Cover me: The "official" Marvel solicitations for July have been posted (they were actually "unofficially" leaked last week at Millarworld).

Since I already commented on the listings on April 13, all that's left is to look at the pictures. It's nice to see Marvel is starting to inch away from those dull "iconic" pinups covers, in which the title character(s) struck essentially the same pose month in and month out. Sure, it looks as if most of them still have the depth of a convention sketch. But look hard enough and you find a gem like Dave Johnson's cover to Captain America #29. There's action, humor, more than one character ... and even a word balloon!
