...Green Arrow really doesn't like Jim Lee's Justice League costume designs, does he...? (that's the solicited cover to Justice League #8)#2) Daredevil is one of the best mags on the market right now, stem to stern, and it starts with great covers:
And, as local comics shoppe curmudgeon Josh pointed out to me, the conceit works equally well if you turn it upside down:
Marvel kinda missed the boat by not releasing it that way as a variant cover (or even as the cover to the first part of the story, in Amazing Spider-Man...#3) Lyingest Cover Blurb Of The Week:
Yeah, right...this is DC, where heroes get to commit universal genocide and walk away with a shrug, a grin, and a "my bad."
Poor Ollie. He just wants to join SO BAD! I agree with the Daredevil cover, that's pretty fabulous.
ReplyDeleteAnd I have been avoiding the new Blue Beetle book like the plague. I like the OLD new Blue Beetle book with John Rogers SO much better.
I think Ollie's just irritable because he's been, in the words of Chris Sims, "Justin Hartleyed up".
ReplyDeleteDaredevil#8 is my candidate for cover of the year so far. But the year's still young.
That Green Arrow cover seems like yet another homage to the old "Days of Future Past" Uncanny X-Men cover...
ReplyDeleteThat Blue Beetle cover blurb is just sad.
ReplyDeleteAnd stupid.
And apropos of nothing.
In fairness, Mitchell, Blue Beetle--or, rather, the Scarab--had just impaled and apparently killed Paco. So, apropos of something...
ReplyDeleteThanks, Snell.
ReplyDeleteHowever, not having read the book, it's hard to tell just why BB has his woe-face (as opposed to his war-face) on. The blurb does not invite me to find out what's going on.
But it is nice to know that our hero has a reason to be upset.
