Here are a few of my favorite comic book covers from the past couple of weeks:

Shanghai Red #1

Lets see…  Sharks, blood red seas, a sailing vessel heading towards shore.  This can mean only one thing, a dark tale of 1800’s Pacific Coast human trafficking!

Mr. Laren does a great job of the mech design, but my favorite part is including the view of the pilot.  You usually don’t seen this when a Veritech is in Battloid mode.  Or for you Macross fans, that would be a Valkyrie in Battroid mode.

Doctor Aphra #21
Cover by Ashley Witter

While at times the ambitions of archeologist-of-dubios-reputation Doctor Aphra have appeared inconsistent as written, the character herself has been a welcome addition to the Star Wars mythos.  Aphra, pictured in the hologram, often finds herself unexpectedly (to herself) embroiled in situations of galaxy-wide impact she could have easily avoided with a few simple alternate choices.  But much like Indiana Jones, her quest for long hidden artifacts keeps her caught in the midst of devilish schemes and power struggles.
