Greetings Semantinkers!

It’s that time of the month again, (get your mind out of the gutter!) Solicitations have returned to us, bringing wonderful art, and hope for the future. There are lots of great covers this month, but two really stuck out for me. The problem is that they are both from fairly large publishers. Fear not indy lovers, Uncle Ben has a nice surprise for you as well. So, let’s get started shall we?

Our first cover of the month goes to:

Skottie Young has been doing great work on the OZ books for Marvel, but this propaganda-style poster really stands out for me.

For our second cover of the month we turn to Top Cow, who isn’t really a small publisher, but the cover is really neat:

This cover from Tom Feister really does it for me. I just love the use of the shadow as a hiding place for the darklings. Heck, I’m just a sucker for darklings, but really, who isn’t?

Now, I did promise something for the Independent comic lovers out there, and I mean to deliver. The following is a piece of art from a very talented gentleman named Sean Chapman who I was fortunate enough to meet at last week’s A.P.E. Enjoy!

Thanks for stopping in, see you tomorrow!
