Tony Harris Highlander # 1 Cover


Dynamite Entertainment has revealed the covers for next month's Highlander # 1. The other two aren't bad at all, but I enjoy Tony Harris art, so I'll be hopefully seeking this one. What a pleasant surprise that he'll be doing covers for this series. I hope the contents can live up to them.

September Cover Previews

I only took a quick look at September's covers when they came out, and I didn't make up this posting right away. As it was, only one image jumped out at me. Maybe if I find some others I like later, I will add them.

Ghost Rider # 3 by Mark Texeira:


Of course, this artist worked on Ghost Rider years ago. I can still recognize his style with possibly some new techniques added. Or maybe those come from the colorist.

Recent Print Ads I Like

This one is from the June, 2006, issue of Computer Gaming World (# 263):


This design is cool for ads, but I think it blocks out too much space normally used for cover art on the comics themselves.


This next pair is from Wired 14.06:



And this on the other side of that page:



Even though I don't drink much soda, no coffee and have little desire to eat through my teeth and stomach lining with this product, I still think it is a cool ad and product design, so maybe I'll cave and try it at some point because I do sometimes like coffee flavoring.


And finally, from the May 26-28, 2006, USA Weekend:


According to the facing story, Danica Patrick runs 5+ miles a day except race days. Do they still need someone to play Wonder Woman in the movie version? Or just forget that and do a comic book on this gal as she is. She'd still need some super powers, or would she?
