I really like much of the work being done on covers, as many people do obviously, and the level of talent across the board is impressive. I'm guilty of buying moderns just for the cover if I see one that stands out to me. And I'm a sucker for Parrillo covers no matter the subject. But at NYCC last weekend I walked by a table at one of the dealers that commissions covers and their entire table display was covers that amounted to nothing more than head shots of the various characters. Some of them were beautifully rendered, but when seen all together like that they became very mundane and boring. Of course there are plenty more covers being done that are dynamic, even if they don't necessarily depict something that's happening in the comic itself, but man was it a bummer to see all of those covers that were just heads. Boring ol' heads.

As long as someone has their lists, if they submitted one, seems fine by me. If someone submitted a list, but no one is able to check it, then we should wait.- 1,092 replies

yeah I had the HoS at a fine or so before the stains on the back were taken into consideration, so went 5.5. I don't think it was a massive gift grade, but I was playing the odds in case it came back a 5.0. I totally blew it on the FF though with a 4.5. I didnt' look closely enough at the tear at the bottom staple on the spine, I guess.
