If it means I get to read new Valant comcs, I think it's everone's favorite cover of the year. It could be a crazed ugly man wearing a necktie and otherwise nude. If it gave me more Valiant, it would be my face comic cover of the last year.

Re: Favorite Modern Comic Covers
Well, I'm excited to say that I bought one of the covers that I posted in this thread. It's not the most expensive, nor the most extravagant one, but it's one of my favorites, no doubt.

And yes, Valiant should've been knocking on Ron Riley's door a long time ago for colors.

Re: Favorite Modern Comic Covers
I love this minimalist cover. It captures the emotion of the event perfectly. The red is a great touch:

Although, Marvel really could have done better by putting the barcode on the back cover or something.

Re: Favorite Modern Comic Covers
Both Captian Marvel (2013) #9 and Batwoman #17 have two of the most beautiful covers I've seen in a long time.

Re: Favorite Modern Comic Covers
while all the covers shown have great art, what ever happened to the idea of the cover describing what was happening in the book??? To grab your attention and say "HEY...CHECK IT OUT! IN THIS ISSUE..."
Is it just me or has that been entirely lost?
IDK...
