Fantastic Four In...Ataque Del M.O.D.O.K.! #1 (Spanish Variant)

Now, I have no idea why this horned creature has been substituted for MODOK in this "Spanish Variant" cover, but I'm glad he was because he is awesome!

Is Juan Doe really called "Juan Doe" or is it a pseudonym?  Regardless, his art is awesome.  Check out all of his stuff at Marvel Images: Juan Doe

Fantastic Four In...Ataque Del M.O.D.O.K.! #1 (Spanish Variant) - Marvel
Artist: Juan Doe

I wasn't going to pick this up, but after looking through the art and previews of the issue I may grab it when I'm next in my local comics emporium!

Check out the original (and still awesome) MODOK cover below the cut: 

Klaws of the Panther #1

With Black Panther being the new "Man Without Fear" due to Daredevil's hiatus, it looks like a whole slew of different comics are coming out featuring characters from the Black Panther side of the Marvel Universe.  In this comic, the new Black Panther (Shuri; T'Challa's younger sister) has to stop an onslaught of Savage Land dinosaurs and Klaw.

Klaws of the Panther #1 - Marvel
Artist: Michael Del Mundo

You should definitely click on the picture to view it full size.  It is epic.

Michael Del Mundo is probably the artist who has been featured the most on this blog and it looks like that isn't going to stop any time soon.

6 Months Later...

Hi, everybody.

I must apologise for not posting here for a full 6 months.  I'm still reading comics and I'm still enjoying their covers, but work has caught up to me in a big way.  It is a Saturday at 6:35pm and I'm actually at work now.... bad times.

Anyway, I'm going to re-start this blog.  I may not manage to post a cover every day, but I'll try my hardest for you.  Let's see how this pans out.

Cheers,
Ric

Uncanny X-Men #523 (Variant)

Second Coming rumbles on into Chapter 2 in Uncanny X-Men #523 and what a variant cover this is.  David Finch, has smashed this one right out of the park.  Everyone looks really bad-ass.

Archangel and Colossus especially stand out.  Magik's fire-sword looks sweet.  Nightcrawler BAMF!-ing in in his trademark purple smoke is awesome.

Uncanny X-Men #523 - Marvel
Artist: David Finch

I really can't assign enough superlatives to this.

Spider-Man: Fever #1

After quite the hiatus we are back and hope to get into a better and more structured post-pattern from now on.  Heavy workloads derailed the comic cover train but what better way to get back on track with a cover like this?

Spider-Man: Fever #1 - Marvel

Artist: Brendan McCarthy

This is the first part of a 3-part limited series and all the covers are of a similar high quality, so expect to see more in the coming months!

Worst Cover of March 2010 - WWE Heroes #1

Oh dear.  Who decided that it was a good idea to invest time, money and effort into this venture?

WWE Heroes #1 - Titan
Artist: Andy Smith

Forget the fact that the cover involves WWE Wrestlers battling both zombies, vikings AND leopards for a moment and take a look at the size of Undertaker's forehead, HHH's thighs and John Cena's disgusting runny forearm muscles (last seen on the cover of Flash: Rebirth #6 chilling out on The Flash's legs).  It would also seem that HHH has a mullet these days.

Even the zombie that HHH is holding aloft like a Championship belt has the fashion sense of an old-man - check out that waistline!  Horrible.

Incredible Hulk #608

If it wasn't for the stellar cover of yesterday's 28 Days Later #8 this would probabaly be my favourite of the week.  As it stands Incredible Hulk #608 has to come in a close second place but there's no shame in that!

Incredible Hulk #608 - Marvel
Artist: John Romita Jr.

I love the motion that's captured in this image.  The rain looks like it is driving down and none of the characters look static.  Apart from Spider-Man of course, who's getting a piggyback.  You know what I mean.

28 Days Later #8 (Cover B)

I couldn't let it get to Thursday (new comics day in the UK, you remember) without getting this stunner out there for all to see.  I love this cover (the inside is beautiful too - both the story and art) and what the picture below doesn't show is that it extends onto the back of the issue too, giving an even greater sense of scale and height.

It is a thing of beauty.

28 Days Later #8 (Cover B) - BOOM! Studios
Artist: Sean Phillips

There was also a limited edition cover that had no logos on it and now I kind of wish I'd picked that one up instead. Not sure why I didn't.  Well, you live and learn!

