Stark Resilient Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 I always thought it'd be really cool if they did editions dressed up to look like the books that contain the message. Essentially make them look like various religious texts on the covers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the hunt begins Edited April 21, 2015 by projekt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SquareChaos Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 EAST OF WEST, THE APOCALYPSE: YEAR ONE HC STORY: JONATHAN HICKMAN ART / COVER: NICK DRAGOTTA JULY 8 / 504 PAGES / FC / T+ / $49.99 The oversized prestige collection of the First Year of The Apocalypse. Collects EAST OF WEST #1-15. YESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!! Woo! Man, I already posted my crazy 'shut up and take my money' image, so I guess I'll just have to show my enthusiasm with text and a pre-order.

Stark Resilient Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 The more I look at the cover for the hardcover, the more I kinda hope it's one of those placeholder covers. It looks too much like something outta a Hickman/Bodenheim comic, which don't get me wrong, I love the work they do together, but I think this cover doesn't quite do justice to the art of EoW, specifically Martin's brilliant colors. I'm not really feeling the Orange Death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's probably what my biggest issue is, If it were black with regularly covered Death on it, I'd be fine with it.. Or if like, Apocalypse: Year One had flashback Death, Year Two had Issue 1 Death, and Year Three had Eye-Patch Death on it that'd be cool.. But just the Orange seems so random..

SquareChaos Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 It fits in with a lot of the other covers, but I'd like to see something special for this book took. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbalroman Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 The five ghost HC had a place keeper pic for the preorder. I would think this might be the same. Maybe Felix can give us a little insight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SquareChaos Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I don't like it... but strongly feel it is similar to preceding covers. If you made it a half cover and slapped the logo under him I'd believe it was next month's book. Not saying I'm right and your wrong, but that is my take.

If you made it a half cover and slapped the logo under him I'd believe it was next month's book. Not saying I'm right and your wrong, but that is my take. I don't take it that way.. You're certainly entitled to feel the way you do.. I would agree with you if slapped an orange background on the top half. It doesn't seem like much, but all the covers have a solid cover up top, with the image tinted in the same shade, and since Dragotta took over the cover work, he's added some textures to the backgrounds as well. A single orange figure on a full sized white cover doesn't feel like East of West to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reasonable points :thumbsup: We'll see what happens - either way, I'm rarely in love with this books covers, but hopefully it is just a placeholder.

Nexus Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Regarding an exclusive cover for SDCC, I'm pretty sure there won't be one. I'll ask Nick about this cover this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
