Every week there’s a real horny that hits the stands of new comics. Readers often know exactly what they are most interested in (they have their pull lists sitting in the reliable hands of comic shops), but they are sometimes told about opposing that old trim and judging the book by its cover.
Some truly amazing cover art hits every week. These were the ones that caught Colin’s eye for the week of March 12th, 2025.
Action Comic #1084
Variant by Jerry
With the announcement of the Superman film trailer and the new Crypto: The Last Dog of Crypton series, we were part of the new Crypto Golden Era. Then, for this fun Jé Lee cover, the perfect timing that jubilant superfur has. . . It destroyed the entire city and killed probably thousands.
Lee casts many loving details on the Fortress of Solitary, from free-flying Candrians to perhaps shielded Hank Cryptonites (various colors). Even in most tragic massacres of surviving Cryptonians, it’s a fun cover.
DC vs. Vampire: World War V #7
Variants by Santa Fung
I’ve included a lot of cool skull art in this column. And this isn’t even my first skull castle, as I took over this column. And that’s not even the appeal of this cover (though that helps): the powerful, gory, and potentially scary take against Wonder Woman is absolutely a killer.
Hal Hunter #4
Covered by Jonas Scharf.
Bucky and the burning bone boy in a big old tank are fighting the fascist. There is absolutely nothing to dislike about that concept. Sharf fills the image with so many motional, exaggerated energy. The Nazis fly everywhere. It’s positively thrilling.
Iron Man #6
Variant by Ian Bertram
There’s an incredibly punk on this Bertram Iron Man cover. This is an indie comic that is inherent to the colours in contrast to the scratch line. The new Iron Man design, which appears to come from a medieval fantasy, supports his huge, ridiculous sword. Here, Bertram adds a small master of cosmic energy.
The Moon Follows Us #7
Cover by Riley Rosmo
We that we follow were a non-stop barrage of strange dream creatures and fantastic fun. Series artist Riley Rosmo gives these creatures Panapoley on this cover. Frankly, I want to know all about these people.
Napalm Larabee #9
Variant by Carla Wyzgala
Artist Carla Wisegala has a very special aesthetic of “creepy fashion portraits,” creating a high fashion model with lots of pink, black and skulls. That aesthetic seems like a perfect fit for this Napalm Larabee character’s spotlight cover. I have missed this series despite all the hype so I don’t know who this woman is. Withgala portrayed her so cool, I think she’s very cool.
Spawn #362
Variants by Jeff Monk
Jeff Monk’s simple and terrifying covers represent the iconic spawn mask and the monstrous tone of the series. This makes the entire franchise feel celebratory and boils down into one simple, splashed image. The watermark on the included illustration board is a great touch, and it feels like the reader is dealing with the artifacts of creation rather than just a replica.
From a world of minor threats: Welcome to Twilight #1
Variant by Michael Allred
Comic artists feel a dynamic poppy like Michael Allred, a truly essential talent in the industry. I feel that everything he draws was made in some way from the very structure of the comic. There is a lot of history of illustrations wrapped in this craftsmanship. I feel that Allred is incredibly destructive in his tone, even if it’s just a simple scene from a signature table, images like this are full of meaning.
