This is the cover for SUPERMAN #177, that ships in December. The story focuses on Toyman. I think the over is hilarious! Check it out:

I love that "really flies!!!" stamp!

Sigh. Except it reminds me of how often the stories are nowhere near as good as the cover image.

Still, I'd far rather have cool cover art than not. :D

Jpeh Loeb is writing - how can it be bad? He did the amazing Superman For All Season and al lthose Batman Halloween titles! His most recent issue, SUPERMAN #174, was an astonishing story.

yes..I know..I seem to reply to all of the comic cover art lately..but..they covers have been so good lately..

that's a hilarious cover....

most manga stuff looks funny (the Star Wars ones were sorta iffy lookin')...but this takes the cake...looks like those new "super deformed" star wars figures from japan...(Palm Talkers).

I wonder what Bat's would look like..

Hey, that's quite nifty. Good comic book art for sure. If I wasn't cutting back my comic book purchases, I would pick it up!

Hee hee! I wonder if this will annoy or amuse the staunchly anti-anime...

Recall that Bat-Mite robot from the ep with the crazed industrialist millionare and Mr. Freeze? That's what I picture.
Imagine a whole cover of DCU chibis, though...now that would bugger up one's mind....

Y'know, Superman's new costume is really starting to grow on me. Superdeformed or no, this shot is a lot better drawn than the previous shot I saw (shown at http://www.dccomics.com/directcurre...own/daos596.jpg).

LOL! That looks hilarious and awesome at the same time! I love it! It's the authenticity that gets me. It even says "Superman" in Japanese up top. I don't know what the heck this doll does, but I want it. lol ;)

I like the coloring effect on the packaged toy at the bottom of the pic - it actually looks a week bit real. The cover is a definite keeper, though!
