Comments

  1. Paul, no joke – the haiku for Captain Marvel is absolutely beautiful. Good stuff.

  2. That cover of SAGA was made even better by the fact that the cover of every other book I bought was dominated by black.

  3. I like the haiku and the covers. That Baltimore book was outstanding.

  4. Excellent work, Paul!

  5. Sam Keith!! Blast from the past.

  6. I loved how JHW3 capped his big 17-parter story by having the last cover with her in fire. The first cover, she was in water.

  7. Great choices of covers.

    I come for the covers, I stay for the haiku’s.

  8. The Captain Marvel cover is quite striking, while Williams’ Batwoman was as lovely as always.

    Can I also make a case for Ross’ Shadow cover . . ?

  9. Glad you posted the Captain Marvel cover. The covers for that book are consistently awesome. I wish I could say the same about the interior art!

  10. The Shadow Year One had really cool covers and really liked Marcos Martins Nova and Morbius variants. I thought the GL New Guardians would’ve made it on the list. “Spectrum Overload”
