the posted astonishing xmen cover was not drawn by travis charest, he did the variant cover of the book which is much better than phil’s version. (no offense)

I see that Mantis is still in the Guardians of the Galaxy. Is she being done right yet? I’ve only flipped through one issue of this series (it was one of the earliest ones), and I was greatly disturbed by what I saw of Mantis. She spoke in first person and bore no resemblance that I could see to the classic Englehart character, who may very well rank as the greatest comics character ever created by anybody at anytime. I was really hoping this ‘Mantis’ would turn out to be one of those Skrulls. (I’m still upset the new Captain America wasn’t a Skrull, and we didn’t get to find out Bucky had died back in 1945 like he was supposed to.)

I never heard anything about a new Strange Tales. Is it a limited series or an ongoing one? Is it silly stories, or is that just for the cover? Will it have anything besides the Hulk?

That’s probably what it was, Kevin.

In any event, it’s definitely intentional on Young’s part.

There are two claws shown, but the distance between them makes it look like he’s intentionally only putting up the two end ones and leaving out the middle one.

It looks to me like he’s doing bunny ears on Cyke, for the “group photo” feel of the cover

Scottie Young does some truly great stuff. I will definitely be picking up his collected Wizard of Oz work for my young son to enjoy when he gets a little older.

One thing though, is it just me or does Wolverine only have two claws on his left hand?

I love the way Nightcrawler and Cyclops are drawn on that ‘X-Babies’ cover. Love it.

Are these X-Babies from ‘X-Men Forever’ continuity?…

Nice.

Was that my suggestion you’re going with? A top 5 and bottom 5 (with your comments) and all other covers posted inviting comments from others?

For now…

Exactly.

You gotta lock that down DC, or someone else will win his heart!

The Deadpool cover sure looks cool! Plus I love the cinematic feel of Thunderbolts. But in the long run, yeah.. Nothing beats the cuteness of the X Babies

Cloak and Dagger have very strong designs, they are just really sharp looking characters, especially together (as they always are). So they lend themselves to really nice covers, even if the actual stories always end up being a disappointment (well, for me anyway).

I remember being disturbed by this Cloak and Dagger cover when I was a kid. It’s some pretty good work by Kevin Nowlan: http://www.milehighcomics.com/cgi-bin/backissue.cgi?action=fullsize&issue=82856587166%208

I believe he still draws interiors just for DC.

He just does covers for Marvel.

But it’s very recognizably Jimenez, Chad. They do faces very differently – Jimenez is in the Perez tradition, Charest has had more of a Jodorowsky style for the last couple of years. But no offense was meant.

The problem with Skottie Young’s X-Babies cover is that it shows a fundamental misunderstanding of how Nightcrawler teleports.

That X-Babies cover is great., and I hate the X-babies. I love the little cat ears on Kitty’s cowl. I can’t believe nobody ever thought to give her those before.
