“Whoever did Batgirl’s covers (seems like the same dreamy, soft style for the lovely Fables covers, too) also rocked.”
James Jean, and indeed he did both fables and batgirl covers and one of runaways. =)
“why we should talk about Alex Ross and his boring and unexciting covers?”
He does interesting interior art but I agree with you his covers are quite static and sometimes boring.

Tom Grummet’s covers for Thunderbolts were amazing, and his covers for Zemo: Born Better continue to follow in the same vein.

I can see where the Ross covers are…lacking.

I think the fact that the cover is so boring and has absolutely nothing interesting going on only accentuates the crotch bulge even more.

Ahh. I’m the only one who’s still diggin’ on Ross’ covers.

For me, it works – particularly if the lone character is largely the focus of that issue’s story. That and seeing Ross render characters I’ve never (or rarely) seen him illustrate before usually pleases me.

Civil War is probably the prettiest series with a story that I never liked. Maybe that and The Ultimates. McNiven is brilliant.
