We’re racing to discover the Best Cover of 2017 as voted by you! You’ve been voting on your favorite covers throughout the year, and now we’re bringing those winners together into various polls to decide which comics will compete in our Best Cover of 2017 post at the end of the year. I guess you can essentially look at this as a Semi-Final round, before moving to the finals!
How this works: The top cover of each week for the months of April through December are featured below, as well as the winners from variant cover polls for select months. Along with them, I’ve included some Wild Cards. The Wild Cards will consist of covers that performed really well in their week’s poll, but just barely missed the top spot. Along with each cover, we’ll recognize the artists of the cover, and the week it won its poll (or just barely fell short). As always, you will be allowed to vote for as many covers as you’d like. The poll will be open until Friday, January 12, and then voting will close. The winners of each poll will then be collected into the Best Cover of 2017 – Cover Poll, Friday night! Your time window to vote is short, so check out the covers one more time, then get to voting!
- Please note that variant covers for the month of August through November 2017 are not included in the polls below. They will be featured in a separte cover poll, with the winning covers advancing to the Best Cover of 2017 – Cover Poll.
