Favorite Comic Book Covers of the Week 06/15/16

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!

Bob Reyer’s Favorite Comic Book Covers of the Week

CLEAN ROOM #9 (DC)

Writer: Gail Simone
Artist: Jon Davis-Hunt
Cover: Jenny Frison

unnamed

Jenny Frison’s covers have helped to set the tone for this smart and ultra-creepy series, and this one promises some very weird goings-on indeed!

SQUADRON SUPREME #8 (Marvel)

Writer: James Robinson
Artist: Leonard Kirk
Cover: Alex Garner

unnamed (1)

I loved Alex Garner’s covers on Gail Simone’s Batgirl, so picking this dramatic image is a lay-up!

CIVIL WAR II #2 (Marvel)

Writer: Brian Michael Bendis
Artist: David Marquez
Variant Cover: Jim Steranko

unnamed (2)

Not that I’m promoting this “event” or anything, but any chance that I have to highlight a Jim Steranko cover, and especially one featuring Captain America, I’m going for it!

CIVIL WAR II: X-MEN #1 (Marvel)

Writer: Cullen Bunn
Artist: Andrea Boccardo
Variant Cover: Skottie Young

unnamed (3)

Magneto seems to have the key to how the “teams” were picked for the latest conflict in the ol’ MU, doesn’t he?

DEADPOOL #14 (Marvel)

Writer: Gerry Duggan
Artist: Scott Koblish
Cover: Rafael Albuquerque

unnamed (4)

Not exactly the JSA, now is it? (see below…)

unnamed (5)

(All–Star Comics #3; cover by Everett Hibbard)

PATSY WALKER aka HELLCAT #7 (Marvel)

Writer: Kate Leth
Artist/Cover: Brittney Williams

unnamed (6)

The sun streaming through the blinds, Patsy’s dress channeling the look of her costume…there’s just so much to love about this cover!

PRINCELESS: MAKE YOURSELF #3 (Action Lab)

Writer: Jeremy Whitley
Artist/Cover: Emily Martin; Brett Grunig

unnamed (8)

Our favorite half-dwarf blacksmith Bedelia has attracted an interesting posse in this charming cover by series artists Emily Martin and Brett Grunig!
