Top 10 Comic Book Covers

Alright, we haven't had any comic related posts in a while. How about top comic book covers? Sound like a plan? Good 'cause that's what we're doing.

10) Transmetropolitan- Lust for Life

The first time I saw the cover for this trade I knew it was a series I had to read. And now Spider Jerusalem is pretty much my hero.

 9) Nth Man #1

I bought this comic when I was 8 years old because I was trying to figure out how he could spin that sword and not chop off his fucking arm. I'm 30 and still trying to figure that shit out. The sign of any great cover.

8) Punisher - Born

This cover is a trip. It's like something you'd see in a psychiatry presentation examining the inner workings of a deranged soldiers mind.

7) Superman - The Death of Superman

I've never been a huge Superman fan but I had to buy this when it came out. The impact of the death of an American icon was profound. Then of course like all comic book characters he was resurrected by the all powerful dollar.

 6) Wolverine #50

Have to give Marvel a lot of credit for this one. The cover is actually a faux file folder with claw marks.

5) Spider-Man #50

Maybe Marvel has something with the #50 and badass covers. This one is so iconic it was referenced in Spider-Man 2 as well as other comics.

 4) Spectre #0

Bought this comic, never read it, have no earthly clue what it's about. The cover kicks that much ass.

 3) Preacher #1

Just look at it! You know some wild shit is behind that cover.

2) Iron Man #128

Tony Stark all strung out and sporting some hobo chic clothing. It doesn't get any better than this.

1) Batman - The Dark Knight Returns

Simple and powerful. The stripped down image is very contrary to the contents inside which helped revolutionize Batman and comics as a whole.

5 Comic Book Fights I Want To See

My own personal "What if.." battle royale.  

5) Batman vs Iron Man - The ultimate rich kid brawl. The world's greatest detective matching dollars and gadgets with the industrialist playboy. I think Tony Stark would have the upper hand at first due to superior fire power but in the end I see Bruce as the victor. Given time, he would find the proverbial chink in the armor.

4) The Punisher vs Rorschach - Head to head psychotic vigilantes. Walter and Frank share an adherence to violence as a necessary evil, making for a gory bout. After a long, grotesque battle in which blood and possibly limbs would be lost, I see Frank walking out alive.

3) Spider Jerusalem vs Dwight McCarthy - The anarchist writer against the nihilist photographer. A gritty urbanite fight to the death. Dwight's dark brooding chivalry matched with Spider's unhinged hatred for all humanity. Bullets, blood and a disrupted bowel later, I see Spider standing winner with his filthy assistants.

2) Joker vs Delirium - Crazy is as crazy does. Packing that much insanity into a comic book probably has rules and regulations against it, but damn it I want to see it. While Delirium is not known for fighting prowess, her vast powers as one of the Endless would enable her to turn Mr. J into a potted flower or something along those lines.

 1) Superman vs The Saint of Killers  - The title fight of the century! The Man of Steel in a duel with the Angel of Death. Supes would put up a good fight - shooting eye beams, using super breath, hurling large objects, etc. But in the end the Saint would just get pissed and gun down the red and blue boyscout.
