Though I had a few covers I liked a lot this week (Northlanders #36 stands out especially) it’s no surprise that I’m going with Wolverine & Jubilee #1 by Oliver Coipel, which I raved about in more detail just recently here. Also nice is that I really liked this issue too. Yay for comics!

DC’s “iconic covers” this month are making the pickings a bit slim for cover of the week, but this Fabio Moon Casanova Gula #1 is the easy winner…really cool blue tones with pops of yellow plus the integration of the cut out text and the badass starry eyes weirdness at the bottom…very nice.

No contest this week (assuming this actually came out, I wasn’t able to get it). Skottie Young’s Ozma of Oz#3, which will definitely be on my short list for covers of the year. Of the books I actually bought I have to say it was a plethora of mediocrity. Until I realized Ozma of Oz came out this week and just wasn’t in my pile I was at a loss for how I would pick one winner out of this pile of not so good – ironically so far I’m enjoying the insides quite a bit…just not the covers…
Weird.

And with that we’re caught up!
I love this Jock cover for Detective #872. Love everything about it. Slam dunk.

Playing a little catch up here from while I was away and not picking up or reading my weeklies…
This was a pretty unimpressive cover week for me, as I don’t think this Streets of Gotham #18 by Dustin Nguyen is his best work and it’s still easily the best of what I got this week.

Easy win this week for Marvel’s Strange Tales II #3. A bunch of hilarious giant headed Ivan Brunetti superheroes at the gym (and Spider-Man playing raquetball!) who can beat that? Nobody, that’s who!

Easy win for me this week to give it to Brian Wood’s Northlanders #35 illustrated by Massimo Carnevale. Haunting and beautiful. Love all the white.

Me: Hey comics?
Comics: Yeah?
Me: Skottie Young wiped the floor with you all this week.
Comics: Nu-uh!
Me: Yeah-uh. Wanna see?
*shows all the other comics she bought, the cover to the completely awesome Ozma of Oz #2*
Comics: Oh.
Me: Yeah.
So yeah…the winner…in a massive TKO…no fucking contest…Skottie Young’s perfect Ozma of Oz #2 cover:

There were some really nice covers this week including Travel Foreman’s Black Widow #8, the lovely (and bittersweet) final cover to Madame Xanadu #29 by Mark Buckingham, and Jock’s very cool Detective Comics #871, but nobody could hang with J.H. Williams III and my girl Batwoman for Batwoman #0. Bathe in the awesomeness:
Happy Thanksgiving to those Americans that celebrate it. I mostly celebrate having two days off…which at this point in my life is a massive luxury.

Gotta go with J.H. Williams III’s completely iconic, awe-inspiring, and flat out gorgeous cover to Batman Inc. #1.
It’s also nice that the cover really resonates what is actually inside unlike so many comics today. The cover heralds not only the return of Bruce Wayne and the ushering in of a new era, but the flags from a variety of nations as his backdrop, really helps clarify what that era will be. As usual J.H. Williams III is one of the absolute best artists around. If you love him, go vote for him in Comics Should Be Good’s Top 100 Artists and Writers (but don’t forget about all the awesome lady writers and artists!).
