Favorite Comic Book Covers of the Week 04/15/15

Hey, thanks for checking out Talking Comics: Favorite Comic Book Covers of the Week!

You’ve got to admit, New Comic Book Release Day is pretty much the best day of the week. It’s the day we’re introduced to new worlds, are able to witness the next chapter in a continuing saga, or fall in love with a character or creator for the first time. I could go on and on, but I think you’ve already gotten my point. That point being … comics are awesome. So awesome in fact that even the covers of them are often times incredible works of art. We’re here to show you some of our  favorite covers each week! So go ahead and take a few moments for yourself (haven’t you earned it?) and feast your eyes on some truly inspired comic book covers!

It’s been a while since the first issue, but this cover ropes me right back in!

As this “origin” series has moved forward, we’ve been shown the forces that shaped the John Shaft from the novels and films, and he’s emerged on this lovely cover by veteran Denys Cowan!
