Best Comic Book Covers of the Week: 5/9/14

Check out what the staff loved in covers for the week of May 9th!

Welcome back to another edition of Best Comic Book Covers of the Week where we take a look at some of the most awesome looking comic covers. We also ask our followers on Twitter what they think as well.

DETECTIVE COMICS #31 by Francis Manapul

First up is DETECTIVE COMICS #31 by Francis Manapul. This is a very different but very cool looking cover and the background is stunning. We love the little splatters at the bottom of the page as well.

MILES MORALES: THE ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN #1 by David Marquez & Justin Ponsor

Next up is MILES MORALES: THE ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN #1 by David Marquez & Justin Ponsor. Ponsor always does stunning work with colors and shading, and his work looks fantastic with the art of David Marquez which is always top notch.

MOON KNIGHT #3 by Ryan Stegman and Jason Keith

Here is the variant to MOON KNIGHT #3 by Ryan Stegman and Jason Keith. I don't think we've ever seen Stegman do his version of Moon Knight before, but I could be wrong. His vision of the character is incredible. We love how his cape makes the shape of the crescent moon as well.

THE WOODS #1 by Matthew Woodson

Finally, here's THE WOODS #1 by Matthew Woodson. This cover feels so big and open, with these very small characters traversing through it. That's what really makes this a stand out and eye catching cover.

Let's see what you guys picked as your favorite cover on Twitter!

ORIGINAL SIN #1 by Julian Totino Tedesco

No Caption Provided

Your Twitter pick was ORIGINAL SIN #1 by Julian Totino Tedesco. Without a doubt, this is a haunting cover as heroes of the Marvel universe stand over the dead body of Uatu. It truly does look fantastic. However, I see your pick of Julian Totino Tedesco and raise you this ridiculous and hilarious Chip Zdarsky variant.
