Well I took some of kernies suggestions or nitpicks :P :P :P

Went a bit nuts on the tag, i'll fix it so it fits a bit better later. Removed the colour/patern of the text. i'll drop a gradient on it if you guys think it'll be better.

It's getting there, but a few things jump out. The Tagline should stick with all caps (IMO) and the still with Spidey leaping, should stay contained, or find a different one-mainly because his hand is clashing with MJ's shirt. I'm still not crazy about the tagline you chose....I'll list a few down below.

With Great Power, Comes Great Responsibility.
Get Ready For The Ultimate Spin!
Go for the ultimate spin
Turn your world upside down
"This is my gift, my curse. Who am I? I'm Spider-man. "

Just some of my suggestions. Cover is turning out great!

thanks filmaddict, I'll test out those suggestions for the tag and i'll try all caps, i've seen a few ppl say they dont like that spidey, but I like it so I'm stickin with it :P

I'm also trying a different type of frame, venome over at worx suggested just a black box low opacity. Will do an update tonight.

how does the tagline look with all caps and justified?

The tagline still isn't working. If All Caps is too much, maybe try Small Caps? The descenders on the lower case letters are too close to touching the text below. I still think the font is too plain and boring, as well...

And I hate to say it, but I liked what you had going with the SF panel before. The transparent black is okay, but I think you still need the strokes surrounding the SF header. Which, by the way, watch your typos... "Feaatures??"

Oh, and I hope you don't get in trouble at work!!!

I'm agreeing with the special features part, wanted to try out what venome suggested but also in this update added a subtle web texture, and corrected the typo lol.

Also tried the Tag in Caps with a different HelveticaNeue font. If any one has an alternative i'll be happy to try one out

I think the Spidey Suit pattern would work better for the SF panel. The web texture is hard to tell what it is (and it makes some distracting red lines as well). You've already established the suit pattern subtly in other places. I think it would be appropriate to use it again on the SF panel.

I hope this doesn't come off as, "Do it my way," but I think the font I used on my preview a while back would work better for the tagline. It's Akzidenz-Grotesk BQ Extended Bold Italic (available here, I think), and while it's still san-serif and plain, it's letterforms are a bit less generic than the one you're currently using.

Why don't you toy around with Gotham Narrow. I did a test with that and it wasn't too shabby. I also did a test with Kernie's suggestion and it looked decent as well! :agree:

Cool for the ideas guys, will check out the font. I'm going to move back to the suit pattern me thinks.
