When I first saw these covers I was not real sure of the artwork......once I read the dialogue.....it fit....the artwork fit the dialogue.....very cool....
I too loved FF:1234. I thought that the artwork by Jae Lee is stunning - very dark, gritty, and fitting to Morrison's vision.
One of my favorite covers in recent years is probably the one for the last issue of the Mark Waid run, with the image of the Four stacking their hands. I'd thought that it might make a nice image onscreen in a FF movie.
