Another great cover for the Hellboy: The Fury series. This cover for Hellboy: The Fury #3 by Mike Mignola and Dave Stewart is just awesome…like the two before them. Good work gents!

I don’t love the face on this Adam Hughes Zatanna #15 cover (it’s very pretty but doesn’t actually look very much like Zatanna to me), but it’s otherwise a really beautiful. The way she emerges out of the black is just wonderful and the integration of her title block into the image is fantastic, making it all look very clean and simplified.

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!!!

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.

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:

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.
