-Is Iceman creating the suits on those ice cards on the cover to Astonishing X-Men #56 through force of will and concentration? Would that mental energy not be better served in another way if he's in the midst of battle? Regardless, it looks cool.
-Nice tease of the new Joker look by Greg Capullo on Batman #14. You see the key added element (that buckle), but no more, plus all the other key characters are worked in.
-Dustin Nguyen, man. Put him on a line-wide crossover.
-That Colder #1 image is one of the more disturbing ones I've seen in a bit, and thus one of the more memorable; it's gonna stick with me for a spell. Kudos, Juan Ferreyra.
-I'm no art expert (thanks for reading my monthly blog post about art that I like!), but I dig the foreshortening (right?) Dave Johnson uses on Creator Owned Heroes #6 to draw my attention straight to the barrel of the gun and then carry it through to the figures.
-Geof Darrow drawing Deadpool and a bunch of cats fighting Godzilla. As a fan, I say thank you. As a Marvel employee, I say you're welcome.
-More design excellence by Dave Johnson on the variant to Fantastic Four #1. The man knows how to use the fundamentals to make his stuff work. One of the masters.
-Mike Allred drawing Ant-Man, She-Hulk, Medusa and a lady in a Thing suit. See my Geof Darrow comments.
-More repetition from me, but as I said last month, my favorite Alex Ross work in immediate memory are those Ghost covers. He really seems to get that design and enjoy painting it. Beautiful.
-I'm not including the Joe Kubert Presents cover as a memorial or tribute, I'm doing so because even among 29 other great pieces, it stands out.
-Spoiler alert: Esad Ribic will need to work hard to not get every Thor cover he draws included on these for the foreseeable future.
-I love the idea and the execution of the X-Men Legacy #1 cover. I like it more every time I see it. Gotta make my way down to Daniel Ketchum's office sooner rather than later to ask about conception and process.
