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.

Yikers.
There’s a good discussion going on over on CSBG…
My two cents is that this is a huge misstep, not just in the super cheap looking costume itself (and the hair and make-up, which are also really bad) but in the way it’s been revealed. Palicki looks uncomfortable at best and miserable at worst as she poses awkwardly in bright light in a white room with no context. She’s not channeling a single “Diana” thing in this image…what is that expression supposed to be other than “what the hell have I gotten myself into?”
How much more interesting would a “real life” version take on this be (with or without the eagles of course!):
Or hell, even an updated version of this:
Then again, maybe this is about lowering expectations? If so, congratulations to everyone involved!

Sometimes just a beautiful fucking girl in a simply beautiful rendered panel gets panel of the week…this is one of those weeks. Huge thanks to Clay Mann’s gorgeous rendering of alternate reality Danielle Moonstar here in X-Men Legacy #246. Just gorgeous.
It’s worth noting of course that Mann was ably aided by inker Jay Leisten and colorist Brian Reber for this panel!

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!

Thanks to Rebekah Isaacs every damn panel in Captain America and The Falcon looks gorgeous, but I thought this image of Cap falling from the quinjet was surprisingly intense and powerful – the kind of thing I’d love to see more in superhero stories – cause that shit seems like it would happen everyday – and be pretty horrifying.

I liked quite a few covers this week, Janet Lee’s Emma #1, David Yardin and Sonia Oback’s X-Factor #216, Greg Tocchini’s Captain America And The Falcon one-shot, but I’m still going with the awesome Michael Avon Oeming’s Powers #7. Great white space and movement paired up Oeming’s always cool character design.
