Favorite Comic Book Covers of the Week 10/14/15
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!
Steve Seigh’s Favorite Comic Book Covers of the Week
Catwoman #45
Written by Genevieve Valentine
Art by David Messina
Monster Variant Cover by Robbi Rodriguez
Meow meow meow! I love this cover! Perhaps if Frankenstein’s monster looked and moved a bit more like Selina Kyle the villagers wouldn’t have been so afraid.
DC Comics Bombshells #3
Written by Margueritte Bennett – Laura Braga
Art by Margueritte Sauvage
Cover by Ant Lucia
I really dig this almost old-school magic show advertisement cover. Not only does the bunny at the bottom-right corner remind me of Bunnicula, but that sinister toothy grin in the upper-right is giving me the creeps something major.
Harley Quinn #21
Written by Amanda Connor – Jimmy Palmiotti
Art by John Timms
Monster Variant Cover by Ryan Sook
Heh. Proof that Harley could thousands of years old, dead and mummified, but she still looks good.
Starfire #5
Written by Amanda Connor – Jimmy Palmiotti
Art by Emanuela Lupacchino – Ray McCarthy
Not only have I always loved The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, but these water-colors are simply divine!
Wicked + Divine #15
Written by Kieron Gillen
Art by Jamie McKelvie – Various
Cover by Stephanie Hans
Wow! This is gorgeous! Also, is it giving anyone else a real Florence and the Machine kind of vibe?
Bob Reyer’s Favorite Comic Book Covers of the Week
HARROW COUNTY #6 (Dark Horse)
Writer: Cullen Bunn
Artist/Cover: Tyler Crook
I think the first word that comes to mind is…”Yuck!”
HARLEY QUINN #21 (DC)
Writer: Amanda Conner; Jimmy Palmiotti
Artist: John Timms
Cover: Amanda Conner
As we’re halfway through October, it’s getting close to Harley-ween! (Sorry, that was a terrible pun, even for me!)
STARFIRE #5 (DC)
Writer: Amanda Conner; Jimmy Palmiotti
Artist: Emanuella Lupacchino
Cover: Amanda Conner
I heard it from Mr. P. himself that “Despite a whole lot of stuff blowin’ up, no dolphins were harmed during the making of this book!”
SWITCH #1 (Top Cow/Image)
Writer/Artist/Cover: Stjepan Sejic
Steve will probably select this one, too, but that’s all good, as this image is worth being seen again, as is the variant shown below:
GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY #1 (Marvel)
Writer: Brian Michael Bendis
Artist: Valerio Schiti
Variant Cover: Michael Allred
C’mon… a Groot cover by Mike Allred would be on your list, too–am I right?
MS. MARVEL #19 (Marvel)
Writer: G. Willow Wilson
Artist: Adrian Alphona
Variant Cover: Cliff Chiang
I know that it’s “Monster Variant Month” or some such, but I still don’t get why the FF are on this cover of Ms. Marvel, but that I het to see them drawn by Mr. Chiang is a definite treat!
Favorite Comic Book Covers of the Week Soundtrack
My second favorite band in all the world, Failure, has released their second video off their new album for the track “Counterfeit Sky“. Have a listen!
That’s all, folks! Join us next week for another round of covers and an avalanche of incredible cover art!
