Number 04:

X-Force #9 (Marvel – 2008)

Cover art by Mike Choi & Sonia Oback

At #04 in the count-down is a wonderfully sexy and dark X-Force cover by the fantastic team of Choi and Oback. I love the way their art combines fine lines and lots of detail with a very clean slick computer animation look. It gleams AND BREATHES. Incidentally the gun enthusiast in me really appreciates Domino’s excellent trigger discipline here. I would almost guess that Mike Choi knows a little about guns or he got some good consultation as she does NOT have either finger on the trigger which is proper form for an experienced and smart gun-handler.

Check back tomorrow night for number #03 in the count-down of my Top 100 favorite comic book covers.
