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.

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.
