aaah, that's so awesome, how it looks with the title... and I still can't decide which one of the two tries I prefer, I like them both, honestly, but maybe with the title on the bottom it could work better... mmmh...

For this artwork, I think the logos work best on the bottom. For a comic cover, the logos go on the top.

That's why this is a cover "treatment"-- it just shows how our cover design looks.

I think for the eventual cover for Issue #1, we'd want to use an artwork that was lighter on the top two-three inches. However, this makes a PERFECT pin-up for the "Untitled Masterpieces" chapter.

Very interesting cover!! Maybe the black title melts with the dark of the figures... but I like it ^^
I've immediately recognized 'style

I agree about the black text not standing out enough from this artwork. I'd like for the final cover to be lighter, so this works better-- but I wanted to try it with this pin-up.
