COVERS OF THE WEEK: 8/29/12

COVERS OF THE WEEK

8/29/12

If you remember, Covers of the Week, a weekly column (that I only did once), used to be on Tuesday. However, I'm moving it to Sunday. If you read the original, you remember I pick one Cover of the Week, 3 honorable mentions, and 1 worst cover of the week. Let's get started!

 

COVER OF THE WEEK

HIGHER EARTH #3

by Sam Humphries and Fransesco Biagni

Cover by Frazer Irving

This cover just looks great, but I only chose it because of his facial expression. Irving captures the look of terror on the man's face with precise detail, and you can't help but wonder why he's so scared.

 

HONORABLE MENTIONS

THE FLASH ANNUAL #1

by Francis Manapul, Brian Buccelato, and Marcus To

Cover by Francis Manapul

For one thing, I love how Manapul even put space for the logo at the top to make FLASH VS THE ROGUES. And the colors are beautiful.

 

THE AVENGING SPIDER-MAN #11

by Zeb Wells and Steve Dillon

Cover by Chris Samnee

I really enjoy covers that don't focus on the action or any sort of tension. It's just a nice cover, and I like it when the series' logo is actually made part of the art. I didn't choose this as cover of the week because the shadowing in the kitchen feels off.

 

AQUAMAN #12

by Geoff Johns and Ivan Reis

ROBOT CHICKEN variant

"VEEEEENGEANCE!"

 

WORST COVER OF THE WEEK

 

SCAM #1

by Joe Mulvey
Cover by Joe Mulvey

I don't think "digging for gold" is a good selling point for anything.
