In today’s installment of New Covers For Old 2021, lotta blind squirrels finding occasional acorns.
Scarlett—Nope
Immortal War—Certainly an improvement but, as all too often, a decent image shot in the foot by awful typography.
Bela’s Curse—Nope
Hellfield—The image is certainly better…but again, that typography…
Lexa—Nope.
Witch—At least headed in the right direction, but too static, too murky and whatever is written on the shield might as well not be there.
The Ex Who Glowed—Hmmm….very decent art for sure, but the Ex is not glowing: What was probably a glow originally has been reduced to a grey blur, along with the desaturated figure. The gloves dominate the cover but have no significance to me at all. Finally, at least one too many typefaces.
The Ex Who Conned—Again, very nice artwork (even if the glowing figure is still grey) and again, terrible typography.
Stony Creek—Nope
Death Drop—Maybe this just might have been headed in the right direction…but has been terribly overthought. That cartouche at the top is A. superfluous, B. has unreadable text and C.contains an image that is redundant.
