The obligatory Alex Ross cover?Think OUTSIDE the Box! For the BEST in Repro & Custom Packaging! -
And design of course.
With nod
I'm finding John Cassaday's cover disappointing. His s usually the one that pops from the rest.

That's not a nod to the serial, its a flat out copy of the design.
Love Francesco Francavilla's art, be great to see him on Batman regularly. His Black Beetle is coming to Dark Horse soon.You must try to generate happiness within yourself. If you aren't happy in one place, chances are you won't be happy anyplace. -Ernie BanksComment

That's actually a cool design. I don't blame them from swiping it from the serial.

Seeing Alex Ross having such a prominent role at Dynamite makes me wish that DC had taken him up on his redesigns for the DCU as seen in his "Rough Justice" sketchbook. I betcha the titles wouldn't have had to have gone under the DCnU relaunch if they had...His ideas for "Shazam!" alone we're better than anything that DC has cobbled together for the characters in recent memory...Think OUTSIDE the Box!

Contrast Moonstone's recent Spider.

DC was nuts to let Ross walk away. Leftover 90s Marvel and Image guys are apparently more appealing to DiDio.Seeing Alex Ross having such a prominent role at Dynamite makes me wish that DC had taken him up on his redesigns for the DCU as seen in his "Rough Justice" sketchbook.

I think ANY comics publisher who would let Alex Ross walk away or turn him down would be foolish, but what do I know; I'm just a schmuck in southern Indiana! Heck, I still would LOVE to see Ross's Spider-Man movie costume design on the big screen. To this day, it's still as cool as hell!!sigpic Oh then, what's this? Big flashy lighty thing, that's what brought me here! Big flashy lighty things have got me written all over them. Not actually. But give me time. And a crayon.Comment

don't sell yourself short, I think you are totally right. Marvel and Dc have both let him walk twice each at least and turned down some really awesome proposals.
It's The Kingdom that I think was really missing Ross' touch... I know Waid had creative differences with Ross, but just seeing the proposal art on that is pretty tragic when you think about what could have been.Comment

I don't think anyone's character designs were going to save Hawk and Dove from Liefeld or cancellation.
Ross's designs would have been a better choice then Jim Lee for DC.
I don't know any of these Dynamite characters I've seen lately so it feels like a waste of Alex Ross to me.Comment

DC should have thrown a ton of money at Ross and made him creative director...he is faithful to the characters but has great ideas and designs that are modern yet with a nod to the past...much better than what they get for their dollar with Jim Lee IMO...Think OUTSIDE the Box!

They were giving him a bunch of design work for a while there... I think his Batwoman has a really classic look to it.
And most of his JSA designs really worked as well.

^ He's definintely got the chops...Notice that his designs don't have any of the piping or seams showing that are so prevelant in the DCnU costume designs...Think OUTSIDE the Box! For the BEST in Repro & Custom Packaging!Comment