Lazy Sunday #4: Surplus Cover Roundup

Well, aren't you in for a treat?  This Lazy Sunday post is going to round up all of the covers that I couldn't show you that I wanted to from earlier this month.  There just aren't enough days in a week to give everything it's own post so what better way to show you these than in a bumper Sunday post every now and then?  I know, I know, I'm just too good to you all.

So, sit back, relax and enjoy, starting with Sparta USA #1 and continuing with a whole massive bunch of other covers after the jump.

Sparta USA #1 - DC
Artist: David Lapham

As I said, plenty more overflow goodness for you... RIGHT NOW!

Joe The Barbarian #3

Yet another beautiful Joe the Barbarian cover from Sean Murphy.  This cover really grabs you and makes you want to see what the comic is all about.  The pirates, the futuristic ship/submarine, the over-sized pet rat in his battle-wear... surely if you're not reading this you want to now?

Joe The Barbarian #3 - Vertigo
Artist: Sean Murphy

Check out the cover of Joe the Barbarian #2 which I featured last month - it is a lot less dark, but no less spectacular.

Nova #35

Well, I don't read any of the Marvel space books, but how awesome is this cover?  Nova's flaming helmet, Black Bolt's crumpled mask and (I'm guessing) Mr Fantastic's ripped outfit screams epicness.

Nova #35 - Marvel
Artist: Brandon Peterson

I'm pretty sure that the Realm of Kings crossover finishes this month - does anybody know if Nova #36 will be a good time to jump onto the Marvel U's space books?

Avengers vs Atlas #3 (Variant)

This Andrew Robinson variant of the third issue of Avengers vs Atlas is so beautiful.  The two "iron men" M-11 and, err, Iron Man having an electical fight makes for a brilliant image.

Avengers vs Atlas #3 (Variant) - Marvel
Artist: Andrew Robinson

I reckon M-11 could take old school Iron Man out.  Maybe he does!  I'll be picking this up to find out for sure - issues #1 and #2 were great.

Red Robin #10

To cap off a thoroughly Marvel-filled week we have a sterling retaliation from the Distinguished Competition. Red Robin #10 is the second part of the crossover that began in Batgirl #8 (also released this week but with a comparatively unexciting cover).

Red Robin #10 - DC
Artist: Marcus To & Ray McCarthy

I especially like the inclusion of both Red Robin and Batgirl's earlier crimefighting aliases (as Robin [obviously!] and Spoiler) in the background.  More please!

Amazing Spider-Man #624

Amazing Spider-Man is easily the most featured comic on this blog, but when you put out three issues a month and use some of the best artists in your stable then you'll always get a leg-up over everyone else.  Issue 624 is yet another stunner.

Amazing Spider-Man #624 - Marvel
Artist: Michael Lark

I really like this new Vulture but almost everyone else on the internet seems to hate him.  People need to ask themselves why they think that a zombie-like man with a pair of wings is something to hate.  It isn't!

The Mystic Hands of Dr Strange #1

As much as I don't enjoy the fact that Dr Voodoo: Avenger of the Supernatural was cancelled, I am pretty happy to see this awesome cover for this month's one-shot featuring the last Sorcerer Supreme, Dr Stephen Strange.

The Mystic Hands of Dr Strange #1 - Marvel
Artist: Lucio Parrillo

I would have been stoked for a Dr Voodoo one-shot too, though.

Lazy Sunday #3: The Invincible Iron Man "Textbook" Covers

Happy Sunday, readers!  You know what Sunday means, right?  Yep, another Lazy Sunday post.  This week's post focuses on the stupidly incredible Invincible Iron Man covers by Salvador Larroca.

I'm not entirely sure if "textbook" is the correct term for these covers but that's the sort of book that these images conjour in my mind when I look at them.  These covers were used for the recent Stark: Disassembled arc and I've also included the breathtaking Deadpool Variant cover to Invincible Iron Man #23.

Here is the cover of Invincible Iron Man #20, look under the cut for the rest of the covers and prepare to have your mind blown.

Invincible Iron Man #20 - Marvel
Artist: Salvador Larroca

Like I said before (and I wasn't joking), prepare yourself for a mind blowing.

S.W.O.R.D. #5

Well, this is a sad post.  One of the most beautiful covers of 2010 so far was used to cap Kieron Gillen's prematurely cancelled series S.W.O.R.D.  Everyone pick this up in TPB format when it is released later this year - you won't regret it!

