For the record, Jose did all the heavy lifting on this week’s Rate the Covers! post… And I can attest, it ain’t easy.
Thanks for all the hard work, Jose! Nice to see one of hottest posts back in action.
Did all those X-comics come out in the same week?
oh and the BRASS NIPPLES are back!
Ya, they are all coming out this week. Nice, huh?
Yeah, Marvels superb scheduling department running brilliantly as usual!
With all the hype for Marvel Now, I just assumed AvX was finished. It feels like that series has been going forever.
Heh, I thought the exact same thing a couple of weeks ago. I think there is still one more issue after this week. It does seem a bit ridiculous that that last six months of Marvel comics have been devoted to that shit.
In my opinion, Stumptown and Team 7 have the best covers. The first one conveys the typical “indie comic atmosphere” (it is something that can’t be explained, but those who read them can instantly see what I mean); the second one immediately enlightens the dynamic and plucky nature of the series.
I’m glad to know that Arcudi is writing a new series: he’s a wonderful writer.
The good ones:
Adventure Time Marcelin #3 Cover C
American Vampire: Lord of the Nightmares #4
It Girl and the Atomics #2
Shade #12
Stumptown Vol2 #1
The Activity#8
The Massive.
yeah It girl and The Massive are great, both books are on my trade-wait list.
Any idea who Mayhew photoshopped for the Jennifer Blood cover?
Mike Mayhew is the new Greg Horn. Why can’t the industry stop hiring hacks?
I love that Grifter cover. Who needs a thumb to hold a gun???
Thumbs r 4 LOOERZ!!1!
No thumbs aside, I think that is the worst cover of the week. It’s just terrible all around.
Someone compared the author of that cover, Rob Liefeld, with Jack Kirby: http://www.spandexless.com/2012/05/spandexless-reads-05-31-2012/. What do you all think about it?
I think that those are the writer’s opinions and I don’t agree with them.
Thank you for your reply! : )
While reading that article, I think I just had a HEART ATTACK for Locusmortis.
Thank you for your reply!
Pass me another bottle of RAGEAHOL!
Thank you!
I think it was an interesting piece of gonzo performance art, but I don’t think the authors truly believe half of what they were saying. There’s no way anyone who knows enough about comics to name check Moebius and Crumb thinks that Liefeld is 2nd only to Kirby. Also, the site is called “Spandexless” and the majority of the reviews seem to be indie/creator owned. I think they were having goofy fun by over praising Rob.
Probably you’re right. Thank you for your reply! : )
I think the It Girl variant looks fun. And even though I don’t read the comic, The Ultimate X-Men isn’t bad.
