This Months Featured Artist :
Lucio Freaking Parrilo! I've always enjoyed his covers, but what was fire seems like liquid Hot magma recently! Carla Cohen gets it - hes kind of a big deal!
"He just keeps melting faces with these damn covers!" - Commissioner Gordon
What AI thinks : Parrillo's work on Red Sonja and Vampirella is the stuff of legend. His signature style combines painterly finesse with a photographer's eye for composition. Every cover is a masterclass in dynamic poses, rich color palettes, and lighting that makes you wonder if he's secretly a cinematographer. The man doesn't just illustrate characters; he creates moments. Cinematic, breathtaking moments.
What makes Parrillo's variants so collectible? It's simple: they're gallery-quality pieces that happen to feature your favorite characters. Fantasy, horror, adventure—whatever the genre, his covers elevate the entire book. Collectors hunt these down like treasure, and honestly, we get it. One look at a Parrillo cover and you understand why.

Cover - Dan Quintana
Big RigDan Released this foil cover at SDCC and it blew my mind. I got lucky and stumbled across Heavy Mental's store and found that his exclusive Big Rig #2 was a white virgin. Which I consider to be the Best cover of the Year.
