But damn look at the embossing ...
All 3 (so far) v. good . . . nothing substandard about any of them . . . a massive plus each one being sufficiently different from the others with at least one of them appealing to the steelbook buyer looking for just the one version as well as to the buyer who buys all 10 (or however many) versions are released:-
Variety is the very spice of life that gives it all its flavour" 1785 (W. Cowper 1731 - 1800)
As for the Meinerding art on the International steelbook: the funniest thing is if this was receiving a full gloss WET from Blufans with framed embossed Spidey and yet still with no front title I'm betting 8 out of 10 cats would prefer it to the FA.
As for the artist with his signature on the steelbook, he is the . . .

Awesome steelbook and awesome bossing: this is the winner, completely destroys other Homecoming steelbooks
For me personally, yes the art on the WWA is well painted, but I still don't like it. I'm not keen on the lack of title on a movie cover, the pose Spider-Man has been put in looks a bit weird, and I'm not a big fan of all the webbing all over the place. There's no denying his talent but like all art, you either like it or don't.
The Film Arena art is the one I'm going for but my favourite art was the one that HMV had as a placeholder.

The WWA art is crap IMO and this steelbook art blows it out of the water with ease.
Looking forward to the beauty shots so I can decide which edition I'm gonna go for

I'm not denying that the WWA steel is very well drawn, but I simply don't like art that is created by hand on my steelbooks. It's supposed to be about the film - not the comic book. The FA version is more like the traditional poster type design that I will always prefer no matter how much hand drawn, pop-art, mondo, painted stuff they keep trying to force on us.
The FAC version is obviously the nicest so far (as a matter of opinion of course) but it screams quality over the other WWA designs.
However, the other designs are nice little collectibles to go with the collection and if all are displayed all together it would look pretty cool I think.
Having a selection is always a good thing, and you certainly don't want the same sort of thing from different retailers.
I do think that somewhere down the line another Spidey will be presented to blow the FAC version out of the water. Who will release it? We don't yet know
but the moment that opportunity arises it will be a big deal I think, and it will be one of these unexpected releases further down the line.
A Blufans WEA would probably nail it... but they aren't doing one at present are they?

Sony is another notorious Studio when it comes to re-releasing the same Steelbook of the same films. I wouldn't be surprised if they release this Steelbook next year.
Yes, creativity and innovation have no place on steelbooks . . .
In fact, let's organise a petition to ban choice, to ban "creative" and have all steelbooks with poster art on the front . . . and . . . that's . . . all.
Let's put Mondo out of business and stop these cheeky artists http://arrowvideodeck.blogspot.co.uk/2014/09/meet-artists.html - and others equally well-known - defacing our precious Amarays and steelbooks.

You the same wth old school movie posters like Indiana Jones, Star Wars, big trouble In little China, goonies, Struzan art etc etc etc?
Because most his work is better than any standard style movie poster
I joined the GB for the E5B, but will also get the BestBuy one, as I like the movie and like both steels
