COVER OF THE WEEK
THE MASSIVE #5
by Brian Wood and Garry Brown
Cover by John Paul Leon
This cover feels like the poster to an old adventure movie. The path of the journey dotted on the map in the background, and the detailed wrinkles on the two characters' clothes and the way they seem to blow back all show that they are in the cold, and that's pretty cool (cough). Leon is able to convey a location without an actual backdrop.
HONORABLE MENTIONS
BATMAN #13
by Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo
Cover by Greg Capullo
That's okay Mr. Capullo. It's not like I NEED sleep. This cover is freaking SCARY. We only see a little bit of the Joker's new design, and even this sample makes me want to hide. He's applying his makeup, getting ready to do something HORRIFIC. And he's doing it in the dark, which means he can be anywhere. Even behind you.
MACGYVER: FUGITIVE GAUNTLET #1
by David Lee Zlotff, Tony Lee and Will Ciney
Cover by Cieran Lucuas
Keep in mind, I never really watched MacGyver. And this cover by still looks great. I know MacGyver is supposed to have a knack for improvisation, and this is just that. It shows a character's trademark on the cover in grand fashion, looking incredible.
FANBOYS VS ZOMBIES #7
by Sam Humphries and Jerry Gaylord
Cover by Khary Randolph
It's ironic that these fanboys are dressed as military characters. It feels like a parody of the Walking Dead, showing what would happen if zombies attacked-- Wait, what ARE they doing in the desert? Was there a convention there? Other than that, this is a pretty awesome cover. Plus, that helicopter looks pretty sleek.
WORST COVER OF THE WEEK6
DEATHSTROKE #13
by "Everything He Touches Sucks" Liefeld
Cover by EHTS Liefeld
During his Twitter war with Rob Liefeld, Scott Snyder wrote "Your twitter feeds are the best things you've written all year." Well, the word "best" implies something positive, at least, reducing negatives. In other terms, compliments and insults are like numbers. The word "best" would be a positive number.It's like saying it's the closest thing you can get to good. Well, Liefeld has never even drawn anything good either. He has no BEST works. In fact, one website even made TWO lists of the worst 40 Liefeld drawings ever. If they ever make another 40 list (which I'm sure they will), they should add this cover. It's a travesty. Deathstroke's left foot is WAY too small, it looks like someone cut his right foot clean off, Zealot's spine is bending to unimaginable proportions, the gun on the far left looks like an elephant gun, so whoever'a holding it should be using BOTH hands, Deathstroke's gun has a really small opening, Zealot's hair is unrealistically long, especially for someone who fights a lot (someone could just grab it, and have someone else beat her up), and AGAIN with the bulge between Deathstroke's legs!
