Am I the only one that thinks the Ben Riley/Spider Girl costume was awesome?

Well, I like that Eisner-esque one, but that’s all.

Howzabout some Aragones covers?

Good lord, I hate seeing comicbook characters chewing bubblegum. It always looks weird. Rob Liefeld was ig on that bullshit. Sometimes I wanted Boom Boom to be real just so I could punch her in the face.

It’s good to see even Bagely got sucked into the 90s hangup of drawing huge guns.

The Morbius cover is my choice from the ten.
My fav Bagley cover is probably USM 44(?) I think. Spidey’s hanging around the big X. It’s simple, eye-catching and relevent to the issue without giving anything about the story inside.

J.H. Williams III and Frank Quitely are two of my favorite cover (and interior) artists currently.

I also like the idea of cover themes. I would like to see the ten best Steranko inspired covers.

that picture of the White Queen surrounded by defeated Warriors stopped me in my tracks

Of course, as soon as you said that, I instantly had the image of the cover pop into my head. I remember it very clearly, if only because Bagly gave Emma Frost some very big, um, assets.

Geez.

No wonder I completely skipped the ’90s.

And the early ’00s.

(And the entirety of the ’80s, too, but that’s another matter altogether.)

So this guy is considered, like, a superstar or something? A couple of these — that Carnage monstrosity & the Thunderbolts mess — are downright appalling. The others are mostly, y’know, competent-to-not-bad. That’s it.

Utterly amazing.

I was hoping that issue of New Warriors was going to be in there. Bagley’s Thing always looked like he put a little extra into it. I have a feeling that’s part of the reason he appeared in the last issue of Mighty Avengers, but the whole arc has seemed a lot like Bendis saying goodbye to his artistic partner of the last better part of a decade.

Amazing #352 was one of my first comics. What a weird little story.

Bagley draws some pretty compelling action, but his faces are consistently horrible – particularly his females.

Honestly, none of these covers really grab me. But then, I’ve never cared for Bagley’s work that much.

Some good suggestions for other artists here â€” like Romita Jr. and Harris, and especially Bisley! (Wow, I’d forgotten about him!) â€” though how would you narrow it down and pick from Bolland’s covers?! You’re sure to hear calls for James Jean and JG Jones too. And don’t forget JH Williams III.

BUT … can we get some older artists in here? And not just the most obvious picks (Kirby, Eisner). I vote for Carmine Infantino! Jim Aparo! And how ’bout Ramona Fradon and Gil Kane? And then (though not exactly from the same era) there’s Mike Grell.

I don’t think the cover of New Warriors #10 is better than any of the above suggestions, but when I was a teenager, that picture of the White Queen surrounded by defeated Warriors stopped me in my tracks and got me to buy the comic, so I’ll always be fond of it.

(The key phrases in that sentence are “I was a teenager” and “White Queen.”)
