BTW, it seems like someone purposely showed bad comic covers on this page...

Not only is it incomprehensible, the colors are so garish that it gives you no reason to keep looking at it to figure it out.

I'd say about 5 figures. -the American Virgin cover would nbe a lot better if there were a wider range of colors. It's all reds and whites. -That's probably my least favorite Fables cover so far. -The Scalped cover is my favorite. Hopefully some of the stranger covers, like the back of the watch reflection(???, make sense after reading the story. -I don’t know how much of that cover Portacio actually drew.

If Turner's Power Girl's boobs bother you, Brian (as well they should), why do you approve of the Dodson's "experimental" treatment of Wonder Woman's chest: her right boob appears immense, her left one noticeably smaller? (Perhaps it's an artistic homage to the "real" Amazons' alleged practice of cutting off one breast to make it easier to draw a bow? Naaaah - and besides, it was the right breast that was supposedly cut off.) Why didn't you list Gon? OK, you're not listing any of the CMX books, but it's Gon! Gon is awesome. And hey, there's a Hoppy the Marvel Bunny action figure!

What gets me isn't the ridiculousness in size, it's the fact that they so totally don't fit into her anatomy and the placing of the chest cut-out is so perfectly awkward that it really makes it seem like they're not part of her body at all. Like she's got one of those baby slings and she's holding flesh-colored bowling balls in it, or like an evil naked midget is burrowing into her torso and he's already so far inside that all we can see is his ass. Then again, I haven't read the issue. Maybe that's a spoiler.
