Very close on A&A, but I went with Bloodshot. That's one of the best comic images I've ever seen.

I voted Bloodshot, but Harbinger has the only throw-back to the original cover. That's a very tough call...

I honestly can't vote. The bloodshot is great, but the A&A is SOOOOOOOOOOOO interesting.

Why's that sad? Honestly, I think the X-O poster was the least interesting of the four. Though to be completely fair, I also think they all look great. I just think the A&A is the greatest, Harbinger is a tight second, and Bloodshot and X-O are bringing up the rear in an "everyone wins" race. :thumb:

Yeah, that doesn't mean it's bad. I don't know if Esad Ribic paints or draws. It looks like paint. IMO, line work is nearly always more popular than paintings in comics. It doesn't mean it's bad though.

If I was MADE to choose, I'd choose x-o 2.

Surprising me that it's so low.

But I love them all.

Harbinger...blew me away. It's pretty much a toss up with Harby and A&A with me though!

For me it would the Harbinger poster, but the X-O and Bloodshot are very impressive as well. Not into the style of the A&A artwork though.

Cover-wise, I've only really like the Aja 1:20 from X-O. The talking cover is clever, but if it weren't for that gimmick, I wouldn't like that cover at all and the other three are just okay to me. I like the interior pages they've shown, though.

So far for me the Aja images have been the best.

XO variant cover looks the best IMHO
The tumblr picture of Bloodshot was the best I have seen of Bloodshot
The poster for A&A is my favorite poster released this week

I kind of hope he does a variant cover for each series. I would definitely want to get them all. If they get him to do interior art for a series that would be awesome!

I would bet that the tumblr image for Bloodshot is the 1:20 variant and the poster for A&A is probably the 1:20 variant for A&A. They've already listed the variants for Harbinger, so no Aja variant for that one... :(
