MY TWO CENTS: Fantastic Astro City covers (and 2 of them this month!) I especially like the one with the space shuttle, it's so realistic. Weird but cool torch cover. Also 2 covers for Green Hornet, how awesome is that, I really enjoy this covers, Alex really goes the extra mile with these ones and I really loved the Hornet as a kid so I'm in geek heaven. Who would've thought that, as cool as they are, the Superpowers covers would be the weaker ones by comparison. ALSO THIS MONTH: Thulsa Doom and a "Meet the Bad Guys" trades with reprinted cover art.
