It’s time for the penultimate Cover Of The Week for 2012!
This week the comic store shelves have been truly spoiled, from dramatic imagery like Cliff Chiang‘s impressive use of reflection on Wonder Woman #15, to the classically posed He-Man and Battlecat on Dave Wilkins‘ He-Man And The Masters Of The Universe #5 cover.
Paolo Rivera and David Aja added more stunning fronts to their runs of covers on Daredevil (#21) and Hawkeye (#6) respectively, while, with issue #3, Stéphane Roux provided another classic, movie-poster styled cover for her already impressive collection of Star Wars: Agent Of The Empire – Hard Targets fronts.
Hellblazer #298 featured a fine example of artist Simon Bisley‘s work as the ‘Death And Cigarettes’ storyline begins and Mike Del Mundo provided the cleverest use of imagery this week with his brilliant cover for X-Men Legacy #3.
It was pretty hard to pick a winner from this exceptionally strong selection of comic book covers, but we have gone for…
…The Unwritten #4 by New York based, Japanese illustrator Yuko Shimizu! It’s a beautiful piece of work depicting a harpy and the dangers facing Tom in Hades!
Congrats to Yuko and DC Vertigo, they get the paper crown for this week!
