This is the last Wednesday night EYG Favorite Comic Covers of the Week as I have to return to the classroom and will not be able to get both the books at Comic World and In This Issue in the same day like I did this summer. The plan is to move the post to Thursdays starting next week.

For the last Wednesday, we have some great covers.

Also-Rans: Infernal Hulk #10 (A cover & F cover), Absolute Batman #23, X-Men #35, The Punisher #7, Exquisite Corpses: Rascal Randy #2, D’Orc #7, Hank Howard in The Fair Play #1, Clayface: Celebrity Dirt Story #2 (C Cover), Batman & Robin Year One: Dynamic Duos #1 (D cover), Venom #260 (Cover B), Laugh Vol. 1 #166 facsimile (Cover C & D).

Bronze Medalist

Of the Earth #4

Cover art by Charlie Adlard

I had a hart time with the final choice this week, but the blue/black cover really stood out and those eyes are very amazing.

I am not sure what the black across the face is, but it is truly compelling.

Silver Medalist

Barbara Gordon: Breakout #4

Variant cover E

Cover art by Mark Spears

This beautiful cover by Mark Spears is one of the best images of Barbara Gordon I have ever seen and her orange prison attire against the black background really makes this stand out.

Gold Medalist

Miles Morales: Spider-Man #1

Variant Cover B Foil

Cover art by Pere Perez

A stunning foil variant cover that I picked off the stands this morning. The gold foil behind Miles is just amazing and I love the black background and white title. I did not think anything was beating Spears’ Barbara Gordon, but this was just undeniable.
