Should we keep the Fantastic 4 cover art?

Dragon_Nexus

We usually have this discussion when covers get replaced, but I haven't seen one here. If there's one I missed I apologise.

What do you guys think? Should we keep the Artgerm covers for all of the Fantastic 4?

I personally think we should. First time Invisible Woman's had a cover I actually like; Mr Fantastic is a nice improvement (even if the game version doesn't rock the beard); Thing...it's as good as the old one, I'm indifferent there; and Human Torch is a huge improvement, never liked that weird sneer expression on a flaming skinless psychopath in the old cover.

Looking forward to seeing opinions.

[EDIT] silly me, I forgot Silver Surfergot a new cover too. They're both good, so either one of those works for me

Taganov

Yes.

They're quite good; I'd be down to keep the new ones.

Dogface

Yes.

The overall aesthetic is better now. While some might be nicer than others, for the sake of unity I'd keep them all in their 'new' costume.
Having said that, I find it weird that 3 of them are 4* while HT is a 3*. They are called the Fantastic Four, right? Not the Fantastic Three + One 

KenshinUK

Maybe. (Keep some, not others. Comment below =D )

If we can keep only one let it be Sue's as its far better than what we had before. The others i'm not too fussed about either way.

jackstar0

Yes.

I'm good with them, but I would like to see an Allred Surfer cover...

TPF Alexis

Yes.

Yes! They're so much better than the regular ones.

Well, Johnny is the youngest Seriously, tho, there should be a 4* Human Torch. At one point, I was thinking about trying to figure out a way to combine Reed and Sue into a single character, like Grocket or C&D, so it would actually be possible to run all four of them at once.

Also, this poll is impossible to properly run with the restrictions the forum rules place on them. Really, the options should be "Yes", "Of Course", and "Absolutely"

There's a comic series on right now called Infinity Warps where the evil villain Requiem has gained the power of the infinity stones and rather than kill half of all life in the universe, they've melded half of life with the other half. So we have the Soldier Supreme and Iron Hammer and Ghost Panther and Arachknight.

One of the mash ups is the Fantastic Four, now the Teriffic Two. Reed Richards and Sue Storm are melded together to become Mr Invisible, along with Human Torch and Thing to become Hot Rocks. So if MPQ starts incorporating these characters you might get your wish!

jamesh

Yes.

I liked the old Invisible Woman cover art.  The others seem like an improvement, and there's something to be said for the consistency.

Human Torch is a massive improvement.

I’m in the minority but I don’t care for Reed.

Thing and IW are probably on par with/slightly better.

Silver Surfer is my favourite change, definitely keep that.

I was disappointed we didn’t get a change for Doom as I have never been a fan of his cover.

Hmm, that sounds very similar to the amalgam Universe they did in the 90's when they did the DC vs Marvel limited series. I'm guessing Marvel probably can't use them these days otherwise a Dark Claw costume (and others) might be fun:

bluewolf

Yes.

I was going to say they can only use variants for a while, but in the past they replaced some (Devil Dinosaur and Kamala, maybe?).

I’d be down for some new covers for the FF.  They certainly stand out nicely.

GrimSkald

I'm one of the few, apparently, who really like the previous iteration of the Invisible Woman cover.  I thought the composition of it, with the three scenes shot through it, was really cool.  To be fair, however, I'm a fan of Coleen Doran's work.

Keep the Old:
Torch (His old is actually one of my favorite covers in MPQ)
Reed

Keep the New:
Surfer
Inv Woman

Indifferent:
Thing

Needs New:
3Doom
2Torch

bluewolf

Yes.

I also prefer the old Invisible Woman cover, to be honest.  Mr. Fantastic and Thing are probably my two favorites of this group.

Dragon_Nexus

Yes.

I've got the perfect suggestion for 3* Doom's cover change

Tony_Foot

Yes.

They could at least give us the option to buy them in a £79.99 vault.

broll

Yes.

Are they temporary?  i was assuming it was a permanent change.

Maybe. (Keep some, not others. Comment below =D )

Surely it would be £44.44

Yes.

Her old cover is pretty cool. Honestly, I mostly just prefer the new one because I like the "cooler" colour palette, without the "warmer" red and yellow.

Her character art is what really needs an update. Her anatomy is more distorted than Reed's is in his character art.

I'd like to see a 4* Human torch using the new art first and then change the rest of the team to have them match.

I would be fine if they actually just upped the numbers on 3* Torch so that he basically became a 4* rather than go through any new character release. It isn't like 3* Torch is a vital part of that tier but promoting him to the 4* tier means we have the FF all on one level.