S.W.O.R.D. #5 - Marvel
Artist: Michael Del Mundo

Michael Del Mundo also did a lovely job of S.W.O.R.D. #4's cover too.  Check it out.

The Twelve: Spearhead #1

I haven't read the first 8 issues of The Twelve that were released before this On-Shot (I am about to order them on eBay, however...) but I needed to buy this.  Why?  WWII imagery, of course!  Well, not just that to be fair; this cover is incredible and the art inside is just as beautiful.

The Twelve: Spearhead #1 - Marvel
Artist: Paolo Rivera

I can't wait to read issues 1-8, but I'm sure that it will just anger me that the series was abandoned so heinously in the middle of its run.  There's an ad for The Twelve #9 in the back of this Spearhead One-Shot, so I guess that there is still hope that the full original series will emerge in 2010.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Breaking Into Comics The Marvel Way #1

Wow.  This is a stunning cover.  I didn't buy this comic (and from what I've read elsewhere I didn't miss much!) but that cover is so tempting.

Breaking Into Comics The Marvel Way #1 - Marvel
Artist: Matteo De Longis

Aside from the terrible name I also hear that the comic offers up no information or tips on breaking into the industry at all.  It's just a simple anthology comic.  Why does it have this name?  Just call it Marvel New Artist Showcase or something.

Girl Comics #1

Well, a Marvelite like me couldn't go for a full week without posting a single Marvel cover, could I?  Let alone one this good.

Girl Comics was an interesting and fun read, but I still don't get why Marvel decided to focus on a completely female-created book.  I think that in this current society there is no need to focus on the gender of any creator.  Anyway, forget my rambling, enjoy the cover!

Girl Comics #1 - Marvel
Artist: Amanda Conner & Laura Martin

The only bad things I can say about this cover is that Captain America looks kind of un-fazed by the situation and Sue Richards looks like she's completely crazed.

The Great Ten #5

Stanley Lau gets his second post in a week (the first cover being for The Web #6) - here is his cover for The Great Ten #5.

The Great Ten #5 - DC

Artist: Stanley 'Artgerm' Lau

I love this cover simply because of the Russian imagery (I love communism-inspired art just as much World War II-inspired art) and the grey on red contrast.  It really reminds me of Skottie Young's cover for The Marvelous Land of Oz #3, too, even though they are both extremely different styles.  I demand more covers like this!

First Wave #1

So after what seems like months of previews and teasers we have finally seen the release of First Wave #1, DC's answer (in some respects) to the Marvel Noir series of comic books.  I really like Batman and The Spirit on this cover but Doc Savage is also pretty sweet - look at that fat silencer!

First Wave #1 - DC

Artist: JG Jones

That graveyard scene is perfect, I love the ominous yellows and the red of Spirit's tie with the big moon - it looks like a mystery comic rather than a pulp comic.

Lazy Sunday #2: JH Williams III's Detective Comics Cover Masterclass

As promised in my post showcasing Detective Comics #862, here is a special extended Lazy Sunday post highlighting JH Williams III's insanely beautiful Detective Comics covers.  So, without further ado, I present to you Detective Comics #854 (the start of the Batwoman Elegy arc).  See the covers to issues #855-863 under the cut.

Detective Comics #854 - DC
Artist: JH Williams III

Check under the cut for the rest of the covers.

Jonah Hex #53

A strong week from DC and it's various imprints is kind of epitomised by this stupidly cool Jonah Hex cover as drawn by Billy Tucci.  It's palette and imagery is perfect, and you can never go wrong with some wild west showgirl action.

Jonah Hex #53 - DC

Artist: Billy Tucci

Check out the links below for more Jonah Hex goodness.

Previously on CBCAD: Jonah Hex #52, Green Arrow and Black Canary #29.

Astro City: The Dark Age Book 4 #2

Astro City's The Dark Age (Book 4) limited series continues with this incredible cover from Alex Ross.  The iconic Las Vegas cowboy (Vegas Vic) in the background instantly gives you a sense of scale and location, and the colours of the sky and the pop of the neon hint perfectly at a Nevada sunset.

Astro City: The Dark Age Book 4 #2 - Wildstorm

Artist: Alex Ross

The fact that it looks a bit like a scene from Tron as seen during an acid trip just makes this cover all the more appealing.

