What a week it's been for cover art. First we get Devil May Care, now we have the U.S. hardcover Double or Die.
First Look: Double or Die U.S. cover art You know, from the moment Charlie first told us YB3 would "be set in the darkest corners of London," this was the cover I saw in my head. I never loved the red/skull UK image. Grey...noir feel...this is the cover the book deserves. And look, there's the Apache weapon!

I love this cover. Kev Walker is definitely the right guy for this series.

This cover is sweet. I love the artwork by Kev Walker.
I can't wait to see SilverFin and the rest of the books drawn by him.  |

I'd like to see them reissue a US SilverFin with a Kev Walker cover so they all match. I'm excited to see what he'll do with HG. |

I love Kev Walker's artwork - especially these covers. I saw the US Blood Fever when I was in LA but didn't get a real good look at it. Is it 3D rendered or just sort of painted?
Looks amazing, either way.  |

Is it 3D rendered or just sort of painted? That's a good question. I don't know. But the DoD cover seems to have the same 3D effect. |

Do I dare say, of the 2 pieces of Bond cover art revealed this week, this is the better.

This is an awesome cover regardless (though I think they could do something better with that title banner), so I don't think what you said is blasphemy. I certainly think this one took my breath away more than the Devil May Care cover, which is great, but not something really special, which is what I was hoping for. |

Two different styles and I much prefer DMC's over this for Bond novels. Both are great though. I don't think this is 3D rendered. I would say it's been touched up though. It certainly has a great deal of depth and, in the background (environment), photorealism. I'm no expert though.  |

I love the cover. It's very moody and suspenseful--and as zencat mentioned, it contains the Apache! So that is very welcoming touch.
Of the two recently released covers (Devil May Care and Double Or Die), I much prefer the Double Or Die one. Can't wait to read it (or Devil May Care for that matter) although I still wish DOD had been called Shoot The Moon. No more foreplay.
Speak now or forever hold your piece. I think he got the point. Looks like he came to a dead end. He had lots of guts! Yes, considerably. |
