Description These are the rough cover concepts I drew for the final chapter of our manga series: TOMO.

I liked #2 the best (its a throwback/homage to the great Marvel "stand off" style covers that I've always wanted to do), but the publisher picked #1. Course, they were right because both #2 and #3 never actually happen in the book. (Not to give too much away for the two people out there reading the series!)

Man I loved those covers. There was always an epic clash, usually between two heroes on the cover, and in the actual pages the most that might happen between them would be a verbal confrontation or something, then they'd team up or go on some adventure. Total bait-and-switch. Still good tho.

BAH! Pish-posh... there have been plenty of covers that mislead readers. Plus, my favorite is 2 as well... seems to have more excitement to me.

Even the rough covers look nice and clean. Nice behind-the-scenes look.
