Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Covers: Always Judge a Comic By One [56K no way]
Posts
this one is just hilarious
Also the original cover for that one you posted was hilarious too
We should probably stop before this turns into the transformers cover thread
not our fault there's a lot of dang good TF covers
besides, we've got another 98 pages, we're all good
Clayton Crain says thread over
except for bullseye.
fuck you doing bullseye?
Grimacing.
Iron Fist look the best there, the glow around his hands is the best depiction I've seen of his chi power.
Bullseye is just really happy to be on that cover.
You should read Immortal Iron Fist. That had some kickass covers, and it had some awesome interior art and an amazing story.
Covered is a neat blog. Artists do "covers" of comic book covers.

John Byrne with Terry Austin inks is some of the best art ever.
If I ever hit the lottery, I will buy every Cerebus cover done by Dave Sim and Gerhard, frame them and put them in my lavish foyer.
Possibly my favorite cover ever.
My second favorite Batman Cover
Xaquin's Manly Knitting Blog! Conquest Tactics .... a better CCG
Of course this cover is good:
And this one, where John Henry is smashing communism in the face, Steel style:
One of my favorite Batman covers, because Scott McDaniel is great but Batman actually getting shot, and seeing the bulletproof vest just makes Batman less godlike:
And also... are there really people that still use 56k?
Seriously, Abe Jenkins has never looked that good.

But I generally subscribe to the idea that comic covers should be more designer-ly, and less guys punching guys-ly. There was a meme that went around a while back, where video games were given Criterion Collection-inspired covers. I'd love for comic covers to have a similar aesthetic. Actually, the Umbrella Academy TPBs actually kind of have that same feel, I think.

This one is just effing ridiculous, for which I love it. <3 Nick Roche, in all of his different styles.
That's why I love the current Invincible Iron Man covers.

I could just keep posting and posting them.
Back with Human Torch #1 where he was basically a Humberto Ramos clone (the actual series was pretty good though, Kesel wrote it):
To Human Torch #12 where he started getting "funky":
To his New X-Men work:
To his Cable and Deadpool covers:
To the stuff Virral posted and his recent Iron Man cover:
Those could be filled with blank pages, I want them all!
Nightcrawler as a dunebuggy driving James Bond type character is an excellent idea that needs further exploring in the Xbooks.
This one in particular
As were the Iron Man: Enter the Mandarin covers.
That Mandarin #2 cover looks familiar, but I cannot recall what it could be based on.
