Explain to me how getting a more interesting or just plain better artist to do just the cover of a comic book is not straight out false advertising?
I agree OP its bullshit. Simple as that.
Don't judge a book by its cover.
Bullshit
That's an ok rule when the book and its covers don't actually leverage the same artistic medium.
Illustrations aren't sequentials.
The title of a novel isn't prose either, but it's writing and representative of the work.
If comics are writing and visual storytelling combined, it's a missed opportunity to not represent both. Picking a different artist is, at best, like a novelist asking another writer to choose a title. At worst, it's like printing a different author's name altogether.
*unless they're white people
That's literally the point of covers though.
Not at all. The point of the cover is to stick out on a shelf and promote a purchase.
>the point of covers is to look good and attract attention
>that's not 'judging a book by it's cover'
Are you moronic? If the cover looks good you pick up the book, that's the point. It doesn't need to represent the interior art, it's to get your attention.
My casual friend actually got tricked by a Squirrel Girl trade with a Gurihiru cover. Poor sap.
Today's comics and cartoons need to fool people to like them. Or buy them at least, not a lot of liking
Brutal
Shoot up troon, have a nice day
I love that there were people in Japan who got got by that
But what if they went on to not buy Gwenpool fearing that they'd be tricked again?
Scott Kurtz is a massive mountain of fat.
I don't believe that he cleans underneath all his folds of fat. Most likely smells horrid to be near him in person.
I feel like 90% of Brian Bolland covers are like that. Like, there's a whole period in the early 90's where he's the regular cover artist on Wonder Woman and and all these covers look amazing but the book itself looks very different.
Not sure when it started becoming the norm or which of the Big 2 did it first for capes, but I think it was the Vertigo books what really hinged on cool cover artists. Plenty readers started getting The Sandman or Fables because the covers were interesting despite the generic or downright bad art in earlier issues of either.
>Not sure when it started becoming the norm
The 40s.
What a knockoff Byrne She-Hulk cover.
>"Oh hey, PvP. Wonder how that's going."
>Hasn't updated since August.
>Archives locked behind patreon paywall.
Imagine if this was the cover on a one piece volume, and then you opened it up. Imagine the outrage
Does this homie really think that that dr stone homie is better than prime Oda?
Oda is terrible.
That is not the Dr. Stone guy, it's the One Punch-Man guy.
Didn’t Cho and Kurtz have a falling out because Cho “disrespected his wife” or something? I can’t remember the story but I know something happened.
>Conner + Palmiotti will never do a Giganta mini-series/special
Dammit
Because you can open it and nowhere does it say it’ll be the same art inside. This is like asking why fast food companies can take pictures of food that doesn’t resemble the garbage they serve.
So it makes sense if you are a conditioned consoomer capable of personally uttering the most popular dumb analogy in every media corporation's board room. Got it.
