    Thumbup AWESOME Cover!

    I just have to say it: Storn, you've outdone yourself. The cover for Dark Champions is incredible. Awesome work. The subdued colors, the clean lines, the dramatic pose... it's just great. There is enough detail in the central character to invite further study (just what are all those things hanging from his belt, for instance), and yet the composition is clean and striking. Perhaps one of the best pieces we've ever seen from Hero Games. Wonderful!

    Re: AWESOME Cover!

    Storn, I will definitely have to second Mr. Heine's sentiments regarding this cover. It's absolutely incredible. I'm not much of a Dark Champions fan, but since this version will contain all kinds of crunchy, modern, street-level goodness, I've been seriously contemplating its purchase. (For agents and spies and such). I do believe that your cover has sold at least one copy.

    (I'm sure Steve will be pleased to hear this.)

    I'm pleased to hear of any and all sales, as long as they're not funded by the proceeds of crime.

    I think I'm OK then, unless you consider sneaking a charge onto the VISA card a crime.

    Crime, what crime?

    I thought you knew we were all pure as wind driven snow



    Very nice cover though I've been waiting for the new DC for a while and I do not think I will be disappointed.

    Storn was excited for this one and now I can see why. Good Job Storn!

    Well I can certainly agree with all of the above... GREAT cover.
    But... who is he? I think it may be the Harbinger of Justice, just because of the subtly placed cresent moon in the night sky.

    Yup, that's Harbinger. One of the perks of buying the art is you can dictate who's in it. If you look closely when you get the full cover illo, you'll see the blue crescent moon on his mask, too. It's probably a little hard to see online.

    A few magnifications bought it out, though with the night gogles(?) it's a little hard to make out.

    I agree! This cover kicks ass and takes names! It really captures the feel that *I* think Dark Champions should have. Having seen the book itself - Steve's outdone himself. Really.

    Nice work Storn, more "superheroey" than I was hoping for, since I was really rooting for some Navy Seals, Mad Max and a Bond clone. But it is a nice piece of work.
