June 5

This is another big week of books with a bunch of choices. I’m not even including the beautiful variant C cover for Pop Kill #4 by J. Scott Campbell because, though I did buy it, it was not for me. It would have definitely been in the conversation.

Because this is the second week with tough decisions, I have instituted a new section called the Also-Rans. These are the covers that were in consideration, but did not quite earn a medalists.

Also-Rans: Amazing Spider-Man #5 (Cover A), Ultimate Spider-Man: Incursion #1 (Foil Variant), Be Not Afraid #1 (Virgin Cover), and Amazing Spider-Man #5 (D Cover)

We also have a second time ever TIE for the bronze. I just can not choose between the final two so…

Medalists…

Tie!

Bronze Medalists

The Terminator #8

Cover art by Declan Shalvey

I love this cover with the different grey squares as the Terminator skull is in the background. The Terminator covers have been solid during this run, but this is the first to medal.

Tie!

Mark Spears Monsters #5

Variant Cover C

Cover art by Mark Spears

Mark Spears continues his domination of the Favorite Covers of the Week with yet another awesome Monsters cover. The werewolf is wonderfully scary and I love the Todd McFarlane homage.

Silver Medalist

The Immortal Thor #24

Cover art by Alex Ross

This is a powerful image of Thor, done by the one and only, EYG Hall of Famer, Alex Ross. The lightning coming off Thor and mixing with the title is fabulous. Love this.

Gold Medalist

Return of the Living Dead #4

Cover art by Mark Spears

Brains! They are tasty… but not near as tasty as this new zombie cover from Mark Spears. There are so many details on his painting work that something as played out as zombies have an all-new feel to it.
