Talk:The Lost

Greg W. has informed us that this image is nothing more than a concept/mock-up of what the actual cover art will look like. Since it is not at all the final cover art, I think it would be misleading to keep it in the article. -- Vaevictis Asmadi 21:47, 15 October 2007 (CDT)

I'm inclined to agree, especially since we pulled what turned out to be the final finished cover art for issue 5 because it hadn't been approved yet. Putting up a cover mock up which doesn't even have the correct text yet is probably not a good idea. -- Demonskrye 16 October 2007

I disagree. The situation with the cover for #5 was very different than for this cover, and I would rather not get into that. When the final cover is released, we'll replace this with that. -- Greg Bishansky

If we're going to keep the placeholder, how about mentioning in the caption that it is a placeholder, and not the actual cover art. --Moeen 12:20, 16 October 2007 (CDT)

Good idea Moeen. -- Vaevictis Asmadi 15:32, 16 October 2007 (CDT)

I still think we should puul it, just because of what Greg W. said on the Station 8 Comment Room: "This one's WAY unfinished. A mock-up done just for previews. It disturbs me that it's out there, but it's a business reality that if we don't have art for previews, then our sales go down." If Greg would rather it wasn't out there in this state and the only reason it was released is because a more finished cover wasn't ready in time for the Previews solicitation, I don't think that's something that needs to be up on the site. Yes, other people will see it, but I think we could stand to wait for the final cover. But I agree that if we do keep it, there should be a note about it being a placeholder and not the final cover art. -- Demonskrye 16 October 2007
