September 4

It’s a big Batman week and Spider-Man reaches a Legacy milestone. This week we’ve got two variants in the medal winners, including one that I got, sight unseen.

Also-rans : All-New Venom 310, Cheetah & Cheshire Rob the Justice League #2, The War #2, Everything Dead & Dying #1, TexArcanum #2, and Batman #1 (Foil virgin variant).

Bronze Medalist

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #11

Cover art by Jorge Fornes

A fun cover featuring the TMNT crammed into the back of a police car. None of them look very pleased. This is a great storytelling cover for the Jason Aaron written series.

Silver Medalist

Batman #1

Blind Bag Foil Variant

Cover art by Julian Totino Tedesco

This came out of one of the Blind Bags that DC was selling for the celebration of the release of Matt Fraction’s Batman #1. What a beautiful piece of art with a fabulous foil. There are some wonderful foil variants for this new book and this one made an impression coming out of the polybag.

Golden Medalist

Amazing Spider-Man #11

Variant Cover H

Cover art by Lee Bermejo

Saw this on the shelf today and I had to have it. What a sensational cover. Lee Bermejo has a bit of Alex Ross flavor to it as the images in the spider web give background to Spidey’s life. Excellent work.
