My favourite DC cover constantly remains this:

None have surpassed this.

I doubt any will.

Secret Six vol 4 #3 cover

By Dale Eaglesham, Jason Wright

The Secret Six have weird sex with a big "Censored" circle covering it up

An excuse (though it probably doesn't make sense to start here).
This was the comic that was almost the end of my comic-buying. The first comic I picked up that had made the leap from 60 cents to 75. That was nearly too rich for my mom's blood.

DC Covers We Love

This series rocked!

And while I love most of what James Gunn has done with the DCU so far, I cannot forgive him turning DC Frankenstein into a fucking incel in Creature Commandos

DC covers we love.

Batgirl Vol. 1 #61

By Pop Mhan.

I love Cass kicking butt and just the various expressions of the criminals around her expressions reacting to her moves or what she's doing.

The only one crying here is you bud

I’m ready to just block and move on

I’m not sure if you’ve noticed the responses to the post or not, but you’re in the overwhelming minority

There’s a reason why comic pros love this guy and why none of them give a shit about what you’re whining about

It’s actually just writing the letters backwards which is fine, didn’t notice at first because who honestly cares, if you’re sitting here looking close enough to care you’re giving it too much energy

What up #PortfolioDay!

We’re Brandt&Stein, and together we make comics. Marvel, DC, Power Rangers, some Darkwing Duck, and a lot more besides!

We co-created Marvel’s first trans mutant (Escapade), made Green Arrow’s son asexual, and drew the multi-award nominated CROWDED.

Nice to meet you!

A page from Great Petspectations, printed in Harley Quinn: Black & White +Redder issue 2.

Panel 1: a header says “fourth event, extraordinary talent” as we see Haley, the three-legged Bitewing riding a unicycle while balancing a ball on her nose.

Panel 2: Haley is yelping in shock as paintballs hit her, knocking her off the unicycle.

Panel 3: Robin looks pissed, snatching Harley’s paintball gun away from her. Harley looks more smug though, as she is looking at…

Panel 4: the pet show’s judges are melting down as The Squiddler does his mind-reading trick and is writing their bank account numbers on a whiteboard.

Panel 5: Harley is giving a serious pep talk to Bud and Lou, her hyenas.

Panel 6: Harley’s going full pageant mom, putting the fear of god into Bud and Lou.

A double page spread from “Morgonna the Crimson,” first printed in Red Sonja: Black, White & Red 5.

Panel 1: Sonja’s kicking an evil wizard out of a small village.

Panel 2: Sonja’s running away, overwhelmed by the unnecessarily fervent gratitude of the villagers.

Panel 3: Sonja is stood, fuming, as a cardboard standee advertising someone who is clearly biting her style in terms of outfit.

Panel 4: Having defeated a monster and tied it up, Sonja is running and yelling at the people loading unwanted rewards onto her horse.

Panel 5: Sonja is walking through a forest, tearing down every poster put up by her imitator.

Panel 6: Sonja is leaping, sword swinging, at a giant inflatable standee of her imitator outside a wagon dealer.

Panel 7: an extremely grouchy Sonja is riding her terminally-overburdened horse. There is a goose sat on her head.

A double page spread from CROWDED issue 3.

Panel 1: wide across the top of both pages, showing an airport drop-off point and Trotter, the celebrity Reapr killer, standing out the sun roof of his limo, talking to his adoring fans.

Panel 2: inside the airport, Circe the assassin has noticed a bright-looking suitcase on the baggage claim that clearly isn’t hers.

Panel 3: outside the airport, now with the suitcase, Circe is walking towards another limousine.

Panel 4: at the limousine, Circe places her hand on the fingerprint scanner, her technological gloves hacking it, causing it to accept her as its intended guest, Mr Hufnagle.

Panel 5: full page width, split panel. On the left half, Trotter is in his limo, talking to his assistant Cameron. On the right half, Circe is in her limo rooting through her stolen suitcase.

Panel 6: Trotter is walking up to a hotel, posing for paparazzi.

Panel 7: Circe is climbing out of the sunroof of her limo.

Panel 8: Circe is jumping off her limo in the middle of the street, letting it continue to its destination.

A comics splash page. We’re looking out over a vibrant night scene at a food market filled with an eclectic and weird mix of people milling through it. Above the market a sci-fi city stretches into the distance, each area having its own architectural style and gravitational direction. Nearby a hover-bus is pulling into its stop.

I'm sure JON SABLE, FREELANCE will probably come up. It usually does.

Yeah, that’s a bad sign
