As I mentioned last week, I have a room full of comics to bag-n-box. Out of the probable 400 books, I have selected my twelve favorite covers. Here's the first six.
Stan Lee Meets The Thing, 2006
Nice homage cover. The line "This Stan, This Monster" gets me every time.
Countdown to Final Crisis #23, Nov 2007
Countdown certainly was a mess. Seemed like there was a lot of good ideas in there, but nothing ever came together and it was all thrown out the window anyway. Still, the image of a dirtied, chained Mr. Mxyzptlk is pretty amazing.
Robin Annual, #7, Dec 2007
I bought this specifically for the cover. DC was using the image in a house ad at the time. It's all pointy and beautiful.
Countdown Special: Kamandi 2008
Ryan Sook does great things. I feel like his Kamandi is staring right at me. Sook did an Ambush Bug cover for a collection that DC never got around to printing.
Joker's Asylum: Scarecrow, Sept 2008
I like the cross-pollination between the Animated Scarecrow and the DCU version.
Final Crisis #3, Sept 2008
All of the figural covers for Final Crisis were brilliant. But I think this contemplative, shyly feminine Supergirl is my favorite.
