We’ve Got You Covered
Yet another week of solid comics
from the folks at DC Comics, and a lot of them were wrapped in swell covers!
You want to see them all? You’ll have to dig through previews or go check them
out at the store, I’m only going to do five here. But I do want to give a
special mention to Trinity #1: while
the regular edition’s cover was good, it didn’t make the list. But if this
grouping was for comic book interiors, Trinity
#1 would win, hands down! Absolutely gorgeous book, you should take a look.
But don’t get too distracted yet, take a look at my best DC Comics covers of
the week!
Aquaman #7 variant
Joshua Middleton
You could have told me this was Cliff Chiang and I wouldn’t
have batted an eyelid. Really like this flat art style in certain applications,
though I don’t know if it would suit a whole issue.
Cyborg #1
Will Conrad
I am a sucker for these movie poster-inspired “throw
everything at you” type images. The composition is really solid, and the best
part is that it could be a poster for an epic science-fiction film or a pulp
trade paperback bought at the airport.
Batman #7 variant
Tim Sale
Some people don’t like Tim Sale’s art, and I am not one of
them. The negative space on this cover makes everything, really portrays Batman
as being helpless before the gaping maw of a Monster Man.
Harley Quinn #4
variant
Bill Sienkiewicz
It doesn’t have a thing to do with the content of the issue,
but this is a really nice piece of artwork. Looks almost like a Gustav Klimt
painting. Is this comic book going to become an ad hoc Harley Quinn/Poison Ivy
team-up book? I’m okay with that.
Green Arrow #7
W. Scott Forbes
This one takes me back to my candy raver days! *NNST NNST
NNST NNST* :gesticulates wildly: The composition is good, the character
rendering is nice, but the colors just blast off of this cover. At the shop,
this thing shined like a diamond. If the object of a comic book cover is to
catch your eye, mission accomplished with this one!
Great covers. Personally my favorite cover might of actually been lthe superman covers, both the main and the variant. But especially that main cover. Very representative of the story both in it's simplicity and the focus not really being on Superman but on the family.

The main cover was my sixth pick! Great composition on that one, and it is looks "classic."
DeleteI love that Green Arrow cover. I can't remember what Batman cover it was but one of the variants I really didn't like.
