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 June 4th, 2025.
Ghost Rider vs Garctus #1
Cover by Terry and Rachel Dodson and Variants by Declan Charby
When I was handed the key to a powerful machine that I was judging from the cover, I made sure my editorial overlords knew some of my more niche character obsessions. Did they warn them? Plus, were they okay with that? My hypothetical warning came to fruition this week. That’s a good week for me.
GI Joe: Real American Hero #317
Variant by Francis Portela
Negative. space. cover. Everyone gets one. You get it. She gets it. Scartlett gets one. Everyone gets one.
Imperial #1
Variant by Miguel Mercado
This spotlight on Deathbird has the energy of the Marvel Masterpieces Trading Card, and I’m here for that. That Deathbird is a very cool and niche character from Claremont’s old, creepy X-Men era. Imperial looks like a real treat.
Justice League vs Godzilla #1
Variants by Kevin Maguire
Many great Godzillas have been covered over the past few weeks, and this Maguire cover is primarily a cover that shows the monster’s scale against the tiny little sapes in the foreground. Maguire’s style has always been very unique, and here it falls into iconography. There’s something in Godzilla’s eyes, hundreds of small scales.
Kaya #27
Variants by Michael Walsh
For such a small character, this Walsh illustration makes Kaya look huge. Her big mecha arm has the influence of a big Jack Kirby, and all the energy that radiates her makes the image feel explosive and exciting. While somehow capturing the original Wes Craig style.
Poison Ivy #34
Variant by Joshua “Sway” Swaby
The truth behind the matter is that Vic Ivy has all the possibilities of a great terrifying villain. This cover is as scary as it is lush, and the main character of our book reads as a horrifying threat.
Thundercats #16
Variant by Ken Haeser
Sometimes you need a great homage cover. It leaps heavily towards Kevin Eastman’s hatchmark, making the 1984 aesthetic a lot more enjoyable.
