Eduardo Risso's artwork is ALWAYS excellent. I have no idea what's going on in that LOGAN cover, but I want to read it anyway.

DAREDEVIL is consistently one of the best books month in and month out... the cover, the interior artwork, the writing, you name it. I can't recall a DAREDEVIL cover in recent that I haven't loved on sight.

If Marvel has a policy detailing the permissible amount of areola on a comic book cover, I'd love to read it for laughs.

"So when did Cratos from the GOD OF WAR video games join the Guardians Of The Galaxy? That is him next to Rocket Raccoon isnâ€™t itâ€¦?"

That it took 29 responses before someone caught that makes me sad. I'm not sure how I feel about Drax (or whover that is) looking like a green Cratos. I'm happy Rocket Racoon is back in circulation, though.

The Alan Davis New Exiles cover with Morph "flying" is an homage to this Dynamo cover by Wally Wood...

There is an updated version of the Guardians of the Galaxy Cover with Quasar's face actually visible and Adam Warlock not looking like a vampire.

Wolverine cover: without getting into the actual fight?? Wolvie is stabbing Mystique in teh guts!!!

Coipel on Thor: Why would you expect him to be gone by now?? Great cover by the way.

Tan's Uncanny cover is terrible. So lifeless. And what about Emma going all Medusa there??

I love the X-Men First Class cover. Great facial expressions. Dodson's Young X-Men is good, too.

My pick of the month would be Djurdjevic's Ghost Rider. It's just so badass.

Two things I never thought I'd say, yet just have:

1) I miss the originality of those zombie covers.

2) I'm really looking forward to Guardians of the Galaxy.

I love these posts, but it drives me nuts that only about a third of the covers actually appear, no matter how many times I refresh or reload.

I donâ€™t know much about computers, but I know mine is large and new and expensive, and can show full episodes of TV shows without a delay or anything.

I go to dozens of other websites that are image-intensive, and I have no problem. Whatâ€™s the deal?

My computer knowledge is likewise extremely limited.

But you tried a different browser? If you're in Firefox try Internet Explorer or Netscape. If you're in Netscape, try Firefox.

Yes, I've always like Bradstreet's art.
However...
Would it be possible for him to draw a different type of Punisher cover other thank Frank just standing and holding a gun?
I know it's a classic and a favorite for many...but, geez, this is about as monotonous at it gets.

Marvel should've hired Sean Phillips to do the Captain America cover. Now there's a guy who knows how to do a good propaganda cover. Good attempt by Epting though. I've always supported him. Back when he started on Avengers, I kept telling people to watch out for him.

Skinny Hulk or not, the "thock" is enough to put that Marvel Adventures cover into the top 5.

The Power Pack and Captain America covers are my favorites of the month.

Not even Bob Layton can make Ron Lim's work look good. Doom looks awful on that cover.

Boo Cook's yet another top quailty art droid from the 2000AD production line. He recently did the covers for the Elephant Men: War Toys mini. He's got a lovely detailed yet cartoony style. Here's a gallery of the covers he's done for 2000AD:

That Leonard Kirk Avengers cover would be clever but there was an Atom one from a while ago that's exactly like it (but this isn't trying to homage it).

So I'd take that one out of the honourable mentions.

So when did Cratos from the GOD OF WAR video games join the Guardians Of The Galaxy? That is him next to Rocket Raccoon isn't it...?

Ed Benes could have done it.

You can't hold mere mortals to the standards to T&A gods like Benes.
