Homage Cover thread

I've been wondering homage covers, /co/.
Specifically - if there are any covers released in the last ten years that'll be referenced in the future. The more I look through solicitations, the more I see the same poses, the same cliches. In the past few years, were there even any covers memorable or iconic enough that future artists would want to allude to them when making their own?

The closest I can remember are Frank Cho's "OUTRAGE!" covers, but even then it's less because the original cover was in any way, shape or form memorable, and more about one artist telling the PC culture to go to hell.

Also, favorite covers (iconic/homageable or not) thread, I guess.

X-Men Legacy had a phenomenal set of covers by Mike del Mundo, but i don't know if that series will be well known enough to warrant homages.

Pic related, one of the more standout covers in the series

I'm almost sure this cover is the one that Marvel homages-- or reuses, however you want to see it, the most.

One is the first issue of Batman & Robin under Morrison, being Dick and Damian's first team up.
The second is from a recent issue of Nightwing under Seeley(who loves to follow up on Morrison concepts), where Damian visited Bludhaven and they had to fight Professor Pyg and Dr. Hurt.

This variant alone is honest to god more entertaining than many comics today. It's just filled with so much wonder and imagery that could be a story on its own. It's almost shocking to me.

There was already a superman cover that referenced it.

Was there a cover for the recent Man-Thing that referenced "Ask me about my feminist agenda" by having him on a beach wearing that shirt, or is this one of those false-memory things?

I always hated that Superman cover because it always makes me hungry for burgers even if I'm full.

This year's FCBD Image comic had one with Spawn and that Fairyland character. Anyone got a scan?
