Cover of the Week 05-06-09

Power Girl #1

Power Girl #1 by Adam Hughes

So when I picked out this cover Anthony said “That’s a horrible cover” and “Her boobs look like an ass.” So I’m not saying that her boobs actually look like an ass, I just want to say that they’re supposed to be BIG. She is Power Girl and this is an Adam Hughes cover. BIG.

Reason 1: Adam Hughes is king at drawing women and facial expressions. Just look at those dudes behind PG. Priceless.

Reason 2: Technique. Hughes can really work a mouse on his covers, this one especially shows his great digital blending skills.

 

Rant of the Week: Dear Marvel, stop copping out on stuff like this.

The cover illustration on this one is pretty nice. Fire and androids – pretty cool stuff, no? But then whoever did the cover art (or Marvel. [probably Marvel]) had to go and make it match those other Timely Comics and plain out screwed it up. To the left is the original cover, and to the right is my attempt to make it look better. There is no hope. That flaming font is horrible.

    I stand by my original assessment, its a horrible cover. As an idea. Sure, the art is great, I'm not taking anything away from his ability. He gets an A on the quality, an F for idea and an A++ for being a perv.
  • I can agree with some of that. Since shes so similar to to Superman, those kinds of characters get in the rut of having those "iconic"-type poses of ripping off the shirt, lifting something impossible, etc. So yeah, not TOO creative.

    Plus, If you remember the first one I posted where it says "the thing that makes you pick up the comic in the first place"... a lot of customers are men, sooo...

    I guess when I said "not too creative" I meant drawing big tits to sell a book.
