5 of the best comic book covers arriving on October 3, 2018

Francesco Mattina has been on an absolute tear with his DC cover-priced variants. This one in particular is intense and well-done as it features some of Arkham Asylum's most terrifying villains. It's so good, it's already sold out for pre-orders online.

Rumor has it that the Nightwing #50 issue will have some drastic consequences for the hero in this coming edition. That could make this a book to hold onto for future value. Meanwhile, Jonboy Meyers kills it with his impressive cover, featuring the popular DC superhero ready to pounce.

Artist Stephanie Hans contributes at least two noteworthy covers this week, with her other being a higher-priced variant for Asgardians of the Galaxy. On the Sparrowhawk cover, she incorporates a number of effects, including a shatter, a shadow, and forceful wind blowing against the female character. Amazing!

If you've been avoiding Cosmic Ghost Rider, you're missing out on one of comic's top writers in the game right now, Donny Cates. While he brings the amazing stories, this Max Lim variant brings some blazing hot artwork. It's like the powerful hero is bursting through flames straight off the cover!

Deadpool is a fan favorite and this regular cover for issue No. 5 provides some gross yet interesting artwork. It's created by artist Nic Klein, and shows the horrifying, mangled, and deranged face of Deadpool. There's even a Halloween theme to it, just in time for Halloween!
