We were commenting on the covers of Booster Gold #32 and the variant cover of Justice League: Generation Lost #1 both by the great Kevin Maguire. Todd more so than I, and myself are both huge fans of Maguire's art. Todd even has may sketches and commissions from Kevin, which you can see on Todd's Facebook.
Anywho, we were commenting about the coloring of these covers, using these fancy computers. Some people it works for, however, we both felt it took something away from Maguire's art.
Here is an example that really bugged me from a few weeks ago, Green Lantern #53:
Look how cool this cover is! The first post Blackest Night issue of Green Lantern, showing all the main Lanterns for each color. The white background with the lush colors of each character really make the cover pop! However, when the issue hit stands, there were a few changes:
What happened? My main issue with the new cover is the change of the background from white to dark grey with the extra lightning. It's not a bad cover, but the changes to the way it's colored really irks me.
What do you think? Do you like the original version or the recolored one?
