I think we can all agree on what Pre-Unity covers were awesome. We need a list of decent POST unity covers. The only few that ever get mentioned are Rai 0......... and i think thats it.

I actually like the Bloodshot and Turok 1 covers. Gimmicky, sure, but they look cool

Same here. I don't mind chromium covers as long they don't get carried away with it. I thought Valiant had a pretty good balance going on with gimmick covers vs regular books.

Great image. I always liked the floating sword and the mirrored floor.

Agreed! Loved the early Bob Hall Shadowman covers especially 7, 8, 10, 11, 13 & 15... Always wanted to own original cover art to one of those.

Can't believe no one has mentioned Solar #10, what a classic.

Same here, with X-O Manowar #0 being one of my favorites.

Solar #5 is probably my second favorite but for me Solar #1 takes the cake.
