Here we are on Sunday again. If you don't know the drill, these are my picks for Cover of the Week, honorable mentions, and worst cover of the week out of this week's Diamond releases.
COVER OF THE WEEK
BEFORE WATCHMEN: RORSCHACH #2
by Brian Azzarello and Lee Bermejo
Cover by Lee Bermejo
Holy cow. Unfortunately, I can't stop there, because this cover is just too good to pass up. If you're not buying this book because Rorschach isn't your favorite Watchmen character, get it for the art. It's some of the best on the shelves, period. There are so many tiny details to appreciate, you'll need to look at it again. A recurring theme throughout the Before Watchmen books I've noticed are eggs. It showed up in Minutemen #2, the preview for Nite-Owl #1 and now here. What's up with that?
HONORABLE MENTIONS
ANIMAL MAN #13
by Jeff Lemire and Steve Pugh
Cover by Steve Pugh
This isn't exactly an Animal Man cover. It's a Walking Dead cover. If the zombified Hawkman wasn't creepy enough, (At least he's broken free of Liefeld) the setting of the wasteland zoo amps up the fear factor to 11. The only thing that kept me from choosing this as cover of the week was that Animal Man's torso looks a little bit out of proportion.
MINIMUM CARNAGE ALPHA #1
by Chris Yost and Lan Medina
Cover by Clayton Crain
This is how a team-up cover is done. However, I'm only choosing this for how AWESOME Carnage looks, riding a syringe. Your arguments are all invalid.
THE DEFENDERS #11
by Matt Fraction and Mirco Pierferderci
Cover by Terry Dodson
Terry Dodson wins again! If DC has Ryan Sook, MARVEL has Dodson. I love the energy Dodson brings to the cover with his Adam Hughes like style. It's just... Why is no one attacking the big monster blowing up the city?
WORST COVER OF THE WEEK
PATHFINDER #2
by Jim Zubkavich and Andrew Huerta
Cover by Lucio Parillo
POUCHES!
