Your cover bias is showing, Ron. But I do like these three as well as the Oz and Mighty covers. But I gotta give it up for Finch's Psylocke and Greek Street too. That's about frat houses, right?

Slightly off topic, but has anyone seen the throwback Bullpen page in Marvel books this month? I love that picture of JR Jr. I was once contemplating stealing that image to use as my avatar. Such great hair.

This Week in Baseball: Joe Quesada & Matt Fraction?

Forget about the Babe, Logan could   have seen the Cubs win their last World Series! But I gotta say, I don't think Wolvie would be a fan of the Yankees (too Empirical) or the Blue Jays (too irrelevant). I'm thinking he'd follow the Mariners out of loyalty to Ichiro.
