers #18:

Ryan Sook has been killing these DC Universe Presents covers with Deadman and issue #2 is no exception. In truth I liked it better when the background was more graphic and less detailed, but it’s still great:

Cliff Chiang continues to bring it with Diana on these Wonder Woman covers with issue #2:

I also really like this Daniel Acuna Avengers #18…but I’m a bit of a sucker for the idea of Captain America going through a bunch of headshots to choose his new Avengers team. Bonus points for Rogue being considered. How far we’ve come my girl, how far we’ve come! Course we all know it’s going to be Storm, but points for being on the table!

Is there anything that can beat the perfect simplicity of Kate Beaton’s Napoleon from the cover of Hark! A Vagrant? No, no there’s not.

Also, did you guys check out my CBR Review of the collection? No? Do so now!

But since I don’t usually consider graphic novels, trades, and collections for this feature…

Chris Brunner and Rico Renzi’s gorgeous Static Shock #2. Wonderful color work, composition and movement:

Also, this offering from Stormwatch #2 (much superior to what was originally solicited) by Miguel Sepulveda and Alex Sinclair is pretty awesome. Giant eye with tentacles? YES.

A few gems from this week…

Cliff Chiang’s Wonder Woman #1

And how about this cover, which was an early version by Cliff Chiang that wasn’t used, I like EVEN BETTER. I mean…Wonder Woman with an awesome battle ax?! YES.

This is a great illustration for Legion of Super-Heroes #1, and a great example of how to do “floating figures” well…by integrating them into the design so that they’re not actually floating.

Marcos Martin continues to absolutely kill these Daredevil covers.

I don’t know if there were really that many great covers this week, or if I’m just feeling indecisive…but I have a bunch this week. Ironically in DC’s big first “52” week, only one of their covers makes my list:

Wolverine: Debt of Death by David Aja and Elizabeth Breitweizer:
