Week of June 17

It is time to award the medals this week for the new comic covers. Now, usually, there is one book’s cover that jumps out and is the clear winner. However, this week, though there are several really good covers, there is no one cover that jumps out as the gold medalist. That meant that I had to go back and forth between the three choices.

Here are the medalists:

Bronze Medalist

The Immortal Thor #12

Cover art by Alex Ross

Alex Ross is back once again. He is most likely our cover artist of the year as he has won multiple medals this year. His work is always so epic and that fits the tone of Thor brilliantly.

Silver Medalist

Blow Away #3

Cover art by Annie Wu

I have typically loved the white on covers and this snow cover looks beautiful, with the blue tint around it. I also love the long shadow coming off the figure in the snow. This is a beauty of a cover.

Gold Medalist

The Oddly Pedestrian Life of Christopher Chaos #10

Cover art by Nick Robles

The shades of blue on this cover really work well together with the two red circles on the goggles. I’m really not sure what the cover is showing, but I am excited to see what it is.
