TOP COVERS FOR FEB 2012

The following are my top 10 fav covers from the recently released Feb solicits. View Full Solicits: DC, Dark Horse, Marvel. 

This month has some amazing covers featuring the coolest women in comics, starting off with this wonderful Rogue cover...

X-Men Legacy #262 by Mark Brooks

Beautiful cover. Took my breath away!

PunisherMAX #22 by Dave Johnson

This is great in it's simplicity, and i like that we're in there looking out instead of the other way round like usual. The signature bugs me though, there's gotta be a better place to put it.

Black Panther #529 by Francesco Francavilla

I get a nice "epic" book covery feel from this. Francavilla always uses really nice colours, and uses them so simply. Makes it looks so easy.

Supernatural #5 by Dustin Nguyen

Northlanders #49 by Massimo Carnevale

Penguin Pain & Prejudice #5 by Szymon Kudranski

I like the blurryness/depth of field in this. Plus the simple colour scheme.

Conan the Barbarian #1 by Becky Cloonan

Batgirl #6 by Adam Hughes

Batwoman #6 by Amy Reeder

This image has been floating around for awhile, but i never get tired of it. Real nice detail on the costume.

And finally... 

Aquaman #6 by Ivan Reis

Mera front and centre cutting loose! Of course this is gonna be one of my top covers.

Sweet Tooth #27 by Jeff Jemire

Spaceman #2 by Dave Johnson

I'm heaps excited for this series. The whole concept sounds really cool, and Azzarello & Risso can really do no wrong together.

Nightwing #3 by Eddy Barrows

I've been drawing heaps of circusy stuff lately. Not as well as this, though. These guys looks like a cool traveling circus family.

Grifter #3 by Carlos Alberto Fernandez Urbano (CAFU)

Justice League Dark #3 by Ryan Sook

Frankenstein AGENT of S.H.A.D.E #3 by J.G. Jones

Also been drawing a bunch of crabs lately. Wish i could put Frankenstein in with mine too!

Flash #3 by Francis Manapul

Such a stylish cover!

Fables #111 by Joao Ruas

Diablo #1 by Joseph Lacroix

Batman #3 by Greg Capullo

The cover for Batman #2 was in my list last month iirc, but Capullo has outdone himself with this one. So much energy, great composition and simple yet highly effective colour scheme! Really digging it.

X-Men #2 by Chris Bachalo

Love the colours on this.

Avengers Origins Vision #1 by Marko Djurdjevic

X-23 #16 by Kalman Adrasofszky

This is just a really cool pose and composition. I get an Miracleman/All Star Superman vibe off it for some reason.

X-Men Legacy #258 by Clay Mann

Clay Mann is quickly becoming one of my fav artists. Everything i'm seeing i dig more and more.

Victor Von Dom #1 by Becky Cloonan

New Mutants #33 by Jason Pearson

This reminds me of the old Bachalo and Mahfood Generation X stuff i used to love when i was a kid.

Magneto Not a Hero #1 by Clay Mann

Mann again. The angle of this cover is great and Mags looks badass.

Incredible Hulk #2 by Marc Silvestri

Hulks vs giant Sharks. Need i say more.

Ghost Rider #3 by Arturo Lozzi

I am by no means a Ghost Rider fan, but this cover alone makes me want to be. This artists work is really really cool.

Fearless #2 by Arthur Adams

Top 10 Marvel covers for Sep...

Here are my top 10 fav covers from Marvel's September Solicitations, which you can read all of here.

Criminal: Last of the Innocents #4 by Sean Philips

What a babe!

Moon Knight #5 by Alex Maleev

I like the textures in this, the white area is especially pleasing.

Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #1 by Kaare Andrews

This new costume ain't really doing it for me, but this is a really dynamic cover.

Wolverine: Debt of Death #1 by David Aja

Daredevil #3 by Paolo Rivera

So simple, and so nice.

Spider Island: Deadly Hands of Kung Fu #2 by Sebastian Fiumara

Spooky & sticky & spidery & Shang-Chi-y.

Uncanny X-Force #15 by Esad Ribic

The colours in this are fantastic.

X-Factor #225 by David Yardin

Good mysterious cover, and very atmospheric.

X-Men Schism #4 by Alan Davis

I dunno who to go for...

X-23 #14 by Kalman Andrasofszky

The colours work so nicely here and Thing looks beastly!

That's it for this month's covers...

Top 10 covers from DC's September Solicits...

DC have released the covers and solicitation info for September, which you can see here. Always a good batch of inspiring artworks to be found and the following are my top 10 covers in no particular order...

Unwritten #29 by Yuko Shimizu

Old school Pulp greatness, not to mention that "poison" quote. Yuko Shimizu's covers for this series have been outstanding from the get-go.

Action Comics #1 by Rags Morales

A great and very intriguing homage to the original Action Comics cover.

Frankenstein: Agent of S.H.A.D.E #1 by J.G. Jones

Frankenstein with a sword and a gattling gun. Plus that 4 armed girl looks awesome!

DMZ #69 by John Paul Leon

I haven't read past the 2nd volume of this series yet, waiting to find a good deal on the following trades, but this cover immediately made me want to re-read and catch up on this series.

Justice League #1 by Jim Lee & Scott Williams

While not really that interesting of a cover, the fact that it's Jim Lee, a brand new Justice League, and Aquaman's in there, hits all the right fanboy notes for me.

Legion of Super Heroes #1 by Karl Kerschl

I really like the colours in this, and it has a real nice flow to it.

All Star Superman TPB by Frank Quitely

I remember when the first released the image for this the sky was bluer, and i think i liked it that way more. Still a fantastic cover for a fantastic series.

Sweet Tooth #25 by Jeff Lemire

Makes me think of the Lion King scene.

Hellblazer #283 by Simon Bisley

This one kind of speaks for itself yeah.

And my favourite cover of the month...

Scalped #53 by Jock

Jock you're awesome.

Also the Aquaman #1 and Batman & Robin #1 covers that were in my last post are awesome too. Should post up my top 10 covers from Marvels solicits in the next couple of days. Spilt coffee on my keyboard so i gotta buy a new one so i can get onto my comp. Soo annoying!
