June 12

Busy day. I almost forgot to do the medalists. I remembered just before I was going to go to bed. So I pulled the computer up and got to work.

Also Rans: Started the covers that did not make the medal round but were in consideration. Another great week of covers. The Also Rans included Batman: Dark Patters #7, Conan the Barbarian #21, Hello Darkness #11 (Cover D), Exceptional X-Men #10, Death of the Silver Surfer #1, and Resurrection Man Quantum Karma #3.

Bronze Medalist

Phoenix #12

Cover art by Lucas Werneck

What an unbelievably beautiful cover focused in on Jean Grey’s face and her fire bird in her hand. This is just an outstanding cover that makes you understand the power Phoenix brings to the book.

Silver Medalist

W0rldtr33#15

Cover art by Fernando Blanco

A close up on a face that looks like it has seen better days. It is a powerful image that makes you wonder what is going on in the story. The red blood stands out as does the green around the eyes. Jumps out at you.

Gold Medalist

Something is Killing the Children #42

Variant Cover B

Cover art by Tyler Boss

This may be another gimmick, but the glow in the dark cover of Something is Killing the Children is just beautiful. The black background makes the greenish-yellow color stand out all the more.

Better late than never………….
