jrob29 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 How about at least putting the Phantom logo in a color (orange) to match the cover? As it is, it just looks like . It couldn't be less visually appealing, and you can barely read it. So...not only does it not work aesthetically, but it also pretty much fails at advertising the brand. Orange phantom with blue lettering would at least look like it belongs on the cover. Pretty stellar idea, I think the color change plus Solar's idea of shifting it to the left side would make a world of difference. Regardless though, the cover art itself is fairly amazing.

cujobyte Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Well, you can't say that I'm not supporting this book. Getting this made my day at the shop. I'll take the protective shipping off it from home later this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krighton Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 i'm about 1.5 weeks from getting my OA, but i'm getting a free head sketch for the delay...so that's cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cujobyte Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Krighton, please show your page/pages when they arrive!!! Yeah, I really wanted this cover because it's actually painted, unlike the majority of newer covers coming out today. Chris mentioned the rest of the covers (i believe) will be in b/w. Thanks Jazz.

John91C Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Frank, Awesome series! I met you at ECCC and I just wanted to verify you said the print run was 14K for #1...does that include all the variants or just the regular cover? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank J. Barbiere Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Also--Chris is holding off on original art for a bit. Sorry all! He will have a bunch at C2E2, however, where we will both be appearing (at the same booth). I'll keep you all updated! Thanks so much for the positivity and interest. I'll be sure to put some art from issue #2 up soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
