Really wish they wouldn't re-color the artwork for the covers. Pretty much shows off why I hate much of today's coloring

You're right, Ed: everything seems to becoloured as if it were supposed to be a balloon!

Cool news about the trade. I also have to agree about the coloring. It draws my eyes to background elements that really isn't what I am supposed to be focusing on in that picture. Do these new colorists even stop to consider that what they do is supposed to be in service of the art?

I'll admit, I wasn't crazy about that pink background when issue 12 was first released, but it looks like a Renaissance masterpiece in retrospect!

The cover's something of a spoiler, don't you think?

Yeah, that's mighty dumb. Why not use the cover to #25 instead, which could have functioned as a teaser for someone that hasn't read them yet?

That retouch job on the top part of Shaman's head on the TPB cover JB posted bothers me everytime I see it. Did the get the least artisticly-inclined assistant in the offices to to that? The head band is way off!

Well, now that they've got the trades completed, I guess I'll start the long wait for the inevitable Omnibus. That seems to be the order of production on these things, if the Byrne FF, Miller Daredevil, and Simonson Thor collections are anything from which to go on.

I would say the re-colouring on the book 3 cover is better than 2, but the highlights are not in line with where the strongest light source is. And some highlights/hotspots are in shadow areas(!?)
I used to think the pink cover was a little weird too, but side by side it's clearly a much better use of an intentional colour scheme as opposed to just colouring it in "normally".
