The Comic Book Collection by Kernie

QUOTE (Darksaber @ Dec 7 2015, 11:13 AM) Just a thought (and only a suggestion), you know the Teen Titans Go! series (I know it's not a good show but) at the moment you have two volumes per season, to save artwork for future seasons why not combine the two volumes to one season, so Season 1 Vol 1 would just become Season 1 with 4 discs, Season 1 Vol 2 would become Season 2 with 4 discs, Season 2 Vol 1 would eventually become Season 3. Like I said it just a thought if you don't have enough artwork for future volumes 52 episodes per season you'll be struggling for space for the episode lists but you have done it before

I'm following the way the show is being released on DVD/Blu in Region 1, using the artwork from those DVD sets as keyart. However WB chooses to release the show in the future is how I try to design my covers.

WB split season 1 into 2 volumes on DVD, but released all of Season 1 on Blu-ray. Kind of odd, I'll admit, but I try to base my covers off the retail releases as much as possible (although I know I haven't always followed exactly, i.e. Beware the Batman). It's just too hard to predict how custom DVD programmers like yourself might be organizing their sets.

Season 2: Volume 2 is on its way, just have to put the finishing touches on it.

That's great, I just thought it might save you artwork as you never know if or when the artwork might dry up so to speak, like I said it was only a suggestion Oh this wasn't to get you to finish the next cover, far from it, this isn't the greatest show and it could defiantly wait I haven't seen a full episode yet, lol, it's just there for the completeness of my collection

I've had S2:V2 almost done for a while now, just need to get around to finishing it. Will probably be included in my next bulk upload.

We're spending a lot of time worrying over a show that neither of us have even watched!

It will be included in the next bulk upload. Thought the show was absolutely terrible though. Just a cash-grab by AMC to squeeze more ad revenue and ratings out the Walking Dead juggernaut.

Darksaber beat me to it, but yes... only 618 DVD's and 255 Blu-rays at the moment. I've been slacking lately.

Great updates Kernie, the color enhancements really stand out when viewed side by side like that.

Jessica Jones is very cool, love the colors on it, actually liked the show pretty well, kind of hoping they do a second season and don't muss it up...

Those updated covers are on point, I love them. The Jessica Jones covers suit the show to a T. Fear the Walking Dead felt like The Walking Dead (CBS edited version) with TERRIBLE acting from some normally very capable actors. It was boring and pointless, two things a spin-off should be the opposite of. Aside from the point Ant-Man is out on Tuesday and Star Wars is coming quickly so I don't have such a sour taste from wasting time watching FTWD.

Thanks ctaulbee... I liked season 1 of Jessica Jones. I wasn't as engrossed with it as I was Daredevil, but that's probably because it was basically a female drama series vs. a superhero action show. David Tennant was really good and I think it has a lot of potential for future seasons, should Netflix choose to renew it.

I actually turned off FTWD in the middle of episode 3 after I thought to myself, "I am so bored by this, why I am even bothering to watch?" And I never do that... I try to at least get to the end of the episode before giving up on a show.

It's basically The Walking Dead in LA without any of the likeable characters (and I would argue Walking Dead only has a few truly likeable characters). And the story is pointless because we know that they don't stop the spread of the walker "virus" or whatever it is. The only thing that would make the series more interesting would be to give more backstory on how or why the walkers exist, but I'm not even sure that's necessary information at this point.

I also hate the "junkie" character cliche... not because I necessarily dislike drug use but because it's a lazy storytelling excuse for a character to make poor choices. During the pilot, the thought ran through my head, "I don't know if I can stand watching a character who makes dumb decisions simply because he's 'high' or 'needing a fix.'"

But I digress... the point of my little rant is that yes, a cover for Fear the Walking Dead (still a ridiculously dumb title) is coming, despite my severe lack of interest in the show.

That's exactly the reason I didn't watch past the pilot. Not only the drug addict, but, at a minimum, his parents as well. If I remember correctly, the kid told his step-father that he saw a murdered person come back to life and try to eat him while in a condemned church frequented by drug abusers and dealers. So, the step-father visits the building... alone... at night... with nothing but a flashlight?

While I see the allure of having moronic, mean-spirited creeps evolve via challenging times to eventually become interesting (watchable) characters, that's asking for a big leap of faith from the audience.

What doesn't require a leap of faith is Kernie's Comic Book collection -- Nice work on another reliably outstanding set of additions, sir!
