Variant Covers for BATMAN AND ROBIN #19 and SUPERBOY #3 are Creepy and Awesome

On its blog, DC released a bunch of variant covers for up coming issues. Here are the two best:

The Batman and Robin #19 variant cover by Gene Ha is downright creepy. I don't know what it's all about but I'm excited (and scared) to find out! Dustin Nguyen's variant for Superboy #3 is just pleasingly striking.

  1. Awesome work! Top of their respective games.

  2. Wow. That Ha cover is pretty intense. I’m not usually a fan of his but this one’s pretty boneriffic.

  3. Damian just can’t stay out of trouble.

  4. Cool….very cool.

  5. Does Nguyen ever sleep? It seems like he does covers for every DC title. I love his work but I wish he would take a break so I can remember why I love his art.

  6. Holy shit, Gene Ha.  My god.

    We’re going to call this just a huge “Fuck you” to ol’ Fred Wertham. 

  8. @ChrisG  Agreed. That’s the best work Nguyen’s done in years.  For such a unique style, I feel like he’s become too commercialized, and hence, boring.

  9. Superboy’s new power: minimalist design
    Hope this trend continues with the covers

  10. Sorry for the double post, but its nice to see that even after Morrison Damian is still going to be kidnapped and brutalized in every arc 🙂

  11. dang it, i hate when i’m tempted by the variant covers that will no doubt be jacked up in price

  12. Wow that Superboy variant is just, WOW!

  13. Wow! I just love that Batman & Robin cover! 

  14. @incredibledave  not just Damian in this case. I notice Batman is behind him with his head also in a vice. Maybe another drill coming for him on the opposite side?

  15. Damian seems to be living up to the mantle of Boy Hostage.

    The Superboy cover is very striking.

  16. I love that Superboy cover, I’m an absolute sucker for interesting uses of negative space.

  17. I’ve been watching the Adam West Batman shows on the HUB, and almost every episode ends with a cliffhanger like the one on that B&R cover.

    And you know Damien isn’t screaming in fear in that over- he is actually cursing the woman out.

  18. “Zis is how ve say goodbye in Germany, Mr. Robin.”

  19. Woahdang. These are both fantastic. Really love the textures on both of them. It almost looks like the jeans on Conner are done with magic marker. I’m probably wrong but it’s such a bold color and has those thick strokes.

  20. I think I may put that Superboy variant cover up in a frame for a while if I see a copy, it’s very nice.
