There are basically too many 5 star covers this week. If you fed them to a horse, that horse would choke. And horses can eat just about anything. Or maybe that's goats. I feel like I heard a story once about a horse that walked off with a small boy. Picked him up by the elbow and neither were ever seen again. They should be outlawed. Horses. Not elbows. Silly.
GI Joe Origins #21
cover by Tom Feister
It's the little Cobra pin on his lapel, ya know?
Thor For Asgard #4
Cover by Simone Bianchi
"I travel by rainbow. Got a problem with that? Didn't think so. Guy."
Batgirl #15
Cover by Dustin Nguyen
This one's all about technique and color. The richness of the rose wash on the buildings just behind Batgirl. The modeling of the stone. Just a lovely painting befitting a wonderfully revitalized character.
BPRD Hell on Earth #4
I've always loved Davis' haunting take on the Wendigo monster, and here he's showcased in as disturbing an image as ever. And Ben Daimo has never looked more badass. And he's turned into a big jaguar thing before, so that's saying something.
THUNDER Agents #1
Cover by Darwyn Cooke
THUNDER Agents is an update on a Wally Wood comic from the mid to late 60s. When things like this happen, Darwyn Cooke is summoned from the mid to late 60s to lend authenticity to the proceedings. He's usually just poured a drink, but he obliges them anyway. This could quite easily be a panel from New Frontier volume III.
Chew #15
Cover by Rob Guillory
This is where we get to figure out, through symbolic analysis, which beloved character turns out to be the Smoke Monster and which is a Cylon.

Kentucky would prefer it if you didn’t outlaw horses.
I love that G.I. Joe Origins cover. Perfect.
That G.I.Joe cover….. Day-umm!
Darwyn Goddam Cooke! Yessiree!
The THUNDER Agents cooke variant makes its way into the issue as a poster of all the older agents on a boardroom wall. very cool!
Fantastic GI Joe cover.
Great batch of covers this week, Paul!
Both Origins covers were slap-yo-mamma good.
That’s a great GI Joe Origins cover; but my money goes for Batgirl and Dustin Nguyen doing an amazing job with the coloring.
Got a feeling when I get to the shop today, I’m going to have to swap out my Cobra cover – my guys never seem to give me the cover I want.
I actually thought that Quietly’s cover was really strong as well.
Dustin does it again.
sick covers, cobra dresses like Ron Burgundy
Really been digging Chew, can’t wait til the next trade!!!
