Covers are what happen when we’re busy planning for other things.
T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents Vol. 2 #5
By Kenneth Rocafort
Mos Eisley meets Mallrats in this symphony of xenos scum and grand architecture. It’s a world without railings, so there’s your first sign this is a dangerous, unfeeling locale. Lush and cinematic. One of the extras is even staring right into the lens!
Prophet #23
By Farel Dalrymple
Incoming interior artist Farel Dalrymple showcases John Prophet’s most fascinating quality: His sheer nonchalance in the face — or wake — of relentless horror and weirdness. Prophet approaches each new obstacle in this deeply disturbing future-world without so much as a flinch. Such reactions are left to the reader. This? Just a dude camping next to a long-dead peer atop a heap of reptile corpses and refuse. Enjoying the broiled remains of…something really gross.
The Infinite Vacation #4
By Christian Ward
Explosive color and a totally apt multiple exposure effect. Alternate realities vying for dominance in a crowded frame. Jumps right off the stands.

Yeah man! I haven’t read a THUNDER Agents comic in years. If the inside looks as good as the cover, I might want to check that series out.
The cover for Infinite Vacation or whatever – wow. Just beautiful. I was reading a thread on Mike Mignola’s Facebook this morning about rates for comic artists and writers. After reading that and seeing some of the amazing work being produced, I’m ready for a price increase. We’ve got a generation of Van Goghs drawing our comics – dismissed and poor in their own lifetime.
That THUNDER Agents cover is amazing. Although these are all great covers, I would have included the Wonder Woman 7 cover.
Agreed. That THUNDER Agents cover is brimming with story. I can’t stop staring at it.
I dig the Wonder Woman cover too. I just don’t want to have the conversation about ‘holding hammers properly.’ Because I, though not yet 28, am tired and weary.
That’s a perfectly valid reason. That would’ve been a very long and soul crushing conversation.
Always nice to see some of the non-regulars make this feature. All three of these are wonderfully busy. Striking that balance between detailed and too busy is the true test of a cover artist.
Great covers. I also really enjoyed the Fiona Staples cover for Smoke and Mirrors.
I think I prefer Kenneth Rocafort as a cover artist then interior. Nothing wrong his his interiors, but I feel I enjoy his work when he does covers. Am I alone in this?
Agreed.
Cool covers! I liked the Ragemoor one the most though.
