I really should be sleeping but since I am on the phone booking a hotel, here is this…
How is Ambush Bug: Year None #3 not a good cover? No, I got no answer to this, I really don’t know what could be wrong about this cover? It is just great and one reason I would snag it off the shelves so fast it would make yer head spin!
Oh and Keith Giffen talks AB:YN on CBR here:

Okay I haven’t put up a Cover Addiction in a while and this one wins! Great cover for Cat Staggs 2008 sketchbook cover (which is taking pre-orders and will be sold at Comic Con — YES! I am getting one!). Great cover of Dr. Girlfriend & The Monarch (from The Venture Bros.) which obviously was inspired by the famous Janet Jackson Rolling Stone cover.

Why do I love this cover for Guardians of the Galaxy #5? It’s a nice twist on the heroic pose #654 and from seeing the cover, I have a good idea of what will be happening inside the book which is important these days. I also love the Skrully background and the ground the Guardians are on is also the Skrulls fingers! Best cover from this weeks Marvel Solits!

Update: Joshua Middleton has done this wonderful art which I hope it is going to be a cover (or page?) ’cause WOW, its good. This will likely be a cover for Justice League of America as Kevin Melrose from blog@newsarama pointed out and not a mini-series as I had hoped (and first announced). I would prefer a mini by Middleton but I will take what I can get…
Joshua Middleton is going to be doing a Vixen mini-series and this is an amazing cover (or page?) and WOW. It is nice to see Vixen of the Justice League of America get her own series!

Great painted cover by Jon Foster. The cover has Dawn (I think?!), Buffy’s sister, storming through Tokyo as she is a giant in the current run/season on the book. The upcoming story has Buffy and the Scoobies off in a new adventure. This is an amazing cover that would also make for a great painting in my bat-cave! Check out Jon Foster’s great work on his website here:

This is not the best cover ever but it is very clever and a nice change up on the heroes posing. It does imply that The Order will be dealing with Namor which is always entertaining. I also like seeing the Golden Gate bridge in the background. Again a nice change of pace to the typical hero posing covers this title has had since issue #1.
My only twist is that Barry Kitson is getting that similar look and feel for all his heroes. This could easily be another Legion cover against another Legion baddie.

Now normally I would not think that Youngblood #1 is anything special but this cover works for me on many levels. First I like the innocence of the characters faces. Not what I would expect from this title and its past. Next the wall of former Youngblood covers is a nice touch. Yes this is hero pose #812 but it works. The real faces of the heroes makes me interested in picking up this issue and taking a peek inside. Also having Joe Casey writing it would help in my interest in the book!

Chris Weston does an amazing job on this cover for The Twelve #0. This is not your typical hero pose #34897 and each of the capes shown have such character in the imagery. Very Brian Bolandish! It is wonderful! Check out more on The Twelve here on CBR:
