The Avengers: mike deodato

-Kenneth Rocafort is a helluva talent. Very interested to see him on a big-time super hero like Superman.

-Jelena Kevic-Djurdjevic makes the list twice, snatching the top cover artist crown in her household for one month from husband Marko with the aid of a space-faring Raccoon! To be fair, that's a tough hand to beat...

-Palyfulness and creativity goes a long way, as seen on Billy Tan's cover to Avengers Academy.

-Dan Jurgens' cover to Booster Gold is the best visual teaser to Flashpoint I've seen yet for my money. He knows how to bring it.

-Paolo Rivera's Chris Evans as Captain America: Damn.

-I can never get enough Scott Kolins drawing Professor Zoom. On the subject, I'd love to see the other Zoom back for Flashpoint in some form.

-So that's what a David Aja Green Arrow cover would look like. Very nice.

-I am so enamored of that 1950's Avengers team Mike Deodato draws on the cover of New Avengers. How can anybody handle the combined barechested gusto of both Kraven and Sabretooth?

-The cover to Northlanders reminds me of the ice painting my mother does, which makes me wonder if Massimo Carnevale used that technique.

-Speaking of Mike Deodato, that is a great shot of the new Venom and really gives him some distance from his predecessors straight off just with the cocky smile beneath the mask.
