Best and Worst Comic Book Covers For The Week of November 30, 2022

Welcome to the Best and Worst Comic Book Covers of the week of November 30, 2022! We take a look at the nominees for the best and worst comic book covers from three categories: DC Comics, Marvel Comics, and Indie comics publishers. We then crown the best cover and worst cover of the week for each of the three categories.

A comic book cover is vitally important and often overlooked in a title’s success. An effective comic book cover can lead to new readers giving a title a try and boosting sales numbers. There are two main ways a comic book cover can generate interest in the title among new readers. The first is for the comic book cover to deliver poster-quality artwork. These are covers that may not really have anything at all to do with the story inside the issue. However, the cover’s art is so phenomenal that it is worthy of being made into a poster and hung on a wall as art. The second approach is for the cover to effectively convey to the reader what type of story they can expect to get inside the issue.

No matter which approach is taken, the primary objective of a good comic book cover is to grab the consumer’s attention. The comic book cover should dominate the shelf space and help the issue stand out among all of the other comic books lining the shelf space at a local comic book shop. That cover should be able to drown out all of the competition on the shelf and command the reader to purchase the issue.
