Cover of the Month: January

Happy Friday Semantinkerers!

First off, if you live in southern California, I hope that you are weathering the weather okay, it has been crazy this past week!, Secondly, it is time once again for another cover of the month feature, huzzah!

For our big guy cover of the month I actually have a couple of choices:

First, we have the cover to GARRISON #1 by Francecso Francavilla from DC/WILDSTORM. I love the use of negative space to define the main character, and the way the background montage gives us plenty of plot points to ponder until the book comes out.

My second choice is DEADPOOL #10 from Marvel comics and artist Arthur Suydam. Suydam is best known for his MARVEL ZOMBIES covers, but having the Merc with a mouth threaten me with silverware tickled me pink.

For the small publisher cover of the month I also had a tie this month:

I absolutely love this cover to ATOMIC ROBO AND THE REVENGE OF THE VAMPIRE DIMENSION #2. Scott Wegener handled the art for this book from Red 5. I love the whole Toy Story vibe that’s going on with this cover, and big robots always make me happy.

My last cover this month is OKKO: THE CYCLE OF AIR by Hub and Archaia comics. The use of color on this cover is amazing, very reminiscent of an old Japanese painting and the overall composition of this cover really did it for me.

Well, that’s it for this installment of Cover of the Month. Thanks for stopping in, I’ll see you tomorrow!
