The WORST Modern Comic Cover Yet???

[bryan91]

I kind of like it too.

[RockMyAmadeus]

I am really surprised so many of you like this cover???

 

I have tried hard to step back and look at it differently but I can't get past the "it sucks" reaction...

 

I still respect all your opinions but your wrong!!!

 

 

 

my wrong?

 

No, the other guy's wrong. Your wrongs are alright.

Is there ANY modern comic cover that's as bad as this one??? I can not believe that this is the "alternate" cover IDW wants you to spend an additional $3.99 on?!?!?!?!

 

 

I appreciate the tongue-in-cheek nature of that cover. I think it is intentionally cheesy, and intended to evoke a laugh and a little bit of nostalgia for those that may have collected the action figures.

I agree. I don't even read GI Joe comics but I would pick this up if I saw it just because I played with those toys as a kid.

It dosen't look like they put too much effort into the creation of it.

They should've let this guy create it.

I actually quite like the GI Joe Variant, although the TF Optimus Prime one wins hands down.

 

As far as Modern eye-sores go, IMO this is the worst offender by a country mile

I call B.S. on that one.

For Your Consideration:

 

 

I shelled out $7 for the variant because I could not pay good money for the above.

[A-DONIS]

What's more disturbing is that you bought that book.

[Tatterdamillion]

This is what the cover SHOULD look like:

 

My friend took this photo! I have a puzzle of this.

I enjoy the Guild web series, and the comics. That Chaykin cover though *shudder*.

I'm not a gamer, but the series is a lot of fun. Felicia Day = Geek Bait.

 

 

The variant I bought, while not great, is still much better than the Chaykin.

I would respond if I could track down a cogent thought to respond to. Maybe Tracker could help.

Why are they using the vintage Stalker figure when all the rest are from the modern 25th anniversary line??? I would have gladly donated my Stalker to the photographer...

I'm a big G.I. Joe action figure fan and I don't like any of the covers.

 

1st: The selection of toys is terrible. They should have gone all vintage, or all current figures. If vintage, the best version of each character. If new, the anniversary figures have consistantly gotten better and there are much better versions to use.

 

2nd: The layouts are boring. They should have took pictures at SDCC. Check these pictures out of the aircraft carrier they had on display. If they would have gotten a professional photographer to take pictures of this diorama, they could have made some really cool covers.

But it's a vintage Flagg with modern figures

[Shaven Kev-migration]

I think they could have done something more dynamic with the figures...some close ups or something...