Detective Comics #862

It's almost a cliché to post a JH Williams III cover and highlight it as one of the best of the week, but how can I not?  Check out the vertical blood split and the reflections in the knife blades.  The palette is kind of understated, but it pops at the same time.  Insanely good.

Check out JH William's III blog for more info on this cover (including the black and white pre-colour version and the logo-ified version).

Detective Comics #862 - DC

Artist: JH Williams III

I may have to go back and highlight some recent Detective Comics covers in the coming days (perhaps in a Lazy Sunday post).  The current run (driven by JHW3 on all art until recently) was stunninng.

Avengers: Initiative #33 & Thor #607

I know I've said in the past how much I hate that Marvel's Siege covers are eaten up by the huge "Siege" banner and here are two more sterling examples of why they shouldn't be.  Thor (or maybe it's Clone-Thor on the front of Thor #607) and Taskmaster are two of my favourite characters so it's good to see them in their full bad-assery.

Avengers: Initiative #33 - Marvel

Artist: David Yardin

Thor #607 - Marvel

Artist: Mico Suayan

These covers are awesome, but I just wish we'd be able to see a full cover rather than a massive pink strip with a cross-over event's name emblazened on it.

The Web #6

As with most of the DCU, I don't know much (or even anything!) about The Web, but I love this cover.  The wings are awesome and those googles are great.  It may very well just be the green and gold, but he reminds me of Iron Fist, too.

The Web #6 - DC

Artist: Stanley 'Artgerm' Lau

I also love that skyline - the greeny blacks are perfect.  I might have to check this series out.

Flash: Rebirth #6

A bumper week for Marvel this week put us in danger of being labeled a Marvel sycophant zone, so I thought I'd better treat you to this nice Flash: Rebirth cover.  While I like the cover, I keep getting drawn to Flash's weird droopy leg muscles... it is like he is melting.  Less of that next time please, Mr Van Sciver!

Flash: Rebirth #6 - DC

Artist: Ethan Van Sciver

Apart from the melty muscles, this cover is boss, though.

Lazy Sunday #1: The Best of the Recent Deadpool Variant Covers

Happy Sunday!  This is the first of my "Lazy Sunday" posts.  You'll notice that it is longer than one of my normal posts and focuses on a little bit more than just the cover of a certain issue of a certain comic.  We'll see how this goes!  On with the show...

Someone loves Deadpool at Marvel.  He has three ongoing series, is popping up all over the Marvel U and stars on 21 Variant Covers this month!  Comics Alliance has a great Deadpool Variant Gallery that you should check out.  The covers range from fairly mediocre (Wolverine: Savage #1) and weird (Dark Wolverine #83) to insanely awesome (Avengers: The Initiative #33).  It was hard to pick a favourite from this multitude of comic covers. but here it is:

Amazing Spider-Man #620

Artist: Pasqual Ferry

From a pure parody perspective it is really fantastic but, aside from that, it also embodies Deadpool perfectly in one wedding-crashing image.

Of course, this is a parody of ASM Annual #21 by John Romita Snr, which you can see under the cut.

X-Factor #202

If the last X-Factor cover was Doom-tastic, well, this one is... Doom-credible?  Maybe that doesn't work, but the sentiment is there.  Put Dr Doom anywhere near any aspect of a comic and it generally turns out well.  Other non-Doom thoughts?  It is good to see a cover of X-Factor featuring the team but without Madrox on it.

X-Factor #202 - Marvel

Artist: David Yardin

(Previously: X-Factor #201)

Spider-Man: Clone Saga #6

I've not been following this Clone Saga "reboot", so I don't know if Chris Cross is going the interior art on the comics or not, but this cover is just great!  The webbing everywhere, the depth of the background and the "Don't Thwip" crossing sign are all awesome, but what really makes this cover great is the muted palettes in the background and then the contrast and pop on Spidey and the Scarlet Spider.

Spider-Man: Clone Saga #6 - Marvel

Artist: Chris Cross

Scarlet Spidey is wearing an attractive hoodie/tank-top hybrid on this cover, I'm sure you all agree.

Ms Marvel #50 [Updated]

As Marvel's "Heroic Age" gets through the final planning stages more and more books seem too be biting the dust.  For the last in the current volume of Ms Marvel it looks like a whole host of heroes will turn up.

