COVER SHOTS: Marvel's March Solicitations

Fear Itself, Marvel Comics' next event to end all events starts ramping up in March, but they also offer plenty of great reads if you need a good excuse to keep the light on at night. Of all the covers in the months listings - these are the ones causing the opposition to tremble - so much so I've had to add more covers than usual!

COVER(S) OF THE MONTH: Captain America One-Shots - Greg Tocchini Is there a movie in the air? The world of Captain America multiplies like your average wet Gremlin in March. Better yet all the one shots involved (Captain America And Falcon #1, Captain America And The First Thirteen #1, Captain America And Crossbones #1, Captain America And The Secret Avengers #1, Captain America And Batroc #1) have interconnecting covers, and just look at the sweetness they create (click to enlarge)! 

CLOSE CONTENDERS: Close is not the word. These David Aja variants for the mini series 5 Ronin are as strong in design as they are in flat-out cool. Left to right; Hulk, Deadpool, Punisher, Wolverine and... wait, wasn't there another? Oh yeah, Psylocke...

If I don't get these Aja versions I'll be cutting my own Samurai path out that's for sure. More March Marvel-ness after the jump.
