For some reason, it always seem to look like this on Newsarama, in particular.

I've made changes to the blog in the past. And you're wrong about converting CMYK to RGB. It's not that big of a change. I do it all the time.

That looks nothing like the hulk. <br /><br />The G.I. JOE cover really shows no storytelling skills...just a reference to a pose. The art isnt bad, but if you are going to do a cover, tell a story, and not such a boring one please. The shadow of th bad guy would have been a better fit for that cover...or something that says "yearbook" photo . <br /><br />The girl with the books...who is she to tell dracula to keep it down? We all know frankenstien in 80's suit doesnt say much..so thats not a problem. for me, the amount of space the signature is taking up is proof the artist was not breast fed as a child. and one last note...name on nameplate please. At least its telling a story...<br /><br />The girl with the skull pile cover ...I just like the fact that I got to say scull pile somewhere today.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4924534165065633927.post-11326126476073377002012-02-04T19:47:27.417-08:002012-02-04T19:47:27.417-08:00In defense of the Action Comics cover, I've no...In defense of the Action Comics cover, I've noticed the covers you pull come from the Diamond site tends to butcher to the colors they get from comic companies. I think it has something to do with converting CMYK to RGB. I had this problem once years ago when I posted comic pages I had colored myself (CMYK)on Facebook (RGB) and they were retina searing. I absolutely LOVE this blog and seeing your critiques makes my week, but I wish you'd post better (more faithful) versions of the covers.Billy Pennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14472951649800461547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4924534165065633927.post-15300858363588770462012-02-04T19:46:41.859-08:002012-02-04T19:46:41.859-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Billy Pennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14472951649800461547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4924534165065633927.post-32740128414325591652012-02-04T19:33:17.833-08:002012-02-04T19:33:17.833-08:00Sometimes, even JSC cannot pull off his version of...Sometimes, even JSC cannot pull off his version of the female anatomy, but when it works, it is something to see.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15896853636391031482noreply@blogger.com
