It occurs to me that it seems like many comic book covers are homages. Which is fine with me. I have no problem with it. It just made me think, though, how long could I go before I hit a week where NO new comic book was released that had a cover that was an homage to something? The streak began on September 27, 2012. Let's see if it is still going on!
Week 231 was Joe Jusko's cover for Amazing Spider-Man #24, which homaged Steve Ditko's corner boxes for Amazing Spider-Man comic book issues.
Week 232 was Jeffrey Veregge's cover for America #1, which homaged the Playbill for the musical Hamilton.
Week 233 was Paul Rivoche's cover for Planet of the Apes/Green Lantern #2, which homaged Gil Kane's cover for Green Lantern #52.
