Dec. 12

Surprise. A second Favorite Cover of the Week post. As you know, the Wednesday order at Comic World only included DC books. I got a call from Todd today saying that “the new phone books are here!” quoting The Jerk, of course. The remaining part of the missing order arrived and I went down to pick them up.

Because of that, I am going to do a second group of medalists with these books.

Bronze Medalist

The Exorcism at 1600 Penn #2

Cover art by Vanesa Del Ray

Looks creepy as can be as a Presidential family portrait has a special shadowy hand crawls across the top of the pic, near George Washington. This has been such a successful book when it comes to cover art.

Silver Medalist

All-New Venom #1

Cover art by Iban Coello 

You can never go wrong with some golden foil. The brand new Venom gets the special cover treatment with this lovely gold foil. Even his webbing looks to be golden too. Too bad the gold foil only got the silver medal.

Gold Medalist

The Art of Something is Killing the Children Companion

Cover art by Werther Dell’Edera

Is it ironic or expected that a book of art from Something is Killing the Children gets the gold medal for its cover? Either way, this is a sensational cover featuring Erica Slaughter coming out of the darkness. The art inside is beautiful too.
