How does one get gigs doing comic cover art for companies like BOOM or Dynamite? I would say DC or Marvel, but you have to be pretty damn good to reach that tier.
But in general, how to artists get these gigs? Did artists approach the company, or did the company approach the artist?
In the case of Tyson Hesse, he was already well-known online for his comic Boxer Hockey. I'm curious how he got gigs doing Bravest Warrior or Secret World of Gumball covers for BOOM, if they found him because of his comic, or if he submitted his work to them.

maybe you could find an artist who did a cover, and look up their tumblr and send them a polite ask?

What I'll say is you definitely wont be approached to do work unless you're already established and maybe only if you're specifically established in this area. No one here will outright tell you how to get a career started but it's not that simple as making good work and getting work; there is some luck involved with getting your foot through the door. My only advice is you will have to be outgoing, probably more important than talent to some degree. Write emails, try to meet people IRL if possible. Start with small, attainable goals to start getting some work out there, build a portfolio and work you way up.

This is worth exploring. Any information coming from people with experience is better than what you'll find here. Plus you never know talking to artists may help find a lead for you to explore and get some work out there.
