Jordan told me about this thing on Comic Book Resources (which is a comic book website), where they do this top 10 list of the best Marvel covers.
Hey Jordan?
JORDAN: Hey, Nate. It’s on “Comics Should Be Good,” one of their blogs over there.
NATE: Yeah, there. So you went there, and it had the Top 10 for July. Just want to double-check my math here…how many of the covers that I commissioned for July are on the Top 10 list?
JORDAN: Well, it would appear to have six covers that you commissioned.
NATE: hang on hang on hang on…I’ve got something in my eye, having trouble reading the screen…how many out of 10?
JORDAN: Six, also known as 6. Though I am not sure why me typing it again would make you see it clearer.
NATE: It helps. So they do this list every month?
JORDAN: Pretty much, in one form or another. Sometimes it runs a bit late. I think they did 3 months worth in the last week.
NATE: I scrolled down to see previous entries, and I’ve got FIVE out of 10 for June and FOUR out of 10 for May. This means in the last 3 months, according to this list, I've commissioned 15 of the 30 best covers for Marvel.
Whitey, you go to this site ALL the time. How have you not mentioned my dominance of this list before now!?
JORDAN: Well, like I said, they are a little behind on them. A couple of months. Three months ago you were miles away in a different office from me.
NATE: Just hurts, Jordan. Hurts. Well, seeing this list, it makes me think I’m getting too high-profile. I think I should consciously try to make really bad covers.
JORDAN: I can draw them for you. What comic do you need a cover for?
NATE: That reminds me. As a hobby, I like to put Jordan in my comics and let him find out later. Below is a page from the upcoming Marvel Adventures the Avengers 36.

This is them.
