Why would they use that image on the back...
Also the spine looks awful
Hear, hear. That mockup that @JCC did was nice. That back image should have been a no brainer. After all it is their image that they made! Why not use it?Thats more like it. I get people like original art as opposed to poster art but the poster art is ALWAYS wayyyyy better in most instances. The Zavvi art isnt bad but its kinda bland. This hand drawn "art" is getting real boring with these steelbooks.

And I am super tired of these chicken scratch drawings. We have Mondo to thank for that.
(Some Mondo is good. Jock, for instance. But it is getting to be overkill).
This looks like the cover to a "motion comic" movie version, and not the series!

Dude, steelbooks are meant to be "special" and consequently what on earth is the point of regurgitating poster artwork on to their covers more than likely already regurgitated on to the Amarays . . .Personally speaking totally in favour of "proper" artwork for steelbooks created by renowned artists - something which make them just that bit more interesting and collectible (to me anyway) and if I'm paying up to 30 quid for a metal box I'd rather it had different artwork on it than that seen on the plastic cased edition.
Furthermore, as we know by now and can see as plainly as the noses on our faces the front artwork has already been chosen !!!!
Not wishing to state the obvious but absolutely NO earthly POINT in using a different image for the front when one has already been chosen.
The point now is to see what we are getting for the back and for the insides - hopefully the powers-that-be choose something to match the front - even if just the colouring - and I guess we'll know soon enough. . .
Regarding the spine: with Disney/Marvel you can't bet your bottom dollar that there will be a title there even though there is one on the mock-up and I personally have no objection to a picture spine as long as it isn't just one tiny thumbnail in the style of THE LONE RANGER.

I agree with this more and more with recent releases. I am so sick of the 'poster design' being the artwork, I mean if you want that it will probably be on the DVD and amaray bluray, it's really refreshing and nice to get something different and something really artistic. I hope the front doesn't change on this as its lovely. I have particularly gone for ones where this effort has been made. I loved the divinci/angels and Demons artwork it was lovely. I also really like the new ghostbusters artwork wish I didn't have the others
Not if it's worse than the poster art in question. No point making new art just for the sake of it.
If it's cr*p then what's the point
Luckily the front art for this is ok
Should be RF like most other Disney / Marvel releases.region free?
Love the artwork on those 2 too but waiting for pricing similar to the current SHERLOCK seasons.I also really like the new ghostbusters artwork
I like the art on this but the finish will make or break it. If it's the same all matte finish like Agent Carter it'll be a disappointment regardless of the art.
