It may still be November, but February’s comic book covers are already on display. This was a great month for covers, so much so that I couldn’t just narrow it down to the usual 10. So, from absolutely stunning covers to the ones that just made me giggle, here are my top 20 comic book covers for the month of February:
20. Animal Man #6
Cover by Travel Foreman
The premise for this issue (fans get to “watch” the superhero film Buddy Baker starred in) is cool on its own, but Travel Foreman‘s cover really sells the concept.
19. King Conan: Phoenix of the Sword #2
Cover by Andrew Robinson
Andrew Robinson always does terrific work. The colors on this are gorgeous.
18. The Punisher #8
Cover by Marco Checchetto
The second I saw this, I wanted to know more. That’s the mark of a great cover. Beautiful work from Marco Checchetto.
17. Penguin: Pain and Prejudice #5
Cover by Szymon Kudranski
I’m going to be sad to see this comic end, but it looks like it’ll be going out with a bang. Here’s hoping DC gives Szymon Kudranski lots more covers after this wraps.
16. Hulk #48
Cover by Butch Guice
Butch Guice finds a way to make a Red Hulk cover a whole lot more interesting.
15. Wonder Woman #6
Cover by Cliff Chiang
This is the Wonder Woman I always wanted to read about, and Cliff Chiang remains one of my favorite artists in comics.
14. Men of War #6
Cover by Viktor Kalvachev
Yet another stunning Men of War cover from Viktor Kalvachev.
13. Fatale #2
Cover by Sean Phillips
Every time I see one of Sean Phillip‘s covers I get more and more excited to read this series.
12. Black Panther #529
Cover by Francesco Francavilla
The saddest thing about Black Panther being canceled that I won’t get to enjoy Francesco Francavilla‘s covers anymore.
11. Batman #6
Cover by Greg Capullo
This is feels a little more Spawn-esque than Capullo‘s previous Batman covers, but in this case, it’s not a bad thing.
10. Green Wake #10
Cover by Riley Rossmo
This comic has made me into a huge Riley Rossmo fan. I can’t imagine a more perfect comic for his style.
9. T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents #4
Cover by Rafael Albuquerque
I’m so glad DC decided to bring T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents back, and I’m thrilled that Rafael Albuquerque‘s breathtaking art is a part of it.
8. Daredevil #9
Cover by Paolo Rivera
I can’t praise Daredevil or Paolo Rivera‘s art enough. This cover really showcases what makes the comic special.
7. Demon Knights #6
Cover by Mike Choi
Demon Knights knows dinosaurs are the way to my heart. It’s great to see Mike Choi doing work for DC.
6. The Goon #38
Cover by Eric Powell and Dave Stewart
Dave Stewart is one of my favorite colorists in the business, and it’s great to see him work with Eric Powell.
5. Frankenstein, Agent of S.H.A.D.E.
Cover by J.G. Jones
J.G. Jones has been killing it on these Frankenstein covers. Love the use of color here.
4. Reed Gunther #8
Cover by Chris Houghton
I can’t stop smiling when I look at this. Well played, Chris Houghton.
3. Journey into Mystery #634
Cover by Stephanie Hans
Journey into Mystery always has gorgeous covers. I love the painted look of Stephanie Hans‘ work. The scales are my favorite part.
2. Deadpool Max II #5
Cover by Kyle Baker
I don’t think Deadpool has ever looked better. Kyle Baker has delivered a cover that’s both hilarious and visually striking.
1. The Flash #6
Cover by Francis Manapul
Every month, I think Francis Manapul‘s Flash covers can’t get any better, and every month, they do. Absolutely beautiful.
