As all sorts of solicitations tumble out, it's always nice to check out a few covers here and there, especially from the Archie folks. Such as the finale to The Fox #5 with covers from Dean Haspiel, Howard Chaykin, Mike Cavallaro, Mike Norton and even Alex Toth, creating a variant cover from beyond the grave.

The fantastically-foxy finale IS HERE in Freak Magnet pt 5: "Future's End"! Emmy Award winning writer/artist Dean Haspiel (Billy Dogma, HBO's Bored to Death) is joined by acclaimed writer J.M. DeMatteis (Abadazad, Justice League 3000) to conclude the "Freak Magnet" saga of the pulp-style hero The Fox! Our hero has won the day and defeated his evil adversaries, so why does he now find himself trapped 70 years in the past, side-by-side with the legendary hero of WW2 known as THE SHIELD?! And what does the Shield's arctic battle-royale have to do with the diamond realm?! And will SOMEONE please tell The Fox, aka Paul Patton Jr., why he can't just have the simple, freak-free life he wants?? Don't miss the finale to end-em-all, and don't miss out on collecting all five "FOX FIVE" Variant Covers to this issue! With art from Dean Haspiel, Howard Chaykin, Mike Cavallaro, Mike Norton and a special ALEX TOTH throwback edition!

Oh and while we're at it, why not run the Ramon Perez cover for Archie #653?
