Poekaymon Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 It belongs in the early 90s with hologram covers and trading card abominations. Agree? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broke as a Joke Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Uncanny X-Men 300 remains one of the ugliest covers of the foil era. This reminds me of it. MetalPSI and BishopT 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F For Fake Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 I think some of the gimmick covers back in the day are pretty fun (glow in the dark, metallic ink, chromium) but that prismatic foil stuff just seems so cheap, because I vividly remember seeing notebooks, folders, etc covered with the stuff when I was in school.

Qalyar Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 I don't think anyone other than Counterpoint has been doing these "fleck" covers. It would be... nice for this not to become a wider industry trend. Counterpoint, of course, will continue doing whatever gimmicks they can come up with to justify additional 10 comic print runs of new variants of the same half-dozen books. They get work from some great artists, but, well, I don't have a very healthy opinion of them as a publisher I like pie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
