This is the final, official EYG Favorite Comic Covers of the Year. After this one, I will compile the year’s winners for the Year in Review. While it is a foregone conclusion which artist is going to be the Gold Medalist, Silver and Bronze are up in the air, and the Medalists for the Best Comic Covers (Regular and Variant) are up for grabs as well.

Also Rans: Survive #4, Space Ghost #6, The Mortal Thor #5 (A Cover), Superman: The Kryptonite Spectrum #5, Black Cat #5, and Power Fantasy #14 (B cover).

Bronze Medalist

The Mortal Thor #5

Knullified variant

Cover art by Netho Diaz

The Knullified Variant cover gives us a powerful image of Thor with the lightning and the rain around him. This was a book that attracted me off the stands, as I had already bought the A cover for Mortal Thor #5. Beautiful work.

Silver Medalist

Exquisite Corpses #8

Variant Cover D

Cover art by Jorge Fornes

Another book that I saw on the shelf and my exact thought was… “What is that?” I saw that other variants of Exquisite Corpses were around this book, so I guessed it was that one. Another gorgeous cover that many weeks would be #1. However….

Gold Medalist

Mark Spears Monsters #8

Blind Bag Foil Variant Cover A63

Cover art by Mark Spears

I picked up one blind bag at Comic World and as I opened it up, I saw the foil on the back and I got really excited. This cover is 1:666 (funny) and it is stunning. The clown is always a personal favorite and the foil only made it all the better.
