   Are these comic books you reading usually available in digital/e-book format or hardcopy?

   SOME super yummy choices here!

   I’m really struck by the strong ‘TV contrast’ of Captain America. The black to white seems to give a tension to the scene too.
   Then again I’m drawn to the cyan/turquoise (like the other week) on the Fantastic Four cover as this time it lends a cold, callous feel to ol’ Doc Doom. Plus I love the simplicity of just showing the face/mask – what’s going on behind those eyes….?
   I love the style and composition of StarWars Doctor Aphra (colours not influencing me here!) Just stunning and quite possibly my favorite…
   And finally, LOVE the heat coming from Weapon X. With the weather as it is at the moment, I’d really appreciate the coat he’s wearing!!

   “What does Lois SEE in him?”
   Classic…as in I think the line was used in the ‘60s, when Brother’s DC comics were part of my early reading. Dèjá vu, anyone?

   PS: Of course, “What does X see in Y?” is a classic fiction trope.

   My aging memory hints that there was a long-ago cover featuring Lois saying the same of Supes and…Lana Lang? Some villainess? Or perhaps Kal-El wondering about Lois and Bizarro Superman?

   Off to Google-land…

   Cap’ Am’. Classic and strong, lots of storytelling there, like in the old days. Not a punch in the face but far more rewarding if one takes time to dive into it.
   Mysteries of love in space, very pulpy, fun.
   Doctor Aphra, nice compo, nice contrast between main character and background. Basically just someone scanning stuff for analyse, fun idea. 😀
