Valiant is doing some great stuff since its reboot last year and now, coming up this April is the first crossover "Harbinger Wars" connecting Harbinger and Bloodshot - in fact it's supposed to be a brutal collision between the two. Though I'm still catching up on Harbinger starting with the first trade Omega Rising and have yet to dig into Bloodshot, I am already really excited about this upcoming crossover. The first Bloodshot: Setting the World on Fire trade is going to be released this week as well; on Febr 13.

"Harbinger Wars" will have three all-new jumping-on points with standalone story arcs in:

• Harbinger Wars #1 (of 4) on April 3rd
• Harbinger #11 on April 10th
  
• Bloodshot #10 on April 17th

This is my second post in general and in the series of cover sets I like.

I love comic book covers! Sometime I do even collect digital covers of books I do not even read and will never read - even Marvel. Well...

Comic covers are amazing pieces of art. Of course, some are better than other. Sometimes it's single cover that stands out. Sometimes it's a set of covers -from a mini-series, story arc, or crossover- that follows a certain theme and style. And then there's covers that may or may not look nice individually, but when combined (joined) they will show a bigger picture. I love the creative idea behind it. There are set where combining the covers isn't really doing anything (e.g only the background connects, but not the characters and objects in the front). In this case, there's only 1 character and 1 object. It's very simple but effective!

Enter Negan and his favorite weapon Lucille - a baseball bat wrapped with barbed wire around the end - as shown on the 6 covers of the Something to Fear arc. The covers are from the 2nd printing (#97-99, 101-102) and 3rd printing (#100). Needless to say I am a huge fan of The Walking Dead. Enjoy!

Now, I'm going to do something rather unusual: A blog post! About Marvel Now! About Ultron! So many firsts...

Why these covers? I just love the contrast of colors (dark gray metal vs pink), lines (circular vs rectangular), the overall matte tone, and how Ultron looks; especially in the first 2 covers. Besides, I may not be the biggest fan of the Marvel Universe but I do like alternative realities and tales of the apocalypse so I'm looking forward to this series.

Age of Ultron, 2013 A.U. - variant covers #1-5 by artist Adi Granov (??? see note below):

Here's the next three variant covers of this series... as of May 2013.

Note: I am still not sure if these covers were created by Adi Granov or a South-Korean artist with the alias Rock-he Kim?
