While The Tick may not be on everyone’s mind this week he’s certainly on my mind.  His new live action show premiered Friday on Amazon mostly to widespread apathy but it’s reignited my curiosity for the character.  Like him or not, the wild blue yonder is one of the most successful indie superheroes there is, emerging out of the bubbling stew of creativity that was 1980s underground comics to be a major media force in the 1990s. 

In his over 20 year career the Tick has been adapted to live action, animation, video games, and a whole avalanche of comics, to the point that I’d say he deserves to be counted alongside the likes of Hellboy, Spawn, and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as one of the truly iconic superheroes not to come from DC or Marvel.  Given all that, and the fact I’ve now got an excuse to re-examine some of his stuff, let’s dive into the shallow end and get the cover story on the top 12 covers featuring The Tick.

Well, today’s the day, the long-awaited premiere of Ghostbusters 2016.  At the time of writing, I haven’t seen it yet as I’m getting this article out of the way in advance but I’m personally really looking forward to it.  I like the cast; Paul Feig is a amusing director, and I’m thoroughly interested to see the new spins on Ghostbusting this new generation puts together.  In the meantime, Ghostbusters are just dominating the cultural landscape, so I figured I’d join in with this week’s cover story taking a look at the Marvel comics spun out of the 1986 animated show The Real Ghostbusters. 

I already wrote about the series but if you missed that: it was a hit animated series continuing the team’s adventures from the film and fleshing out their characters.  The tie-in comic embodied the visual style and quirky humor of the show and the film perfectly and feature some amazingly good work in this medium.  So, with that said, let’s dive into the shallow end and get the cover story on the top 20 best Real Ghostbusters covers. 

Cover Story - Top 15 Deadpool Covers

Last Friday marked the premiere of the Deadpool movie. I haven’t seen it yet, but the early buzz is very positive, and it’s apparently on track to be one of the biggest hits of the year. Personally, I’ve never been a huge Deadpool fan, though I’m not going to begrudge anyone who does enjoy the merc with a mouth’s antics.  

He’s a hyper-active, unkillable lunatic with complex relationship with self-awareness. Having seen Freakazoid, Bugs Bunny, and the Mask, I get why that would be popular.  Given that Deadpool’s had a number of comics through the years, and I run a cover blog, let’s dive into the shallow end and get the cover story on the top 15 Deadpool comic covers.
