MY TWO CENTS: Fine Silver Agent cover on Astro City. We see the last 2 covers for chapter 2 of Project Superpowers, one's noisy, the other's not. The Black Terror cover is odd as usual, that's what I love about them. But the award goes to the Green Hornet cover, it looks very classy, like one of those vintage movie posters, like "Gone with the Wind" and such.

Hi Andres,

Agree with your comments. The Green Hornet cover looks like Alex might have embellished someone else's pencils? Anyway it's cool. I seem to remember that Alex prefers action shots to montages but he seems to be doing lots of both these days. Black Terror is cool for those who have not read about him.

Regards
