If/when we see the other covers, we need another one, too.

I hated the pull box until I saw it as a larger version.

It's closer now, but the first one is amazing.

Is that from EVE? :P

I noticed in another thread, that the thumbnail from the Xo#1 Ad for the nord cover is different from the bigger picture, like it was a stage before the thumbnail, as aspects of the picture seem to me to be unfinished. I prefer that cover, and would vote that one as #1 tbh.

:clap:

The space one, the other is a touch 90s ugggg. Not awful but a little off (eg. I know his fist is meant to be closer but how long must his arm be?!)

I'm partial to the regular cover. I like the variant too, but I'm not real happy with the background coloring choices. The drawing itself has a great pose for X-O though.

Hahaha....it's not that bad. The X-O statue would be more fitting of that description.....

I voted for the regular cover, but to put it into perspective, I really don't like it either. I just dislike it less than the variant. Those background colors just aren't working for me.

To be honest, I'm not too thrilled with either one. I'm glad the book is back, but I would have liked a more dynamic cover. One is too bright colored and has no background, the other has a lot of background, but too dark and no colors at all.

I really like the regular version cover ... the variant just doesn't do it for me. The thumbnail of the newer version of this is better IMHO though.
