Berserk volume 1 - TexWolf_1729 http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/berserk/images/b/b1/Volume_1.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20131003082804 Originality: 2.5 Aesthetic: 3.5 Story: 2.25 Personal: 4 Average: 3.06 This cover suffers from being highly generic, looking like so many other covers with a badass hero in a badass position with plenty of badass weapons. Basically, this cover really wants you to know this guy is a badass and there's not much more to it than that. It's all empty calories with no substance. And it would be easier to get away with that if the artwork was at least more impressive, but it looks kind of incomplete and rushed, particularly the attempt to create a lighting effect on the arms. The only reason the Story score didn't come in even lower is there's the slightest hint of something more interesting in the way that cape-like outfit transforms into a dark blue background behind the character, suggesting there's some complexity to the heavily armed tough guy. But I could just be reaching to find something to talk about here. Yawn. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
