Post your favorite comic book covers. Post the worst. Post news on all the hot variants coming out like this terrible industry depends on 'em!

DC, I will buy a giant over-expensive hardcover coffee table book of the Darwyn Cooke variant month covers. I'll buy ten. Gimme.

Just to get things rolling:









Uncanny Xforce was probably the last comic I read and cared about, especially the Esad Ribic covers with the Jerome Opena art. Googling anything by both is basically pure gold. They got the whole mind and spirit of Frazetta and made it the essence of their work.

His covers (and Tom King being on it) have me so pumped for Vision.



e: Speaking of Sienkiewicz, his brand new DK3 cover is beautiful.

Detective Comics 857

JH Williams III's covers for the 'Elegy' storyline (Detective 854-860) are the only comics I have framed on my wall.

Certainly the New 52 series suffered without Rucka's writing but the covers are even better than Elegy's in my opinion:

It warms my heart that amid all the terrible crap that gets so much praise there's some truly fantastic artists working on comics. That Del Mundo capsule cover is mind-boggling.

EDIT: I only know old stuff so I'll throw this in. Not nearly his best work but tell me you don't want to see the inside.

It was a variant cover first during the Gwen Stacy month that was announced earlier this year, then I guess like Spider-Gwen it got popular becuase it caught on with cosplayers after that.

There are a lot of Silver Age DC Comics that are just hokey, and throwing out bizarre Hooks to catch the reader's eye. But I think you have to admire covers like this which are able to get so much story across in one image. As hokey as it is, it speaks to an incredible economy of storytelling.

I like it. The new writer with those covers (from #35) turned it into a mob book with zero T+A focus, and she's wrapping her run up this month.

Cliff Chiang's Wonder Woman turned out some of the best covers I've ever seen.




You can see all of them on Cliff Chiang's website. Every cover is an inviting piece of pop art with incredible color use that promises a crazy adventure book inside. Now That's What I Call Covers.

You really are old. Dr. Fate has been reasonably popular since the 80s.

Sadly, there's currently no Liberty Legion or Invaders book.

Squirrel Girl just fought an Invaders villain, though.

And I didn't know that Ms Marvel cover was an homage until like 4 days ago, which is really weird. You'd think that Supergirl cover would be more known, it's really good.
