My Favorite Comic Covers: The First Installment!

Hey folks!
For no reason whatsoever, I remembered one of my favorite comic covers of all time and looked it up (it popped up in my head, so I followed the urge to take another look at it). Seeing it again got me pretty psyched and I wanted to share it…and thus this little blog feature showcasing my favorite covers begins!

The first inductee into my miniature “Hall of Some Recognition” is Wolverine (Vol. 2) #2 by Esad Ribic.

Not only does this cover come from back when Greg Rucka was kicking major ass on this title, but I think the image just speaks to anyone who’s ever felt beaten-down and misunderstood in their life, yet choose not to let it defeat them. Plus, it’s just a fantastic visual that really does a lot to illustrate the character of Wolverine—a guy who crops up everywhere—in a new (at the time) and interesting way, and those two aspects are the makings of a great cover that’ll always be among my favorites!
