Don’t go breaking my heart
You take the weight off me
Covers, when you knocked on my door
I gave you my key
This is what they mean when they say, “A block off the old chip.” Stop throwing rancid produce at me!
In all seriousness, what better visual metaphor for the Rez than a community set atop an uneven stack of poker chips?
This totally mod cover in its warm, geometric presentation has seduced me with more than just it’s ginger siren song. The clean presentation of this asymmetrical design makes for an alluring composition.
I really hope Abe doesn’t decide to try and hide that. Don’t be a hero, Abe. Go to a doctor or an ichthyologist right away and check off ‘suspicious rainbow colored tumor’ on the paperwork.
It always comes back to the frogs. We’ve long enjoyed Rossmo’s work on horror and science fiction titles, but this might be his boldest image yet. It’s like a sinister, Lovecraftian deviation of the caduceus symbol.
That Abe Sapien cover is a beauty.
That Green Wake one looks awesome, thought the guy was in a superhero uniform initially. What’s it about?
Murder mystery in a mysterious town. It’s GREAT stuff.
Also, #6 is the start of a new story so it’s a great spot to jump on.
Here’s a short audio interview I did with Rossmo about Green Wake from the beginning of the run.

Thanks lads1
Good call on Scalped.
That scalped cover works as an incredibly poignant editorial illustration….the sad state of affairs of Native American life these days. I just love how those poker chips work as a mesa.
That Scalped cover is absolutely incredible, but it’s Jock, so that’s obviously not a surprise. I also encourage everyone to check out the cover for Spider Island: Cloak and Dagger #3. Gorgeous.
Anyone reading Infinite Horizon? Somehow I totally missed the boat on that one, didn’t even hear about it till a few weeks ago and def didn’t know it had Phil Noto on art
yeah, that looks cool. Green Wake’s cover has got me interested. Might give it a check. Is it an ongoing? I don’t want to jump on at #6 of 8
Probably because the series started in 2007 and it has been coming out an issue or two a year since then.
If Jock isn’t nominated for an Eisner for best cover artist, I’m quitting.
Seconded (although my boss will probably be really confused when I tell him why I’m quitting).
This is a solid, solid list. I have the Red Skull cover as my cover of the week.
That Scalped cover is brilliant. I almost bought Green Wake of the cover alone.
I remember when I was at the store this week, the Infinate Horizon cover caught my eyes. Might have picked it up & flipped through it, but I already had to put back books, so . . .
