*Whistles*

Are the new ones due up soon?

You only need to compare it to some of his great previous covers to show how they have their most prominent images at the foreground of the cover, not in the background, like this one.

"Lex Luthor powered-up and razing the city, backed by a tyrant sun, and Superman has nothing to fight back with but a ray-gun."

How does that not pop?

Wonder Woman: Lopresti trying to invoke Norman Rockwell.

Captain America: The cover is not as "extremely simple" when it's looked at under more scrutiny. It's raining (very subtly drawn) in the background. The background (even when you don't look at the rain) really adds some nice depth to the cover. Kinda like what Djurdjevic is doing with his Magneto covers...

Dougie Brathwaite: I remember when he was a newcomer on The Punisher. I liked his odd style then and I really like his growth (very heavy Alex Ross influence) as an artist now. Since he adopted this style, he has done no wrong in my P.O.V.

Alex Ross: He still does great work. But, to me, he is becoming a bit of a hack now.

- That Nightwing / Hawkman BatB kicked so much ass. Great issue, and it's nice to see that Kolins is apparently out of his slump.

- re: Titans cover: ... ... (wait! must not be distracted by boobs.... .... ... crap!) As bad as it is, I think that would probably sell very well as a poster. I don't get why Winick wants to dial all the characters' love lives back to 1986 or so, but whatever.

- If Superman / Batman is going to adapt the JLU ep where they're turned into kids, I'm all for it.

- I always thought that the last All-Star Superman cover should somehow be more iconic than that one is.

- There needs to be a Flash guest-spot in that Looney Tunes book

- re: Mahnke's Supes cover - nitpicking, but why isn't the "S" on the back of the cape coloured? Has that changed and I just never noticed?

- The Super Friends cover where they're breaking out of the cage is basically "why Aquaman is always disrespected": everyone else is doing their personal gimmick to break free, while Aquaman is just sort of sliding through the bars. That's the best gimmick he's got?

- Anyone want to put money on the fact that there won't be a Cap movie poster as good as the covers? I know Iron Man got one, but that seemed like a one-off.\\\

- Kudos for actually writing the articles on that Supergirl cover. I hate it when stuff like that is just gibberish, especially on a cover with newspaper text.

- Geez, the Earth 2 JSA is overmatched.

Cannot wait for Warcop.

You used the word ‘Cute’ 8 times, which to me sums up the most disturbing trend in comics these days.

Too much cute art.

I don't think there's too much, because, as you note, it came up eight times, but in SIX MONTHS' worth of comic covers!!

And that's with me highlighting the ones I liked - most of the covers are not cute!

Many thanks Brian! Looking forward to it.

BUT...

Isn't that Jade at the bottom-right? I thought she had been ret-conned into New Earth and killed (badly) by the new Infinity Inc in Countdown... Or is this an un-ret-conned Earth 2?? (Ret-ret-conned????)

So we'll have JSA vs JSA or JSA vs All-Star Squadron?!?! or JSA vs Infinity Inc?

OR... Infinty Inc vs. Infinity Inc... ????

Have to stop, my head is hurting now...

Too much cute art.
