Good God, those are great!

Hard to pick a favorite, but I gotta go with Batman/Superman.

It tells a story, and we get to see Batman smile!

Detective for me. Great all round though.

Mr_Cosmic · September 2014

Only one I didn't care for was He-Man..otherwise they were wonderful.

Torchsong · September 2014

I'll be picking up a number of these - same way I did with the Lego variants this month. Stop making cool stuff, DC! :)

I wish we were saying that more often for what is inside the covers.

I concur.

I have no interest in the books these will be wrapped around.

If you have not read the final issue of All-Star Western check it out. The interior and cover art by Cooke is fantastic & the story does a fine job of concluding the series.

Agreed. I'm very thankful for nice big scans on the internet.

RepoMan · September 2014

Is this the first time DC has utilized one of its artists across the board like this? I know Marvel uses Skottie Young. And Alex Ross is all over. But a month dedicated to one artist is interesting. I would probably chase a single artist variant theme over many months rather than all in one. Especially if it was someone with the same level of emotion as Cooke. But with them being all in one month I'll have to pick. and choose.

Who else do we think could warrant a full month devoted to just themselves? That isn't already doing DC covers or interiors? Bill Sienkiewicz? Jeff Smith? Art Adams?

My picks would be:

Bruce Timm
Brian Bolland
Jeff Smith
Joe Staton

Flash Gordon looks just incredible!

Too many other good things this month so I just settled for the Supergirl cover.

Howdy, Stranger!
