Best Marvel Covers Oct 11
Marvel released their October 2011 solicitations and I’ve picked the best five to share with you here.
5. Punisher Max #18 by Dave Johnson. Johnson has a unique composition style that works well with every cover he tackles. A great use of negative space and a version of Elektra, possibly the most unattractive I’ve seen.
4. Captain America #4 by Steve McNiven. Classic action shot with modern colour treatment.
3. Casanova: Avaritia #2 by Gabriel Ba. How can I not feature killer pandas?
2. Secret Avengers #18 by David Aja. In my eyes Aja can do no wrong and this cover proves it. An awesome visual treatment with a faux film frames, off colour and grainyness.
1. Journey Into Mystery 629 by Stephanie Hans. This one just jumped out at me; composition and colour leap at the viewer. Stunning. I’ve never heard of Stephanie Hans but I’ll be watching closely from now on.
Scott VanderPloeg works in I.T. but lives to eat and read. Currently Editor-In-Chief of Comic Book Daily. His ramblings can be found at eBabble.
