Paul, no joke – the haiku for Captain Marvel is absolutely beautiful. Good stuff.
My thoughts exactly. Your eloquence continues to impress.
That cover of SAGA was made even better by the fact that the cover of every other book I bought was dominated by black.
I like the haiku and the covers. That Baltimore book was outstanding.
Excellent work, Paul!
Sam Keith!! Blast from the past.
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.
Great choices of covers.
I come for the covers, I stay for the haiku’s.
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 . . ?
You can.
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!
I’m a massive Filipe Andrade fan, so I dig the current interior art as well.
I liked the rougher look the interiors had where her mask forms around her face kinda machine like. No more Dexter Soy?
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”
