Back on my old blog, I ran a series of related posts on Mondays – there was Monday Covers where I just picked out random, favourite covers; Monday Memes where I picked out covers that shared a theme; Monday Memories when I looked back at random comics from years gone by; and Who Was Who Is Who during which, just after the launch of the New 52, I went through every issue of Who’s Who and tried to predict whether they’d appear in the New 52 or not.
I’ve been thinking about doing something else for a Monday post and so, HUGELY influenced by the wonderful Super-Team Family blog which has been doing this for years (and a lot better) on an almost daily basis, I’ve mashed up a few comic covers.
I randomly generate two years and two months and then compare the titles I own from both those dates, trying to find some covers that, with a little basic photoshopping, I can mash together.
Experimenting with adding dialogue – you remember when there used to be dialogue on covers, don’t you?
(Shame I forgot to get rid of the bar code!)
Ok, I’ll bite. Just what ARE Kyle and Hal doing? Besides an homage to the Wonder Twins?
Early Darkstars’ art after Travis Charest left sucked for me. I mean you had the great art of Mike Deodato Jr on the covers, and then you had that boring-ass, bland, vanilla interior art by Mike Collins. Clearly not all Mikes are made the same.

Haha! I’ve no idea what they’re doing – it was just the best way to cram them all on the cover.
And yeah, Darkstars went down hill art wise but I still enjoyed the series on the whole.
