We have started two new themes, carrying covers and Pieta covers.
How we define them.
Carrying Cover - one person standing or flying while carrying another person.
https://comicspriceguide.com/themes/carrying-covers/pl
Pieta Covers - one person kneeling while holding another person.
https://comicspriceguide.com/themes/pieta-covers/pm
Excluded from either theme. Someone throwing someone else. Multiple people carrying one person like a funeral.
We need your suggestions. What covers can you think of that are carrying or pieta covers?
Ron

I can think of two fairly recent covers but one is a variant and the other is a second printing.
The first is the Clayton Crain Pieta variant of Amazing Spider-Man #538
where Peter is on his knees holding Aunt May who has just been shot by a
Kingpin goon who was aiming for Peter.
The second is the 2nd printing of Final Crisis #6 which is a sketch of Doug
Mahnke's last page illustration where Superman is carrying Batman's body
who had presumedly been killed by Darkseid.

Collectible,
Thank you, you sparked a memory about other Star Wars issues that were carrying or Pieta. Fantastic Four 1234 4 is a tough one. It's a mix of both which is probably why you didn't label it like you did the others.
Glorkar,
All of yours have been added. Thanks
Ron

Thank you for all the help.
Avengers 87 has the right stance but the scene is outside his legs so I didn't include it.
Kissing covers can be almost if it's obvious. Eyes closed, lips pursed, etc.

Are you planning any other themes to add? I'm having a lot of fun digging around. It's been a bit like a treasure hunt 
Some suggestions:
Action Figure, Pride, Woman's History, Black History, AAPI, 3-D, Bondage, Statue of Liberty?
I think I'd be most excited for the last three.
