They say you can’t judge a book by its cover. Let’s test that, shall we?
BTVS SEASON 9 FREEFALL #19 NOTO CVR
– “Bad Touch”, “Stranger Danger”, and “I need an adult!” all hit my brain at once when I saw this cover. It really hurt. To give you an idea, think of seeing someone with electricity arcing up their arm and then saying, “Turn your head and cough.” It hurt like that.
CRIME DOES NOT PAY ARCHIVES HC VOL 04
– Of course Crime doesn’t pay, nothing pays, we’re in a recession! Also, the lady’s going on a shooting spree! That’s notoriously a low-return criminal enterprise. (CC Note: Is it sad that more people think the crime being committed on that cover is the woman trying to wear those shoes with that dress?) (Don’t help.)
BATMAN #18
– Pets leave little gifts in boots. It’s what they do. Honestly, I’m surprised it’s taken this long to broach the subject in the Bat-mythos. Alfred must have invented five different methods for getting guano out of a cotton-kevlar blend.
SUICIDE SQUAD #18
– I’ve seen this image before, but it was on a marquee poster for mud wrestling. I seem to recall the same number of wriggling vines being involved too. Hawkeye is going to need to stretch to pull this one off.
AVENGERS ARENA #6 NOW
– This looks like the combination of Battle Royale, Breakfast Club, and Revenge of the Nerds II. Now that I think about it, the series so far could be described that way.
THUNDERBOLTS #6 NOW
– A woman in skimpy clothing holding popular action figures? That’s so blatantly pandering I can’t believe I haven’t seen it before. Wow.
WOLVERINE #1 NOW
– I just don’t get it. He’s charging toward the reader. Claws out. He wants to kill you, and he doesn’t know you. So why do we buy so many titles that he gets five series devoted to him?!?
WOLVERINE AND X-MEN #26
– You see??? And even though it explains on the cover who that guy is, I can’t help but think that Kraven’s slightly-blonder brother is going through Kraven’s rolodex?
SHADOW #10
-The Shadow, I guess, is trying to match Wolverine for number of crossovers. He doesn’t quite have the feel for it, if you ask me, and you totally did. He’s in Masks, and now he’s hosting characters from 50 Shades of Grey?
That’s all, folks!!
