Paste Magazine makes its choices for The 50 Best Comic Book Covers of 2018.
The cover for Scarlet #3 appears nowhere on this list. But it really should.

Goes to see Yuko Shimizu on the list, sees one of her covers in the preview for the whole gallery, is satisfied already.

This is great.
Outta curiosity, anyone reading any of the Sandman universe books? Are they any good?

I’m so behind on Saga. And now after 1970’s Antihero’s comment, I’m scared.

Plenty of time to catch up, after #54, Saga is on extended hiatus.

Yeahhh...I'd gotten in touch with Image Direct a while back because I decided I wanted to subscribe to Saga monthly, after catching up on all the collected volumes, and they wrote back to tell me I couldn't because it was on hiatus. Ugggh.

More seriously, Little suprised at the lack of Immortal Hulk covers. I guess it’s a very wide field of great covers this year and something is always going to get squeezed out.

Also: good to see Doe in there. Everyone here is picking up Die/going to be getting the trades, right?

Also: Making a good comic cover is hard. And, given the number of variant covers and/or covers by artists who didn't do the interior artwork, is Comic Book Cover Artist becoming its own specialty? Just another step in the Writer → Penciller → Inker → Letterer → Colorist assembly line?
