Ugh, I could do without the obvious Vagina Dentata on the Flash cover there.

Oh, by the way, I think you're being a bit nitpicky on the Pacheco cover too.

Guess it doesn't pay to have a contrary opinion.

? First I heard of it?

Again?

That's happened before?

"Frank" said... "Calero cover, best of what you have here." -- Are you crazy?? This must be Dennis Calero himself posting again under an assumed identity to pump himself up.

"She'll end."

Hmmm....maybe.

Perhaps "shell" for the Catwoman cover?

Ron Marz on Comicbloc.com concerning speculation that Kyle becomes Parallax:

â€œIt hasnâ€™t been revealed ANYWHERE. Itâ€™s all simply guesses by people who know nothing.â€

Of course it hasn't been revealed. That's what speculation IS, right?

I'll be glad, though, if Kyle is NOT Parallax.

Ah, Vertical, well put!!

I think the reversing of the words, three final issues instead of final three issues confused me!

Thanks for the correction!

Looking at the Hughes Catwoman cover, the flames also look like it spells out "end" over the e-n-a portion of the crib.
But why is Selina going all ghetto and pouring one for her lost homies and baby Helena?

Top 3
1. The Programme
2. Batman
3. The Spirit (Its Cooke!)

Rebis:
"(Iâ€™ll come clean and admit Iâ€™ve never read the classic Oâ€™Neil/Grell GL/GA series where Speedy got hooked on heroin. Did Dinah have a big part to play in that storyline? Is that where the maternal angle comes in?)"
--
Yeah. While Ollie and Hal ran off to beat up drug pushers, Dinah stayed with Roy and took care of him while he was going through withdrawl. Of course, since this was back in the era of supercompressed storytelling, it only took like 2 pages for him to detox. But still.

That Kandor cover is just bizarre. I can't figure out why they would use a toy for any reason other than laziness.

I sincerely believe that the Ivan Reis cover should be #1. Its funny, its drawn well, and it is an homage.

And the Kandor cover is cool, even if I highly doubt that it would be that scale.

re: Y The Last Man... if you can have a "first three issues" of a series, you can have a "final three issues" of a series, yes?

Yes.

Thanks for doing this cover re-cap every month. It's a lot of fun to read!

Those Uni-formz things are DC's answer to those uber trendy vinyl toy stuff.

Itâ€™s a shame that they couldnâ€™t keep a consistent face for Black Canary during her big moment. It looks like a different actress in a BC costume on each of those covers.

Wow, that's a great point, Dan.

Well done.

I mean Jesus Christ look at that Super girl cover.
