Nah, think it is a cracking cover. The flames are very eye catching which is sometimes all a new reader needs to be attracted. Dylan Teague may well have gone for a darker pallette of colour but the point of a cover is to catch the eye.
Don't think I've ever heard of Cliff Robinson being described as a 'bad' choice of artist before. Sounds wrong.
I didn't say it was bad, I said, in my opinion, it's too clean and shiney. Jaegir is tonally a dark story as well as the art being dark. Cliff's art is not tonally dark and that is where I feel it doesn't work. It's too clean and bright and shiney and nice, the polar opposite of the content it is depicting. Therfore, for me it's a fail. And dark covers do work, and can attract readers, you only have look at the sucessful Bartman covers of the last 70 years. That is why I said it was a bad editorial choice.
