OK, I may take some ribbing about this one. We received a whole lot of comics this week, but I was disappointed with the majority of the covers. Spazdog pointed out last week that Frazetta's Death Dealer #1 was coming out this week with a fantastic cover. And yes, while that is true (two covers actually), not quite my favorite cover of the week. Besides, we keep the Death Dealer behind the counter because it is a mature title. The cover of Nova #1 is pretty cool, too, but still not my favorite.
This week, I have to choose between two separate covers, and both with Spidey on them: The Spider-Man Back-in-Black Handbook and Spider-Man and the Fantastic Four #1. Yeah, yeah, the Spidey/FF cover reminds me of What If #1 from the 70's... maybe that's why I like it. That has always been one of my favorite Spider-man/Fantastic Four comics, but I can't put my finger on why. Maybe it was because I was an impressionable 7th grader when it came out! But after reading the new comic, I've got to admit that I love the Impossible Man! And while that has nothing to do with the cover, when it's a toss up between the two, I chose the comic I would prefer to read. The black costumed Spider-Man on the Black-in-Black Handbook surrounded by his foes is pretty cool, but it falls to the team-up issue in my opinion. However, I will post pictures of both, and you can choose. Or, give me a better suggestion.
