My Cover of the Week 08-05-2013


Fearless Defenders #4

Publisher: Marvel Comics

Cover Artist: Mark Brooks

One of the ongoing highlights of this title from Marvel has been Mark Brooks, intriguing and incredibly fun covers. From a scene set in Street Fighter, to a shrink wrapped action figure, they have always jumped at me of the shelf. This has to be one of my favourite, giving me the urge to commit comic collector blasphemy and actually cut this cover out and put the different elements together. The details in this cover from the tabs to the plushie Thor, and the instructions to "Cut cape away from armour", where are the scissors? I have long debated about whether the covers should be drawn by the interior illustrator and also have relevance to the story that will be taking place in the issue. But Mark Brooks covers are a great argument against that theory with these beautiful and fun covers and I always look forward to seeing what he comes up with next!
