Once more, with feeling: Ninth Art marches onto the blood-soaked battlefield left by the bloggerati to take up the call for the year's best comic book covers. Among them, covers for "Love Fights," "100 Bullets," "1602," "The Losers" and, yes, even "Rawhide Kid."

I'm a little disappointed that nothing by Tony Harris made the cut. But I'm too busy hammering my swords into plowshares to argue the point.
