Upcoming (Beautiful) Variants

Good evening Gothamites,

Late Wednesday afternoon, DC's The Source Blog posted a variety of upcoming variant covers including everything from Justice League: Generation Lost and Green Lantern to Justice League proper and The Widening Gyre (it returns!). So check out the Batvariants below, and check The Source for the rest!

Batman gets surrounded by Alan Scott constructs in the variant for Justice League #47. Based on the cover, this issue looks to be picking up exactly where the last issue left off, with Batman (Dick Grayson) on the moon read to face Alan Scott and his Starheart powered self-constructs. This cover is penciled by Alex Garner.

Up next, we see Silver St. Cloud adorned in the cape and cowl of The Batman, Bruce Wayne. This is the variant cover to Kevin Smith's 6th issue of The Widening Gyre. I cannot wait to read this issue, and the cover is definitely a contender for my cover of the year.

But what do you guys think? Which is your favorite? And are you looking forward to either of these issues?

Cover of the Week: July 4th, 2010

This week in Gotham, we saw team ups, a glimpse into the future, Sirens, books for kids, hardcovers, and one shots, and after putting all of our data in the electronic cover analyzer (hardcovers do not meet the criteria) we have come to a solution of the best cover that Gotham City has ever seen this week. And although each cover was great, only one could stand head and shoulders above the rest. The Cover of the Week is none other than...

Batman Beyond #1 (of 6) Variant

This variant cover for the first issue of the most recent series about the Dark Knight of the future is from superstar artist J. H. Williams III and features an elderly Bruce Wayne in the background while Terry McGinnis gets surrounded by techno waves of digital bliss.

That's our cover of the week, but what was your favorite?

Cover of the Week

This week saw variants, specials, and beautiful cover art on all of the Gotham Books, but what was the best? Well, after placing all data into a specific, complex algorithm, we have determined, that while all of the covers were good, one stood out, head and shoulders above the rest!

This Walt Simonson cover for Detective Comics #866 was inspired by Jerry Robinson's classic cover from Detective Comics #69 and brought it into the modern era in celebration of DC Comics' 75th Anniversary.

So that's our cover of the week, but what was your favorite cover from Gotham City?

Batman #700 Cover

Earlier this week, DC Nation dropped the first bit of information that we've gotten concerning Batman #700 in the form of a beautiful cover by David Finch.

This is the first bit of official Batman art from David Finch, and it is one of the most breath taking piece of cover art that we have seen recently.

So, by my count, we know three things about Batman #700:

It is coming in June.

At least one cover by David Finch.

Tony Daniel will be involved in some way.

My guess is that it will be a collection of Batman stories in the fashion of an 80 page giant, seeing as advance solicitations and previews will be coming in the next couple of weeks, and based on the track record of DC's The Source Blog, we will be getting loads of amazing information soon.
