Valentines Day

The best celebration of Valentine's Day is a celebration of what a terrible holiday it actually is. Jonesy, protagonist of the eponymous miniseries by Sam Humphries and Caitlin Rose Boyle, would absolutely agree. An angsty teen cupid with a pet ferret and a donut-artisan dad, Jonesy has the power to make people fall in love, but can't make anyone fall in love with her. So Valentine's Day is bound to be rough, as we see in Jonesy #1, available tomorrow, February 10, from Boom Box.

I'm already about a week into celebrating Christmas, but even I think that it might be a little too early to start thinking about Valentine's Day.

We make a regular practice at ComicsAlliance of spotlighting particular artists or specific bodies of work, as well as the special qualities of comic book storytelling, but because cartoonists, illustrators and their fans share countless numbers of great pinups, fan art and other illustrations on sites like Flickr, Tumblr, DeviantArt and seemingly infinite art blogs that we’ve created Best Art Ever (This Week), a weekly depository for just some of the pieces of especially compelling artwork that we come across in our regular travels across the Web. Some of it’s new, some of it’s old, some of it’s created by working professionals, some of it’s created by future stars, some of it’s created by talented fans, and some of it’s endearingly silly. All of it is awesome.

Over the years, we here at ComicsAlliance have brought you definitive rankings of the various comics-related valentines parents can buy for their kids at their local pharmacies and big-box stores. We sure have had a lot of fun cracking jokes about mass murderer General Zod wishing kids an enjoyable day and Spider-Man's flying motorcycle. When Editor-in-Chief Andrew Wheeler threw a twenty in my face and told me, "You've got the valentines beat this year, Wilson," I thought that's what I'd be doing. Cranking out a few yuks about some cheap novelties. Little did I know that I would be taking a trip...down the rabbit hole.

Avengers artist Jerome Opeña took to his Instagram account to wish his followers a Happy Valentine's Day in the best way possible: he recorded himself drawing Starfox, a.k.a Eros, a.k.a. The Sexiest Avenger. Also, there's music. It's pretty great, you guys.

Valentine's Day is upon us once again, which means that tomorrow, we are all legally required to give the people we love little pieces of paper that sum up exactly how we feel about them, in tribute to a Catholic saint who was clubbed to death and beheaded. Truly, it is the most romantic of all times. But for superhero fans, it does present a problem. Obviously, we all want to express our devotion
