Wonder Woman in general has been slaying. There's no stopping her comic book series.

Yeah that WW cover is the best rendition I've ever seen, and I generally don't even like her in capes but with the hood it looks awesome and reminds me of some of the movie footage we've seen.

WW cover is by far the best of these.

Like others, i don't really get the Action comics cover, i'm sure the content of the issue will shed some light on it.

Red Hood cover is pretty funny.

I'm sorry, i know this is comic books with people flying and shooting lasers out of their eyes...but sitting on a cloud? Even giving the impression of leaning back in said cloud....come on...nobody can "sit" on a cloud, let alone "lean back" on one...terrible cover...

That Jenny Frison Wonder Woman has a bit of a green tone in her face. I thought it was Gamora for a second!

Raphael Albuquerque = WOOOOOOW

A really nice batch. love the Scalera Red Hood cover. The Frank Action Comics one is nice (albeit not as nice as the Clay Mann standard cover that was revealed a while back).

I think I'll go with the original cover for Action Comics #965. Are they not doing the Monster Variants this October? I really liked those in the past.

Those are ALL amazing looking covers. I usually don't buy variants unless they're sketch variants but I think I may have to for these.

I love them all. Especially the Action Comics & the Superwoman ones. I love Lois power walk & confidence & I love the subtle sexy in the Superwoman cover. Plus she's sitting on clouds! How badass is that? Who cares if it's impossible this is a comic book. None of this stuffs possible lol
