Covers, covers everywhere, but not a drop to drink.
Wonder Woman #5 by Cliff Chiang
I’ve been searching for this damned thing in Pokemon Blue going on thirteen years now, but it keeps slipping through my fingers. Love the rich colors here.
Moon Knight #9 by Alex Maleev
Hulkamania, as ever, is running wild all over your house. The only real problem with this tremendous portrait is that once you get it in your head that this is “Dissociative identity disorder Smurf,” you can never go back.
Chew #23 by Rob Guillory
There is no jaw in Mudville–mighty Guillory struck ’em out.
Fables #113 by Joao RuasĀ
You’re still wincing at the “Casey at the Bat” pun, aren’t you? Here’s a Discworld reference.
Great stuff! I also liked Red Hood #5 for its composition, execution and contribution to the Good Snow Art genre.
I just wish the interior of Wonder Woman had looked like that. Bring back Chiang!
I thought Akins did a fine job.
I agree that Akins did well, but there is only one Cliff Chiang.
I actually thought that except for Diana’s face and Hera, everyone looked very close to their appearance with Chiang. That said I love Chiang’s work but I think Akins did very well.
I agree that Chiang is great, but for my money, Tony Akins is always welcome back if Cliff needs another break.
I too agree with the Akins love. Chiang is also amazing but you wont see me complaining about an Akins fill-in
Akins worked for me. That cover though, I love the sort of controlled wobbliness Chiang harnesses in his style.
Why is Dr. Manhattan dressed as Moon Knight?
I was thinking he looked more like the Mikaal Starman
I never read Starman so I forgot about that guy. But now that you mention it, I’m thinking yours is closer than mine.
My thoughts exactly.
That Chew cover is really fun. One of my favorites of the week.
makes me want to break my trade waiting and pick up this issue!!
Is it just me or does that Alex Maleev cover remind you of a Thomas Blackshear piece? It looks very similar to Blackshear’s style.
the Tiki
Better than a Thomas Kincaid …
that wonder woman cover is **awfully reminiscent** of japanese tentacle porn.
In that there are tentacles and a woman, sure.
i rest my case.
That image is just as much of a tentacle porn image as this one: http://babyanimalz.com/community/sites/default/files/images/baby-octopus.jpg
chris, you really should have posted a NSFW with that…
*cough*

I thought that Morning Glories cover was pretty impressive as well. Very eye-catching.
The Fables cover is amazing, as usual.
All great covers, 1st Fables issue I’ve read, stand alone story seemed a good time to get a taste for it and the covers on that book always catch my eye.
I have to say that Moon Knight cover was also probably my favorite this week.
And I also appreciate the Willy Wonka reference in the first line of this article.
