Welcome to the new and improved- well probably not improved, but certainly new since you’ve never heard of it-  Books by their cover!  The most obnoxious reviews in comics!

World of New Krypton #5

Brandon Routh goes on trial for his performance in Superman Returns. He does get points for his suspiciously believable potrayal of a gay dude in Zack and Miri.

Blackest Night #1

DC’s new advertising deal with Skittles seems to have backfired.  In retrospect, replacing “taste the rainbow” with “taste the undead” may have been a little too edgy.

FC Aftermath: Escape #3

Even Vanna White’s legs couldn’t save  Wheel of Fortune: The Next Generation.

Brave and the Bold #25

Under the Spectre of Cancellation, Hardware and Blue Beetle fight over who is the crappier Iron Man rip-off.   (Hint: it’s definitely Hardware.)

JSA vs Kobra

After only 10 minutes, the JSA could not stand to watch any more of  Marlon Waylons as a GI Joe. Knowing how bad it is, is half the battle.

Captain America #601

“Don’t worry son!  REBORN will get better!  It’s not just another episode of LOST!”

Dark Avengers #7

“I’m crushing your heads!  I’m crushing your heads… with my WWE-esque personality changes!”

Deadpool #12

We explore the reasons why no one ever comes to Deadpool’s New Years Eve parties.

Mister Negative #2

There isn’t a joke funny enough to describe whatever’s going on here.

New Mutants #3

Dani refuses to be apart of yet another New Mutants reboot.  ”Just let me die!”

Punisher #7

Jigsaw heads over to Frank’s house to watch the new episode of Hannah Montana.  ”Miley Cyrus is a national treasure.”   Come for the dead bodies, stay for Frank dancing to ‘Best of Both Worlds’.

–And that’s it for this week’s Books by their Cover.  –it’ll get better.  In the meantime, I would like to announce that I am the New Orleans Comic Book Examiner for examiner.com.  Please come by from time to time to check out my newest articles.  I fully intended to post links here from time to time.
