Buffy The Vampire Slayer Season 8 #40

Buffy The Vampire Slayer comes to a close with issue 40 of the comic book.  This series represented what aparently would have been the final season of Buffy The Vampire Slayer: the TV show.

Buffy The Vampire Slayer Season 8 #40 - Dark Horse
Artist: Jo Chen

Loving the sadness in her face (I guess because it is the end) and the painted look.  Jo Chen also did the cover of Monsters & Dames 2010 and it is equally as impressive.

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.

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.

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.
