MY TWO CENTS: No DC covers whatsoever, because the Astro City arc ended. This is also the last Torch cover and Alex is ending it with a bang (literally and figuratively). The Project Superpowers cover is sooo creepy, I was having trouble sleeping, I mean Alex's style makes that demon-creature so real it's scary. The action figure-themed Black Terror cover is quite the opposite, so innocent and wholesome. Too bad we can't see the Green Hornet cover due to a big secret within its story. I'll have it posted as soon as it's released.

That cover is AWESOME.

I am receiving the Torch miniseries, and it's GREAT.

I like that Black Terror cover. Reminds me of an old story about the Atom, wherein he masquerades as an action figure prize in a box of popcorn and takes a beating from a child. Wonder if something similar occurs here. Will have to check it out. :)
