August 20

Here we are, back on Thursday nights. And it is a big week of covers. Legitimately, there are a bunch of covers that could be in this medal round. There were three exceptional Something Epic covers and a Mark Spears that wound up on the outside looking in.

Also-Rans: Something Epic #14 (Cover A, B, C), The Phantom vs. the Singh Brotherhood #1, Mortal Thor #800 (Cover A), Avengers Armageddon #3, Daredevil #5, Punisher vs. the Amazing Spider-Man #2, Nights #20, Absolute Flash #18, Absolute Green Arrow #4, War Wolf #8, and Nightwing #141.

Bronze Medalist

The Lucky Devils #9

Variant Cover B

Cover art by Steeve Seeley

This cool cover makes one of the Lucky Devils kind of look like Hot Stuff, which was one of my favorite characters of my youth. This is such a fun thing.

Silver Medalist

Uncanny X-Men #34

Cover art was done by Luciano Vecchio & Matthew Wilson

What an awesome look at Gambit. He sure looks like the Gambit we got at the end of season two of X-Men ’97. I love the black and white look with the red and green jumping off the cover.

Gold Medalist

Thor #800

Variant cover Foil

Cover art by Declan Shalvey

A beautiful foil cover for the 800th issue of Thor, here technically as the Mortal Thor. The blue of the cover truly stands out with the foil background. It is a beautiful piece of art.
