Quote:Originally Posted by Drogioyeah. It's better.. If it was just superman without all those hyper saturated colours stuff in the background is almost a milestone appropriate cover. Haha. But full points at least for not having him simply standing in a weird pose or sitting |

| Got to admit, kind of disappointed in these covers (which it seems everyone is a little as well). The Del Otto and Middleton look like the best options and they aren't "amazing" to me... Very shocked seen as how this is issue ONE THOUSAND! | ||

| I think D.C. Tried too hard on this milestone. A simple homage cover of issue #1, or homage covers by multiple artists of famous covers of the previous 999 issues, would have sufficed. Missed the target/over thought this one. Too bad. Hope Detective Comics 1000 gets it right. | ||

| @conditionfreak I'm guessing Lex Luthor? Still can't get over these covers.@Drogio said it best, they over thought the milestone. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by Drogio Oh, definitely the regular continuity first. I remember (vaguely) the issues. Superman had beaten Lex pretty definitively, and Lex blamed him even more due to some calamity he'd just brought down on himself. So he was really pissed as I recall, way more than before. He built the suit, and then constructed a new headquarters - a man-made island somewhere, from whence to plot his revenge. At least, I think that's it. I'll have to go back and find those issues. Maybe it was the anniversary issue below? (Now THAT'S how you do a special cover.)  |

| For #1000, how would you feel about a cover showing Superman between either pictures or portraits of young Siegel and Shuster ? | ||

| @Tedsaid You sound like you are recapping the movies, except for the suit.... Interestingly enough, the suit hasn't made it to the movies yet. |

Quote:Originally Posted by det_tobor IMO DT....there can be many associations to why or what should be on the cover and if we just play it out....there may be something good after all. For me....believe it or not....I sort of like a four-color look....and the #1000 with the AC1 profile below it.....might be the one I eventually would buy if offered....thus far. Not even sure if it will be produced, but for a milestone....that one is getting closer for me. |

| That "ad" shows the patriotism of Supes. Devotion. Keeping up the hard work, in order to see and....for the milestone, yet hasn't forgotten where he came from either. If they stay in that line of thinking....it could be good. |

| Face it...they should have just stopped at 999 and rebooted. No matter how good of a cover they put out, it will never live up to expectations of what we all think issue 1000 should be. But these are still bad even for issues 1-999... |

Quote:Originally Posted by det_tobor Ug. Is it even finished? It looks like he really phoned in the clip-art Superman. This issue must be cursed. Even artists I like, even great artists, are screwing this one up. Here are two more, by Nicola Scott (kind of bad) and Tony Daniel (kind of okay). I think the main cover, variant A, is still the best (by default). I also like the Jock one, and the one by Fabok. Dell'Otto would be the winner, IMO, if not for the unfortunate bulge.   |