Ms. Marvel #50 - Marvel

Artist: Sana Takeda

I'm most happy about noticing Dr Voodoo - Hopefully Marvel will continue to have him appear in books over the next few months and re-launch his title further down the line (as they did with Agents of Atlas); he's already turned up in Deadpool: Merc With A Mouth #7 & #8.  But, hey, I'm not holding my breath.

UPDATE! It turns out that this is actually a parody of the cover of Marvel's first ever graphic novel The Death of Captain Marvel.  Having now read the issue I can confirm that the only hero that turns up is actually Spider-Man.  No sign of Jericho Drumm anywhere.

Anyway, check under the cut for the cover that this is based on!

Azrael #5

I won't lie, I don't know too much about Azrael, but what I do know is that this cover is bad-ass.  I love the blending and the whisp of ripped fabric especially.  It reminds me a lot of the artwork in Assassin's Creed.

Azrael #5 - DC

Artist: Francesco Mattina

This is the latest in a short line of cool white-base covers from the folks at DC.  Check out a couple of other here: Green Arrow and Black Canary #29

Incredible Hercules #141

This has been out for a week now, and the solicits didn't really make too much of a secret of the end of this comic, so I don't think that me saying OMG HERC IS DEAD!!! is going to count as too much of a spoiler.  Sorry if it does count.  What an awesome cover for the final issue (for now) of Incredible Hercules.

Incredible Hercules #141 - Marvel

Artist: Marko Djurdjevic

As I have said before, covers shouldn't be encroached by Crossover/Event banners (Siege being the current main offender) - the print issue of Herc #141 has a huge "Assault on New Olympus" banner down TWO SIDES of the issue.  What a waste of space!

Hulk #20 and Incredible Hulk #607 (Variants) [Updated]

I don't read either Hulk book, so I can't comment on their quality, but when I get to see connecting variant covers staring both Red Hulk and Green Hulk SMASHING some other Marvel heroes I have to be thankful for their existence.

Hulk #20 & Incredible Hulk #607 - Marvel

Artist: Marko Djurdjevic

I like that these came out in the same week as each other - they would have looked awesome next to each other on the shelves.

[UPDATE: I combined the two images for you lucky people!]

Joe The Barbarian #2

Grant Morrison's new Vertigo 8 part series Joe The Barbarian kicked off last month for thunderous critical applause and issue 2 seems to be garnering hefty praise too.  Here is the cover:

Joe The Barbarian #2 - Vertigo

Artist: Sean Murphy

Sean, Grant - keep up the good work.

Black Widow & The Marvel Girls #4

I'm a sceptic of this series simply because it just focuses on the women of the Marvel universe.  Don't get me wrong, I love them all, but why just focus on all-girl team-ups?  That being said, I'll eat my words because this cover is pretty badass.

Black Widow & The Marvel Girls #4 - Marvel

Artist: Salvador Espin

Storm.  Gotta love her; she has lightning.  Black Widow only has a stupid gun.

Doctor Voodoo: Avenger of the Supernatural #5

A moment's silence please for the passing of Doctor Voodoo: Avenger of the Supernatual.  Killed before it's time by Marvel, this is the last issue of this series that, along with an awesome story arc, has given us some sweet covers.  This, though has got to be the best of the lot:

Doctor Voodoo: Avenger of the Supernatual #5 - Marvel

Artist: Marko Djurdjevic

How sweet is that?  Dr Doom and the Sorcerer Supreme together at last!  RIP DV:AotS.

Batman: Streets of Gotham #9

Seriously, how good is this cover?  It is so awesome I could cry.  The bats.  Batman merging with that bat.  Robin.  The Bat-symbol containing a continuation of the skyline.  It is insanely sweet.

Batman: Streets of Gotham #9 - DC

Artist: Dustin Nguyen

If my pull list wasn't so full this would be on it for the cover alone.  Beautiful.

Daredevil #505

Recent covers of Daredevil have focused on dark scenes of Matt being broody (hey, he's good at it, I guess!) on a rooftop or secluded place somewhere and have had fairly dark paletted night-time art.  As such, I was surprised to see this stunner for issue 505.

Daredevil #505 - Marvel

Artist: Paolo Rivera

Pretty boss.  I was getting severely bored of Esad Ribic's covers (they were good but... they were so samey), so welcome Mr Rivera!

