Week of August 5

Three medalists this week and they all come from the House of Ideas, Marvel Comics. I actually had a list of about six or so in the competition so it was a solid cover week.

Bronze Medalist

Incredible Hulk #15

Variant cover C

Cover art by Todd Nauck & Rachelle Rosenberg

Disco Dazzler cover! What more could you want than a sparkly Hulk on roller skates? Like most variant covers, this has zero to do with the story, but this cover was a ton of fun.

Silver Medalist

Avengers #17

Cover art by Joshua Cassara & GURU-eFX

Storm joins the Avengers and she is a major force on this Avengers cover. The lightning from her eyes is extremely dramatic and the colors of the cover are perfect for Ororo.

Gold Medalist

Uncanny X-Men #1

Cover art by David Marquez and Matthew Wilson

With all the relaunching X-Men books, Uncanny X-Men comes with the cover art featuring the hands of the members of the new team…each extremely distinctly X.
