I love movies. Obviously. I also love comics. So when comic artists homage famous movies it really gets my nerd blood pumpin’. So I thought I’d take a look at some of my favorite movie poster homages that can be found on the covers of some surprising (and not-so-surprising) comics.

Star Wars / Spidey Super Stories #31 – Not surprising that there is at least one Star Wars homage cover out there, right? But did you expect it on Spidey Super Stories? The comic based on the Spider-Man skits from Electric Company? I kind of love that this is out there. Dr Doom as Darth Vader?! BRILLIANT!
Adventures in Babysitting / Darkwing Duck v2 #17 – Adventures in Babysitting is an awesome movie. Plus, it has one of the best posters painted by the great Drew Struzan. I really love the Darkwing Duck homage plus it’s such a cool comic to do it.
Enter the Dragon / Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles v4 #6 – There’s no more appropriate place for an Enter the Dragon homage than on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Plus, I think Jaime from Shezcrafti is gonna love that I included this one. What a great recreation of the poster.
Alien / Deadpool #40 – Deadpool’s various series over the years have actually homaged dozens of movies. This one is one of my favorites.
Aliens / Cable v2 #18 – Pretty straightforward homage of the James Cameron Aliens poster.
