COVER OF THE WEEK
(Week of February 15th)
by Darryll Carter (Yusuke T. Centre)
Cover Artist: Ryan Ottley
It’s time for our favorite milking mammal again. That’s right the CoW, Cover of the Week. This time around the Golden Udder go to Invincible #88. Now, I myself don’t know anything about Invincible. But this cover makes me want to pick one up. I mean there is something to be said for just flat out slugging a guy. It doesn’t get richer than that. That’s pure awesome. Although, the gal in the pink seems a bit shocked. Maybe he’s a fellow hero or friend?
Movement aside, you see some nice blur effects on the swinging fist and especially on the chin of the unfortunate fellow in the foreground. I like the blood in the foreground as well. It gives the impression that I’m so close it might splatter on my face. That’s a nice touch.
There is definitely something symbolic to be said about this cover. You have Invincible in a angelic position high on the page looking down on the other guy with the sun on his back high in the clouds. While he is knocking his opponent down a few notches, down back to earth with us. Really nicely done.
