My Runner-Ups for the Cover of the Week 20-03-2013

So I have some honorable mentions who were runners up for the cover of the week. There were so many great covers out this week and I just wanted to showcase a few more of my favourites, so here we go;

New Avengers #4

Cover By: Jock

One of the highlights of this current arc of New Avengers by Jonathan Hickman and Steve Epting are the accompanying covers by Jock. Every cover that has been released so far has just looked gorgeous. Jock is, in my opinion, one of the best cover artists out there and I hope these covers keep coming for New Avengers and more. Also it is worth making a note that in the June solicitations for Image comics Jock will be doing a variant cover for Jupiters Legacy #2 can not wait to see what this cover looks like!







Saga #11

Cover By: Fiona Staples

One of the break out artists of the past year. Fiona Staples has been creating some of the most beautiful art to accompany Brian K Vaughan's wonderful Space Opera. This cover has so much more emotion to it considering the outcome of the issue. A grandfather intricately working and creating something beautiful. If you haven't been collecting Saga, then you should really grab it in TPB as the art is gorgeous and well the story is one of those that has you coming back to find out more every issue.





Doctor Who Prisoners of Time #3

Cover By: Francesco Francavilla

Francesco Francavilla is currently creating some of the most beautiful covers and interiors in the industry. How the man manages to create the amount of work he does is beyond me. And being a huge Doctor Who fan, Francavilla has been drawing great covers for this series with an issue out each month featuring a tale for each regeneration of the Doctor to celebrate Doctor Who's 50th anniversary. If you love these covers then be sure to check out his Blog where he draws a poster after each episode of Doctor Who, and they are all great. I am making the effort to grab each of these covers. My understanding is they will all interlink, and you just know the final image from the 12 issues will look incredible.


So there's my honourable mentions. Not long now till another great week of comics arrive!
