COVERS OF THE WEEK
Sometimes it isn’t the story that attracts you to the book, but an amazing cover. This week, we have some amazing pieces from an homage to Captain America #1 to more Skottie Young goodness to a series of covers from Rose Besch for DC Comics.
Cover aficionados will have plenty to feast their eyes on this week.
John’s person favorite is the run by Rose Besch–last week’s Batman and Poison Ivy are joined by this week’s Green Lantern. The most difficult question this week isn’t in our comic book trivia, but which book will be on the top of your reading stack.
Hopefully, you make it by Brainstorm Comics and Gaming this Wednesday to see and feel the excitement of New Comic Book Day. Once you do, you’ll see why Your Collection Starts Here! Don’t forget to put in your entries for the trivia. The only thing better than comics are free comics!
