Because nobody demanded it, a new blog series! In this new series, I shall cover (hyuk! hyuk!) awesome comic book covers just because.

I realize there’s no actual point in showing you some of these covers but hey, why the hell not? Click on the images to enlarge.

Captain America: “DAMMIT, BUCKY. I TOLD YOU TO QUIT HANGING OUT WITH NAZIS!”
