Cover of the Week - All-New X-Men and Road to Oz

You've gotta cover your comics with something, so why not cover them with the best?  Our Covers of the Week seek to determine the greatest and purtiest comic book covers each and every week, and this time around we've got a brand new iteration of a Marvel classic and a yellow brick trail that should lead to you know where.  Check behind the cut to see these and our honourable mentions!

Ken's Cover of the Week - All-New X-Men #5 by Stuart Immonen


Ken: A good mashup of events in Jean's life, where each one stands out and the cover actually isn't barren and minimal the way a lot of covers are these daysinstead of just picking one thing, Immonen has seven different things going on, and it all looks good

Grant's Cover of the Week - Road to Oz #4 by Skottie Young




Grant: Skottie Young is one of the most fun artists going right now.  His work has a sense of playfulness and adventure that just grabs you and begs to be loved.  His Oz covers (and interiors, to be honest) are continually some wonderful stuff, and this one of Toto looking at a squirrel is deceptively simple but entirely enjoyable.

Runner-Ups:  Adventure Time: Fionna & Cake #1, Great Pacific #3, Hellboy in Hell #2
