Dark Horse is already pimping their August wares – me? I haven’t even adjusted to the fact it’s May yet! Still running with the thoroughbred, here are August's best bets when it comes to to the Horse's cover art:
COVER OF THE MONTH: THE GOON #35 I think Eric Powell’s The Goon is the comic screaming loudest for the multi-media treatment. Just look at that Dave Stewart cover! Of course a “two fisted beer drinker” means it would have to be for mature audiences, but hey what cartoon couldn’t benefit from the addition of a vulgar monkey or two??
CLOSE CONTENDER: STAR WARS: KNIGHT ERRANT—DELUGE #1 (of 5) One Jedi, performing a rescue on a planet full of (and ruled by) Sith! Going a Soviet military style on the debut cover to this mini was a wise choice by Paul Renaud, as it really shows the odds against Kerra’s plight!
More Dark Horse August goodies after the jump!
Fantastic cover!
ReplyDeleteI'm always in favor of beer and a vulgar monkey. The first time we all get together in your neck of the woods, Dan, we'll have to figure out who wears the monkey suit. Personally, I vote for Craig.
ReplyDeleteThe Jedi cover is gorgeous. That red shadow really jumps.
You had me at the vulgarity. The monkey suit is just a bonus.
ReplyDeleteThe cover art that you posted is fantastic! I absolutely love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the great comments folks - glad you all liked the art as much as I did!
ReplyDeletePlus Random, Anthony and João - we got Craig to agree to wear a monkey suit! *Sigh* why can't more comment sections have these kind of results? ;D
I'm easy, what can I say?
ReplyDeleteThanks for that Anthony! Glad you liked it too.
ReplyDeleteMonkey Suit is bonus in any man's language Craig!
