DC Comics Best Covers of the Week 12/7/16

We Heard You Like Variant Covers, So We Put a Variant in Your Variant

Last week was a struggle to put together five covers worth commending, but this week there were a lot more books released by DC! Still, it was sort of difficult. Not too many covers worth noting, though I don't recall any real stinkers. Maybe that Justice League variant by Panquette, that one seemed off the mark. But the ones below are, without any doubt, the best of week. I had someone from NASA help me with the calculations, so I know they're correct. See below and find out if you are factually right or wrong about your opinion.

Aquaman #9

Brad Walker, Andrew Hennessy, Gabe Eltaeb

This is a pretty cute nod to Planet of the Apes, though this scene doesn't appear anywhere in the issue. You do see the Statue of Liberty through a window at one point, though.

Green Arrow #12 variant

Neal Adams with Jeromy Cox

Here's good ol' Neal Adams, showing everyone he can still draw circles around some contemporary greats. Perfect use and execution of perspective here.

Superman #12

Doug Mahnke, Jaime Mendoza, Wil Quintana

 I love DC's Frankenstein, but moreso I love the implication of this cover. Frankensuper? Superstein? Whatever, I would read a book about a reanimated Superman corpse, no problem.

Cyborg #6 variant

Carlos D'Anda

It's a new character named Variant...on a variant cover! Whoaa! Cover-ception, bro! I also like the composition of this, plus the Cyborg Cupid, but I picked this cover mainly to make a stupid joke.

Harley Quinn #9 variant

Frank Cho and Laura Martin

Frank Cho, you are an exceptional artist. Fuck the controversy.
