In Retroactive we take you on a visual comic cover tour of the past covering all the covers for a particular series. Each entry will cover an entire year and we’ll always have one comic from DC and one comic from Marvel. At the end of each edition of Retroactive one of us will select our overall favourite cover for that year for each series. Last time on Retroactive we covered Gotham Central 2006 and Generation X 1998. If you need a refresher, just click HERE. Below you’ll find the two series that wwayne is currently covering. Click on that specific logo to be instantly taken directly to that series. The last section is reserved for wwayne’s Top Picks from each year. Click the logo or travel to the fourth page to view them.

I’ve never seen or read any Batman Confidential, so this retroactive will be new for me. I think I’ll go for Batman Confidential #6 as my choice, with Batman surrounded by lots of robots. You don’t very often see Batman fighting robots on a cover, so its very different. Generation X #38 is a great cover. I like how the black and white art work seems to spring to life, almost as if the colourful characters are leaping from the art itself and right off the page. A fun retroactive, have a great new comic book day everyone!
” I think I’ll go for Batman Confidential #6 as my choice, with Batman surrounded by lots of robots.” As I mentioned in the post, your top pick is my runner – up.
“Generation X #38 is a great cover.” I completely agree with you. It’s a brilliant 4th wall breaking image. I decided to give this cover the bronze medal, with Generation X # 41 getting the silver one: an unknown man being about to kill Jubilee? You definitely caught my attention! 🙂 I also love the gorgeous colouring.
Another cover I considered for the bronze medal is Generation X # 36, because of its very beautiful background.
I wish you a happy new comic book day too. Thank you for providing your picks! 🙂
You’re welcome Wayne, you chose some great covers there as well. Cheers! Been a great new comic book day.
