Favorite Comic Book Covers of the Week 02/17/16

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!

Steve Seigh’s Favorite Comic Book Covers of the Week

Avengers Standoff Welcome to Pleasant Hill #1

Written by Nick Spencer

Art by Mark Bagley

Cover by Daniel Acuna

1501092_xl

Can you imagine the all-mighty power of the cosmic cube in the hands of a child? What would they wish for our reality? Would they make it a better place or doom us for all eternity? One has to wonder.

Dragon Age Magekiller #3

Written by Greg Rucka

Art by Carmen Nunez Carnero – Terry Pallot

Cover by Sachin Teng

1501177_xl

Oh good grief, I do love the covers to this Dragon Age series. Each one of the has been so rich with color and style. I may have to think about opening up my coffers and sparing a bit of coin on this run. I mean, it is Rucka at the wheel, after all!

Carnage #5

Written by Gerry Conway

Art by Mike Perkins

Cover by Mike Del Mundo

1501098_xl

“In the town we call home, everyone hail to the Carnage song!”

Doctor Fate #9

Written by Paul Levitz

Art and Cover by Sonny Liew

1500934_xl

I can’t be the only one who thinks this looks like a Doctor Fate-brand tarot card, right? Could you imagine a whole set of cards designed by Sonny Liew in the vein of Doctor Fate? * THROWS MONEY IN THE FACE OF THE FATES *

Bob Reyer’s Favorite Comic Book Covers of the Week

CLEAN ROOM #5 (Vertigo/DC)

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

unnamed

I’m thinking that it is not going to be “sweet nothings” whispered into Astrid Mueller’s ear!

SNOWFALL #1 (Image)

Writer: Joe Harris
Artist/Cover: Martin Morazzo

unnamed (1)

With the wind-chill factor near zero here on Long Island, how could I not select this chiller of a cover!

MIGHTY THOR #4 (Marvel)

Writer: Jason Aaron
Artist: Russell Dauterman
Variant Cover: Michael Cho

unnamed (2)

The Russell Dauterman cover is an image with a powerful message, but this one by Michael Cho speaks to the joy I’ve experienced reading the tales of Jane Foster as the wielder of Mjolnir!

POWER MAN & IRON FIST #1 (Marvel)

Writer: David F. Walker
Artist/Cover: Sanford Greene
Variant Cover: Skottie Young
Variant Cover: Trevor Von Eeden

unnamed (3)

unnamed (4)

unnamed (5)

Three very different covers, but as they all speak to the bonds of friendship that were formed between Luke and Danny back in 1977, they’re all here–although I think my favorite is the third one by Trevor Von Eeeden!

SILVER SURFER #2 (Marvel)

Writer: Dan Slott
Artist/Cover: Michael & Laura Allred

unnamed (6)

The Allreds drawing a giant Ben Grimm is a beautiful…Thing?

SPIDER-WOMAN #4 (Marvel)

Writer: Dennis Hopeless
Artist/Cover: Javier Rodriguez

unnamed (7)

If you had told me a year ago that I’d be selecting a cover featuring a very-pregnant Jessica Drew clinging upside-down to a wall…

SQUADRON SUPREME #4 (Marvel)

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

unnamed (8)

No one delivers “majestic” like Alex Ross!

Favorite Comic Book Covers of the Week Soundtrack

Honestly, all I can think about these days is that we’re so close to another full-length Deftones album! Here’s a cover tune of “Drive” by The Cars as performed by the Deftones. Enjoy!
