Like sand through the hourglass, these are the covers of comic books. Sometimes…granular.
Avengers: The Children's Crusade #2
Cover by Jimmy Cheung
Never before has the POV of a Sentinel during a fastball special been captured so…Cheungfully.
The Last Days of American Crime #3
Cover by Alex Maleev
I feel like a wolf in a zoot suit when I look at this cover. An incredible painting befitting a sexy sendup of pulp crime.
iZombie #5
Cover by Mike Allred
Perfect claustrophobic layout with that vibrant strip of pink amidst the darkness. The lighting is spectacular. It's like minimalist terror.
Brightest Day #9
Cover by David Finch
While I'm not big on the typography, I love this painting. Just a little martian manhunting. The organic textures are so creepily realized. It's scarier than 90% of the covers that came out of Blackest Night, that's for sure. I need a Choco.

You aren’t the only one in need of a Choco. That is an exceptional cover.
Paul, you are a pimp. It’s not but 8 am here in Baltimore, I’m at work, turn on my comp, and BAM! I get the covers of the week. Excellent way to start off the day. BD #8 and LDOAC #3 were def. the best of the week.
That Last Days of American Crime cover is MONEY!
"Forest Fire"? Really? "Martian Manhunt" is so obviously better than that as a tag line!
@jimmyF. I too am in Bmore and was happy to see this first thing! Welcome aboard!
Jonn Jon’z looks like Lennie from "Of Mice and Men" or Quasimoto. I like that.
I zombie….. Eat highly talented artistic brains……
Finch is getting Frazetta-esque
How did Finch do the cover with typography?
I dislike the text elements overlaid on the image, but they ultimately do little to sour the cover for me. Because I like the original painting.
I looked at the cover of Children’s Crusade and my first thought was "This better be on iFanboy when I get home" XD
I was hoping to see the first issue of the new Thor: For Asgard mini on here, Bianchi’s wrap-around cover is beautiful.
I found the socialist realist poster styling of the cover for "Iron Man: Legacy" to be quite cool.
