Bronze Medalist

Amazing Spider-Man #33

Variant Cover C

Cover art by David Nakayama

I absolutely loved this moment in Spider-Man’s career, where he was forced into wearing an old FF costume with a paper bag on his head. The “Unknown Superhero!” This cover brought the nostalgia for me and one of my favorite moments of my childhood, which is why it gets the bronze medal this week.

Silver Medalist

Hello Darkness #23

Variant Cover B

Cover art by Jenny Frison

Hello Darkness continues to have some of the best covers. In fact, I believe I picked up three total covers for this book this week. Jenny Frison has had a great career making these kind of horror covers. The red is really a great standout cover.

Gold Medalist

Gambit: Wanted #1

Variant Cover B Foil

Cover art by Kris Anka

This is just gorgeous. The beautiful foil cover with the cards and the staff all charged up complements the dark background and the smile on everyone’s favorite Cajun. This new mini series had several awesome covers, with this being the top.
