This weeks Burpee’s Got You Covered is almost entirely dominated by Marvel. There is only one exception in the whole list. Outside of that I’m introducing a special category I like to call, “The WTF Were They Thinking Cover of the Week”. Over time I’ll introduce little side categories like this when necessary. This week it was definitely necessary. I think you’ll agree. So let’s get to it!
Trace Adkins is Luke McBain #2
By Brian Stelfreeze
I mean seriously? At what point did someone in the comic industry think that this book would be a great idea? I saw the cover and started cracking up. It’s just so fucking absurd. Haha At least its only a mini and I don’t have to buy it.

5. Avengers: Initiative #31
By David Yardin
Just four words for this cover: Taskmaster Like A Boss! If that reference is lost on you I’m very sorry.
By Gerald Parel
Cool cover. I dig that the Bucky side of the shield is clean and the Steve side is dirty and used. Pretty cool touch I think.
By Jae Lee
This cover is spooky as hell. Not reading this title but I do enjoy the Gunslinger books. Jae Lee is a fantastic artist. I would like to see more of his work inside the covers of comics I personally read.
By Adam Kubert
There’s an old school B-Movie Horror vibe going on here. The play of the Wolvie shadow in the back with the grainy look makes for a pretty cool cover. This arc in general has had some fairly satisfying covers but this one is my favorite so far. Probably my favorite arc of this title too.

Very captivating image. The helmet propped up with a rifle is an image that is very clear to those who live in the current climate of the world. The blood raining from the sky just adds to the ominous cover. I also get the feeling that this is an homage to a movie poster but I can’t quite place it. If you know if it is then please hit the comment button and let me know.
That’s all folks! So what did you think about my choices? What would be your choices for the best covers of the week? Please share and discuss if you would. I’m still aiming to make this an interactive conversation that we can all have while we watch Sunday morning football or whatever we all do on Sundays. Anyway, next week is kind of slim on choices so I’ll have to come up with something different. That’s always a dangerous option. See ya next week!
