COVER CONTEST, 13 - 19 July: Steampunk

[foxley]

This week the cover contest shall be devoted to one of my favourite genres, albeit one that that has been underrepresented in comics (although that has been changing in the last decade).

This week's theme is:

STEAMPUNK

For those of you not in the know:

Steampunk is a subgenre of science fiction that incorporates retrofuturistic technology and aesthetics inspired by 19th-century industrial steam-powered machinery. Steampunk works are often set in an alternative history of the Victorian era or the American "Wild West", where steam power remains in mainstream use, or in a fantasy world that similarly employs steam power.

The RULES:

1) Post One (& ONLY ONE) Cover that fits the theme of this Week's Contest!
2) Covers must be from a Published Comic Book, Graphic Novel, or Collected Volume!
3) Covers must be Posted before Voting Begins!
4) Voting Begins 12 AM Tuesday PST and Runs Until 12 AM Wednesday PST (3 AM EST)! (This is in US time)
5) Vote by Posting the name in BOLD of the Poster whose cover best fits the theme or that you simply like the most! A vote need not be in bold, but it does make it easier to Count-The-Votes!
6) The Winner of the Contest is the Entry with the MOST Votes after the Voting-Period!
7) It's Okay to Discuss the Covers but if you Think Someone's Entry Doesn't Fit the Theme or Violates the Rules, you Don't need to Argue it in the thread, Simply Don't Vote for It!
8) Plus: Occasionally Voting will Result in a Tie! The Person Who Started the Thread will do the Counting that Week will Usually call for a TIE-Breaking --Vote from Someone who has Not Yet Voted!
9) AFTER the Tie-Breaker Vote, Voting Ends and the Winner is Declared by The One Who Started the Thread (or assigned surrogate) and Thus will do the Counting.

Good theme! Ironically, I read the first Lady Mechanika TPB a month or so ago and liked it! Meanwhile, here's Steampunk Batman!

I love Lady Mechanika. I've been buying the various minis ever since the first issue came out (even though it took five years for the original series to finish coming out due to issues with Aspen). It's been a lot more regular since Joe Benitez started Benitez Productions and took control of all aspects of the book, and Benitez's love for his creator-owned character is obvious.

Ah, you nabbed my pick.

This series was amazing, I wish it had caught on.
