Easy win for this gorgeous Adam Hughes Zatanna #13 this week.  Her bottoms are a bit on the…skimpy side for my tastes, but in all the other ways that count it’s incredibly restrained for Hughes and I love the color and composition.  Tons of fun and just enough crazy weirdness.

A tie this week, to two very different, very gorgeous covers.  Nice work gents!

Dustin Nguyen’s stunning Batgirl #21

And Massimo Canivale’s moody Northlanders #40

No freaking contest people.

Skottie Young, boy genius, or something like that.  Check out this Ozma of Oz #6 goodness!

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!

Not a strong covers week for my books, but I really liked this creepy Mike Del Mundo Generation Hope #6 cover.  It’s even better once you read the interior story, which rocks.  Woo!

Not a strong week for my comic covers, so it’s an easy win for this lovely cover from Esad Ribic for Uncanny X-Force #7, even though it’s not remotely his best work on Uncanny X-Force thus far…

Sometimes less is more, except when it’s blood and then more is always more!

Go Fiona Staples with this excellent cover (and issue – her interior art is fantastic) from Jonah Hex #66!

Not a very strong week for covers in my books, which makes this very pretty Zatanna #11 cover by Adam Hughes an easy pick.  Plus I like to give him points for some restraint in the boobs/cleavage/etc. areas.  This is still very pretty, and exceptionally executed, but without making me feel all squirmy as Hughes covers sometimes do.

More of this please, sir!

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.

Oops.  First ever Cover of the Week F up.  I read Magus #3 digitally this week, and as such wasn’t looking at the cover as a contender when I made my decision…but that’s a mistake, because though I really like the Zatanna #10 cover I prefer Magus #3.

So here I am, rectifying the error.  I’ll give Zatanna #10 a strong honorable mention as it’s still a nice cover, but my vote has to go with Fiona Staples gorgeous Magus #3 cover.  A great perspective choice really gives this image powerful movement. That, combined with wonderful composition and color choices, not to mention, it’s got a fucking dragon, makes this a home run as far as I’m concerned.

I like everything about this Stephane Roux cover for Zatanna #10.  The posing and expression is perfect, the empty space is fitting, and the slight wooden texture to Zatanna is just dead on, subtle enough, but not too subtle.  Plus, there’s CLIFF CHIANG art inside when you open it.  NOTHING CAN BE BETTER!  :)