Blackbeard: Legend of the Pyrate King #3

I decided to dive back into the solits for the past week for today's cover - back to the well known series (ahem) Blackbeard: Legend of the Pyrate King(!).  Comic Book Resources reviewed this comic and gave it a 1.5/5 (actually quite a good score at CBR... they probably gave Demo #1 a 2/5).  I like this cover despite the girl's stupid tribal tattoo and the "pyrates" looking like goblins.  I wonder why...

Blackbeard: Legend of the Pyrate King #3 - Dynamite

Artist: Lucio Parrillo

Maybe it is my penchant for beer, green outfits and breasts that draw me towards this?  I'll definitely check out the cover of #4 next month; I hope it is as epic as this one.

Deadpool: Merc With A Mouth #8

The comic book pickings were fairly slim this week, so I'm eating into the solicits from this coming Wednesday already!  Here's another awesome movie poster parody for Deadpool: Merc With A Mouth.  This month it's One Million Years BC that gets the honour.

Deadpool: Merc With A Mouth #8 - Marvel

Artist: Arthur Suydam

My favourite is still the Alien parody from MWAM #6, but this is still awesome.  I love Deadpool and the Hydra agent (Bob?) in the background!

Check after the cut to see the original poster... and a picture of Raquel Welch in a pre-historic bikini.

Green Arrow and Black Canary #29

You don't usually see very many white covers, but this (along with Jonah Hex #50 - under the cut) DC have bashed out a couple of stunners lately.  Here's Green Arrow and Black Canary #29.

Green Arrow and Black Canary #29 - DC

Artist: Ladrönn

Happy Valentines Day, Green Arrow!  Check the cut for Jonah Hex #50.

The Shield #6

I'm a bit of a sucker for WWII inspired imagary in comics, so I have enjoyed the recent covers of The Shield immeasurably.  Here is The Shield #6.

The Shield #6 - DC

Artist: Sami Basri

These covers are just so awesome.  This is the second in the series by Basri, so as a nice Saturday bonus I've also got The Shield #5 for you under the cut...

Justice Society of America #36

It isn't often that a cover of a book that I don't read grabs me, but here is one for Justice Society of America that is insanely cool.  Check it out:

Justice Society of America #36 - DC

Artist: Jesus Merino

JSA #36 is out on the 24th Feb.  JSA #37 has a cover that goes with this on the right to create a Nazi vs USA superhero montage, but I'll leave that for next month!

Batman and Robin #8

I told you I'd post again today.  Here is the cover of Batman and Robin #8.  Cameron Stewart has done a great job of the content within but the master Frank Quitely spoils us with the cover.

Batman and Robin #8 - DC

Artist: Frank Quitely

Bosh - resurected badass Batman coming for Batman and Batwoman.  Sweeeet.

S.W.O.R.D. #4

I missed yesterday due to a busy, busy day and a trip to the comic shop, so I'll post twice for you to make your Friday even better?  Deal?  Good.

Here's the cover to S.W.O.R.D. #4.  I read this on the bus this morning and it is truly an outrage that S.W.O.R.D. has been cancelled so early in its run.  Pick it up if you can.

S.W.O.R.D. #4 - Marvel

Artist: Michael Del Mundo

S.W.O.R.D. #5 also has a cover from Mr. Del Mundo, and it is even better than this one.  Come back in a few weeks and I'll show it to you.

Amazing Spider-Man #620

Well, Marcos Martin continues his sterling work on Amazing Spider-Man's covers this week with Spidey smashing Mysterio's glass helmet in a sea of red.  Truly quite spectacular.

Amazing Spider-Man #620 - Marvel

Artist: Marcos Martin

Is Marcos doing next week's cover too?  He should be made resident Spidey cover illustrator, in my opinion.

(Previously: ASM #619)

Monsters & Dames 2010

Two posts in one day?  You lucky people.  As you may have noticed form the title of this post this isn't about comic book covers, however, it is about comic book art and a good cause.

The Emerald City ComicCon is producing another charity art book - Monsters and Dames 2010.  The run is limited to 850 copies, so if you're going to the Con (I am not) definitely pick one of these up.  All proceeds go to the Seattle Children's Hospital.

Monsters & Dames 2010 - Cover

Artist: Jo Chen

Boss, I'm sure you'll agree.  Check after the break to see my favourite from the preview set.
