Best Covers: DC Comics Solicitations for July 2009

Here's my favorites of the DC Comics solicitations for July 2009 (all links are to the artist's sites):



Mostly for this fellow:



ASTRO CITY: THE DARK AGE BOOK 3 Cover by Alex Ross



NORTH 40 #1 Cover by Fiona Staples, who draws a swell Jabba.



FABLES #86 Cover by Joao Ruas. The vampiric fellow seems to be someone named "Dunster Happ," who has no mention on Google, other than in the solicitation for this issue.

UPDATE: The creepy guy is the creature who lives in the dark. Dunster Happ is essentially a medieval ghostbuster. Probably the best single issue I read this year.

You can see the rest of the DC Comics solicitations for July 2009 here.

More weirdness from Alex Ross

This is part of Alex Ross's cover to Justice Society of America: Thy Kingdom Come Part 3.
1. Robin looks disturbing old.
2. What is on Power Girl's face, because it sure doesn't look like tears?

(OK, apparently he's old Earth 2 Robin and supposed to look creepy.)
