Art Attack: April 2011's Coolest Covers

-Name to me anything that can't be improved by mixing it with the Infinity Gauntlet.

-It's weird, but the thing I'm most impressed about with Gene Ha's Batman & Robin cover is the care he took in drawing the parts of Batman's back we can see. Anybody can draw a screaming figure, but seriously, it's details like those that separate the pros from the pack.

-Jo Chen Hellboy!

-Adi Granov's Captain America: Hail Hydra covers have had an extra pop to them I feel his work, beautiful though it always is, sometimes lacks. I think it's something to do with the colors; they seem brighter for some reason, less muted.

-I'm disappointed the 70's era version of Robotman seems to be missing from that Doom Patrol cover, or at the least it's not jumping out to me.

-Mike Allred has been doing this a long time and still seems like he's always looking for ways to top what he did last.

-Not really art-related, but I think the cast of Justice League: Generation Lost should inherit the Outsiders name/book when their series is over if nobody's using it.

-Darick Robertson's Conan is pretty much perfect, I think.

-That Ultimate Avengers vs. New Ultimates cover by Leinil Francis Yu is homage done very right.

-Terry Dodson's Uncanny X-Men cover could be a great movie poster. It almost looks like Star Wars or something.

-That Venom cover by Tony Moore is also homage done very right.

-Adam Hughes is very good at what he does.
