With the blockbuster spectacles of summer passed and scares of Halloween dissipated, the winter months typically segue into classy, refined offerings that fit well wrapped in crimson and green under a fir tree. Fittingly, many of the best covers coming this month just look regal, a sense of preserved majesty filling in their two dimensions with dark yellow and amber hues. Chris Samnee and Cole Closser embrace a rallying yawp in their respective covers for Captain America #695 and Adventure Time Comics #7, Captain America and Finn heaving their weapons heaven-bound in anticipation of warfare. (This all begs the question…is a Marvel/Adventure Time crossover the thing we never knew we wanted?) Declan Shalvey aims in the opposite direction, lowering the cover figure of Injection #15 into a well of mythic, sci-fi cool, and Nick Pitarra slinks to ground-level for Redneck, creating the new art term snake’s-eye-view. There’s a lot to chew on, and not every cover revels in grandiose visuals; Leanne Shapton’s evocative Toys Talking art conveys multitudes of nostalgia and loneliness with an elephant sketch against a lime-green fill. Check out the gallery above and let us know what cover art you’re digging on our Twitter feed.
