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 25th, 2025.
Archie’s Pal Jughead #78 (Facsimile Edition)
Covers by Samm Schwartz and Bill Gavlan
This 1961 Jughead’s fantastic, old fashioned cover – pure silver age simplicity – a zombie version of the character explodes the letterhead. I love torn strips and can peek into the panels. Archie’s book is strange, and this makes them look even more strange.
Fantastic Four #33
Variants by Julia Romuruno
An incredible Disney fiction in the classic John Byrne cover of Fantastic Four #282, first released in 1985. The cover has an eye-opening digital reproduction effect that reflects the occasional use of digital assets of that time in the book. Here it looks aggressively outdated, and our Disney team somehow feels prestigious as a result.
Apocalypse’s Giant Age #1
Variant by Ivan Tarabela
It’s always a joy to see it blinking in the blink of an eye. She was a bright spot between the already beloved Apocalypse storylines, despite having little chance at Earth 616 – and it’s a joy to see a lovely feature cover. Tarabella captures her a kind of otherworldly.
Green Arrow #25
Variant by David Aja
No, you don’t suffer from the very specific Mandela effect. This certainly leans heavily towards the iconography and bold contrast with David Aja’s popular shooter. The other was purple, but that’s exactly the same as you remember. It takes a little longer than a palette swap, but the thrust is essentially the same: the bow and the skyline.
Harley Quinn #52
Variant by Eliza Besluk
Torque’s recent Harley cover is a comic, comedic man disease work, which continues to do so. The man on the phone certainly looks like he’s going to be a supervillain he’s going to look out for.
Incredible Hulk #26
Cover by Nick Klein
Nick Klein’s overall run on the incredible Hulk is like an EC Comic Fever dream, packed with terrifying little details and terrifying undertones. This cover really illustrates how the book feels, including the bone-forming, protruding, grotesque body horror and surreal abandoned space.
New History of DC Universe #1
Variant by Scott Cobrish
Scott Koblish is really knocking out these huge cast images out of the park. His recent X-Men interconnect wraparound was a real ice training where the Waldo-esque effort lies. Here he transforms his attention into the entire history of the DC universe. Get ready to be amazed at the number of people he can cram into a single image.
Uncanny X-Men #16
Variants by Alias
Another nice character spotlight is another name. Juve and her trademark fireworks will become bold against the city’s skyline. Such a cover can easily rekindle the love of a neglected character. If you haven’t seen Jubilee as a power player recently, this will help remind you of how dynamic she is.
