First look at actual Harbinger books

Post by tchalla8 »

Here's a first look at all the actual books. My favorite? Gotta be the pullbox cover. That one gives me chills.

I'm *SQUEE* and don't know how to post images here, so sorry you gotta go to a link.

My favorite is still the 1:20, but I like the pullbox a lot too.

Love the Pullbox and the 1:20 equally. Still not crazy about the regular cover, but it is growing on me.

At least all 3 convey to the reader what is inside the book in some way. I hate when a book's cover has no relationship to what is inside.

I know the only major complaint about XO #1 was that Aric didn't appear in the armor--one of the reasons I love the second print wrap-around Visigoth cover :thumb:

No matter how many times I see it, I'm still not a fan of that one.

I like it because it's not afraid to be a comic on the outside. :?

I don't know how I feel about it. Didn't like the close-up, but like the book from afar.

The Aja cover may be the best I have seen so far.

If I win an argument, it doesn't mean I'm right. It means I'm a better arguer.

In addition, I'm right.

So Valiant obviously didn't foresee this but the barcode blocks some of the thought bubbles on the Regular cover. Oops.
