Come on.
0:13
Moving on to our next segment. Judging
0:15
by the cover, Junior, our favorite cover
0:18
art out next week. What is your favorite
0:20
cover art out next week?
0:22
My favorite cover art is Dustin Newan's
0:26
um Nightwing. Uh it's for Nightwing
0:29
number 133. Um it like isn't even like
0:33
it's clearly not like very like issue
0:36
specific, but I have just always loved
0:40
Dustin Newan's uh Nightwing. He is
0:43
incredibly sexy and statuesque and just
0:48
like looks like a goddamn Bat family
0:52
hero in a way that I love. Um, you know,
0:56
New Yun's watercolor is just so unique
0:59
and distinctive. Like, you're never
1:01
going to see a New Yan cover and not
1:04
know it's from him. Um, so really really
1:07
love this. Could
1:09
easily see this being a print that
1:11
people hang on their walls
1:14
feverish feverishly.
1:16
Like I know a few people in my life who
1:18
would buy this.
1:19
There you go. You could buy it and just
1:21
blow it up somehow at like Kinko.
1:22
Oh yeah. Uh, isn't it interesting how
1:25
Nightwing is like he's taken on this uh
1:28
reoccurring theme of him being behind a
1:32
b a city that's upside down to convey
1:34
that he's like sort usually it's because
1:37
he's like swinging or whatever. But this
1:39
is not the first time we've seen an
1:40
upside down city where he's right side
1:43
up for us but the city's upside down.
1:45
It's kind of an interesting element.
1:46
Also, I love the streak of white, the
1:48
light on the in the middle. And yeah,
1:50
the streak of light is cool. And you
1:52
know, that's interesting because like
1:55
the plot that's happening right now is
1:56
that Blood Haven is turning on its hero.
1:59
That's what the solicit says. So maybe
2:01
the cover actually has more to do with
2:03
the content of the issue than uh I
2:05
thought at first glance. That's a a a
2:07
good detail you saw.
2:09
Yeah, he's been on the show before and
2:12
um that's a great interview. You go back
2:14
and listen to it. Um, it was really
2:16
interesting listening to him talk about,
2:18
you know, doing his style and his
2:19
watercolor and how he's like, I will
2:23
never do a Justice League book cuz I do
2:25
not want to have to deal with all those
2:26
costumes.
2:27
Oh my god, cannot imagine.
2:29
But always beautiful. Uh, my favorite
2:31
cover comes from Ivan Chavin uh for Book
2:35
of Revelation number three. Really cool.
2:38
Uh, we've got Revelation here in the
2:40
foreground and the way his cape is
2:43
flowing, but the way his body language
2:45
is just so like look what I've done.
2:48
And there's a nuclear blast with skulls
2:51
in the smoke, which is really cool and
2:52
really well rendered with X's in the
2:54
eyes for the X-Men. Uh, some figures at
2:57
the bottom who are about to be blasted
2:59
by it. But again, he's it's almost like
3:01
he's he's like done a flourish and his
3:03
cape's whipped up and he's like, "Aha,
3:05
look at me." Uh, and just the detailing
3:08
in his costume and the coloring too to
3:10
make his um like the golden parts
3:12
shimmer is really cool. Just a really
3:15
great piece of art. And it's framed very
3:18
uniquely on top of like these crazy red
3:22
I assume shock waves flying out of the
3:24
blast. Uh, just pretty all around. Also,
3:27
I love how the shadow is kind of
3:29
covering his junk to create almost a
3:31
sultry sexiness to him, which I wasn't
3:33
Yeah. Oh, he like looks hot. Like he he
3:37
usually is pretty gross looking.
3:40
He's also not this buff in the book. So,
3:42
he's actually more like Apocalypse than
3:44
ever in this image, which is
3:45
interesting.
3:46
He is he is very apocalypian. Um, and
3:50
you know, Dave and I, we were talking
3:52
before the show, and I I love this
3:55
cover, and I really hope that Ivan
3:57
Shaver is revealed to be a fan of
4:00
Adventure Time, because if you're
4:02
someone who's ever seen Adventure Time,
4:04
Yeah.
4:04
then you'll know that this atomic bomb
4:06
in the back in the back looks exactly
4:09
like the atomic bomb that is unleashed
4:13
in Oo, you know, millennia before the
4:16
start of Adventure Time. If you haven't
4:18
seen it or don't know, just Google
4:20
Adventure Time Oo atomic bomb and you'll
4:23
see it's it's very similar, but in like
4:25
an homagey type way. Either it's an
4:27
homage or Ivan just like completely
4:30
thought of it on his own, which you
4:32
know, I don't think it's would be
4:33
shocking to think of a big green blast
4:35
with skulls, but it does look like a
4:38
homage to Adventure Time, and it would
4:40
make me very happy if it was. There's
4:43
even crows in the in there as well to
4:45
kind of show the the deathbringer of
4:47
that is Revelation, which is neat.
4:49
No, it's it's a sick cover and again
4:52
pretty sexy.
4:53
I also wanted to flag Fabriio de Tom
4:55
Tamaso's cover of Revelation.
4:58
I just love
4:59
less sexy but just as like imposing.
5:03
Very imposing. Uh the lighting is
5:05
incredible, but also just the fact that
5:06
he's almost sitting on like it's almost
5:08
he's sitting like he's sitting on a
5:09
throne only it's destruction behind him
5:12
and he's got his arms wrapped around a
5:15
one-way street sign like it's no no big
5:17
deal. Dude just loves death.
5:20
And it's also very much like it is one
5:23
way. It is it is Revelations Way or it
5:25
is the gosh darn highway.
5:28
Um
5:29
look at that.
5:29
He also kind of has his own Pennywise
5:31
grin on his face. That smile in his
5:34
deep.
5:35
Look at these long fingers, too. And
5:37
there's only two right here.
5:39
Very creepy. Very creepy.
5:41
Love it.
5:42
Yeah.
5:43
That's it for Judgement by the Cover Jr.
