Wow. July is going to be really busy for me, Batman-wise, even if I just stick with Snyder and Tomasi.

Francis Manapul makes the best damn covers in the business as far as I'm concerned. He's only one issue to their story and it could quite easily suck from here on out. But you simply cannot look at those cover designs and not tell me he's the best damn cover artist in the business.
