Archie #17

by Tula Lotay

Another bold cover from Lotay which has strong design elements as well as excellent (and a little scary) character work!

God Country #2

by Geoff Shaw

Ah, the widescreen cover. A rarity, and always very striking when done right. I love that the title is integrated and absolutely huge, but doesn't take away from the beautiful landscape.

Star Trek: Boldly Go #5

by George Caltsoudas

I love that this design defies a quick look. The way the background symbol is mimicked by the angles and curves of the characters hair and staff, and the optical illusion of the background becoming the foreground is visually fascinating. Well done!

The Rift #2

by Nicolas Ely

I hope Ely is able to keep this clever design idea going for all four issues of this series–the first two covers have been extremely striking and poster-worthy!

Trinity #6

by Bill Sienkiewicz

I like the almost 3D look here, and the unique perspective gives this one an interesting edge.

Unfollow #16

by Matt Taylor

I love the gritty shading style Taylor uses on these covers, and the movement of the characters and the menacing rocky visage in the background create a real sense of urgent action.

That's it for this week. What did I miss? Let us know on Twitter or Facebook!
