The New Teen Titans cover is such classic imagery with the villains so large and poor Speedy all tiny and alone fighting them. I love how powerful it is. The other image is just kind of meh to me.
(2) I like the franticness of the Blue Devil cover but ultimately the
Hot Rod one seems more interesting with the billowing smoke and solo racer.
(3) I get more of the
Big Town storyline from the cover image than with Booster Gold and it's more interesting to me. Booster's is a great glamour image but, honestly, those rarely do much for me.

Marvel Premier speaks to that part of me that
loves teams breaking through images of other things (SEE: All-New, All-Different X-Men
) and it seems more dynamic to me than the sort of generic team shot of the All-Star Squadron.
(5) Okay, first of all, these are both hilarious in their own ways. I love this! My vote goes to
Superman's Girlfriend Lois Lane because she's making out with Green Arrow on the cover! (He's such a ladies man.
) I'm just way more curious about this issue and, honestly, I love the crack.
(6)
My Secret Story because the pose raises questions and the guy isn't quite as smarmy...
(7) I am loving the ladies kicking butt! Gotta go with
Leave it to Binky though because the humor hits me just right.
(8) Giving it to
Birds of Prey even though the awkward flails doesn't do it for simply for being the lesser of two evils. The Titans cover wreaks of try-to-hard to me. (SIDE NOTE: I wanted so badly to love The Titans and just... did
not. It had so many of my favorite characters, so much potential and did nothing for me in the end.
)
(9) Liking the evil vibe in
All Star Comics much more than the humor one with Archie.
(10) It goes to
Lovelorn for being slightly less obnoxious story-wise for me and, I think, the more interesting cover with the big fanfare behind her to give that contrast of her pain verses the joy of the day.
(11) I'm not sure why but I just like all the different planes in
Crackajack Funnies more than the solo plane.
(12) Huh, I remember reading that issue of
Teen Titans and not caring for Donna Troy so much but eh. I do like it better than the Marvel Team-up even with the ridiculous line about dead Robin (OBVIOUSLY NOT GONNA HAPPEN) because the imagery is so much more dynamic. And the title in the Marvel one, I think, takes away from the cover image too because it makes everything too busy.

Woody Woodpecker is so cute! The Horace cover has a little bit of the try too hard feeling too it...
(14) Ooh, I like that
Journey Into Mystery cover - very
mysterious. Rom feels more done before to me.
(15) I don't really like either of these but, push comes to shove, I suppose
New Terrytoons are pretty cute. The cover is more interesting to me with the bubbles and color, though I am impressed that Barbie is actually doing something!
(16) Surprisingly (to me), I prefer
Arak Son of Thunder - it's dynamic even if he does look roided out. The Ghosts cover has too much text and hits obvious trope beats that don't really entice me to the story.
(17) Hmm, neither of these do much for me. I would probably rather read
Flash Comics, though, because I'm more interested in the story potential. (Also, Flash.
) I like their teamwork, too. The pin-up thing has never done much for me, so Crack Comics is out... even if it does have a hilariously inappropriate name.

Madame Xanadu manages to be sexy without being full on pin-up or overdone. I really like the sensibility of the cover; I would pick that comic up for sure. I also think it's really beautifully done. All of that said, I also really do like the Age of Bronze cover and would probably pick that comic up, as well. This was a hard one! However, I can't help but be pleased when I see a female character not reduced to sex appeal and still being sexy and interesting.
(19) There's something really classic about
The Losers with the silhouettes. All the little bits - stripe of color with a sunset, bullet hole through the name, cards with what I assume are character names - are so enticing. It is, to me, quintessential comic book and one that I would be interested to read.
(20) I have to vote
Strange Suspense Stories for two reasons: #1 - the other cover is so pathetic I could scream and #2 - I'm a sucker for word balloons coming out of unexpected places.
Who is behind that curtain? A more fascinating quandary than who is not calling Girl #413. It's also a more active and, therefore interesting to me, cover than the Romantic Story one.
Wow that's a long reply! Welp, I enjoyed it. Thanks, Teeds!
