Week of July 15

It is that time once again to name our three medalists for the best covers of the week. There were some interesting covers this week, and I narrowed it down to our three. Two variant covers coming…

Bronze Medalist

The Immortal Thor Annual #1

Variant Cover-C cover

Cover art by Walter Simonson & Laura Martin

The legendary Walt Simonson, who wrote and drew one of the best runs of Thor’s comics, returned for one of the variant covers of this annual, which continued the Infinity Watch storyline. It is a classic.

Silver Medalist

Invincible Iron Man #20

Cover art by Kael Ngu

Iron Man and Emma Frost holding hands in their wrap up of their marriage. The cover represents how successful this marriage was for the plot with the armored hand of Iron Man and the diamond form of Emma. A fun design.

Gold Medalist

Namor #1

Variant Cover D

Cover Art by Alex Maleev

I love this cover. The awesome pic of Namor as he swims down into the water, with so much blue making the cover really stand out. The title of the book down at the bottom where Namor is swimming toward it. This is beautiful.
