Reminds me of Heavy Metal. I ain’t mad at it. I’m in the “just the music” camp.

What worries me is the three years it’ll take to restore the website, just to list only Lionheart multiple times.

Another cover to add to the pile.

Love this! This is the one I will use.

What the devil is wrong with either the mutants peering over a score sheet or Taarna artworks for 1981's HEAVY METAL?

Honest ? JJ

Yeah, you can't go wrong with Achilleos or Wrightson (and Corben)!

We’ve all missed the obvious. They fired the graphic designer and used AI!

Pretty sure AI makes better art than this.

I don’t remember the music, but it’s a great pulp science fiction film that I haven’t watched in years, I’ll have to dig out the Blu-ray, I might watch it this evening, & keep an ear out for the music.

The cover is a bit odd, but it's also very much in line with boutique vinyl releases these days, like Mondo, completely rethinking the graphic design and often in an 'animated' style. Yes, I know it's a CD and not an LP and yes, I know it's probably because there were some rights issues involved rather than visionary thinking, but it isn't that bad in and of itself, is it? I kinda like it.

Pretty sure an artist would make sure that each person in the picture would have no more than five fingers on each hand.

"Newman Street" turned out to be a cul-de-sac for anyone hoping for something from Alfred.

I don’t remember the music, but it’s a great pulp science fiction film that I haven’t watched in years.

The original TV series "Firefly" was fantastic, but the storytelling was designed for a long haul, and when it got cancelled after 13 episodes it had only managed to lay out some foundation for a much bigger story. Serenity tries to squeeze an abbreviated version of what was intended into 2 hours, which made it less involving. It's like the cliff notes version of 2 seasons of television. The style and wit is still there, though.

The cover is cute, I don't mind it. But it's meant I think for fans who are already familiar with the characters and who like different interpretations of them. For everyone else it's a little odd.

Not sure why no one can see what they are doing...they are going the Mondo route of using an artists interpretation as a cover. This is what Mondo has been doing for YEARS with their vinyl releases. Varese did it with their latest Matrix, Crow, the Marco Beltrami one I can't think of the name of, and a few other releases as well. The one for Serenity is just the most jarring of them because it is by far the most "cartoony" one so far...but either way...they are following Mondo's lead.

Indeed, Jedi, that's what I pointed out a few posts up. It's pretty much in line with Mondo and other specialty vinyl labels.

Yes you did! My apologies, I completely missed your post when skimming through this thread.

I get it but it still sucks. Lets use sh*tty artwork because its modern and edgy. Doesn't work for me.

Ok as much as I am disapointed big time for the two unsepectecular and boring releases...I seem to be the only one who actually appreciates the cover !I think its pretty good and cudos to the varese team at least for the cover.Other than that..the releases suck!

Kudos to everyone who submitted custom covers. They are all infinitely better. Yours for me is the winner. Crisp and beautifully balanced.

Big fan of the show. Very familiar with the characters. I even like bold interpretations of things, but this, to me, is a huge misstep.

That cover is pretty appalling. I'll be using one of the replacements here. On the subject of adult coloring books, they aren't a new thing. My dad had a copy of this when I was a kid (it came out in 1961, I came out a few years later):
