  • @XxHEAVYGAMERxX

    Honestly to me what makes a good manga cover is an image that sticks with you for a long time. Comic books back in the 90s were THE best at making covers. 1st example would be the comic Crisis on Infinite earths.

    What makes a good cover for me is the art style and it’s perspective foreshortening. For e.g kishimoto. His art style looks aesthetically pleasing same time simplistic and yet satisfying

    I think Hirohiko Araki briefly noted what makes the art cover appealing in his book Manga In Theory and Practice.
    Anyway, I love Steel Ball Run manga Volume covers. They all have great visual energy due to incredible color combination added on top of pretty art Araki developed.

    Great topic! One of the most important parts of a book is a great cover. It is the very first thing that a person sees before opening the book. A good cover makes the book stand out amongst a sea of other books. I notice sometimes that the cover art is done by an entirely different artist other than the one who does the illustrations for the book.

    I don't want to read stuff that has that kind of agenda in mind.
    That's why I read Jump. They are all about the story\artwork. If the stuff on there is good, that will be enough for it to stand out from the rest. Not this "Hey we have a black LGBT character!"
