Procrastimancer Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 I just hope Ellis doesn't fuck up the ending (Planetary), get lazy with the plot details that explain why things happen (Gravel), or just lose himself in his need for shock value even when writing some nicely worded sentences (Transmetropolitan).*shrug*I vastly prefer his non-comics work. Give me Crooked Little Vein, Shivering Sands, and Do Anything over his comics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sci-2 Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Oh don't get me wrong, Ellis can do really good work, just seems to fall a little short a lot of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob B Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Wow, that Tregillis cover is SOO generic and so un-genre. :ack: It looks like it could be a Mack Bolan cover, maybe that's Tor's aim with it? :shocked: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calibandar Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Yes it is terrible, but I did not like the cover for Coldest War either.It seems like they switched style again mid-series, because the first one was quite nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob B Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 From Tor:The Shattered Pillars by Elizabeth Bear.Quintessence by David Walton.Great covers, but that Bear cover is beyond great.Without a Summer by Mary Robinette Kowal.I haven't been a fan of the covers for these books, and this one doesn't tell me much about the book other than Bronte-fantasy, or in other words avoid. Of course, what's between the cover is likely great as MRK has received a great deal of praise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arthmail Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Even this one?The Shattered Pillarsby Elizabeth Bear. It certainly does not do anything for me. Not as egrigious as some others, like all of Jordan's books, but nothing great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
