Daredevil - Season 1 (Blu-ray SteelBook) (Zavvi Exclusive) [UK]
- Thread starter Megatron1986
- Start date
Main problem with AGENT CARTER (IMO) was that it was too damn dark.
Better is better. I know the art is already final. But @JCC 's version would have been better.
I would have put the cartoon on the amaray and put the double DD's made from the cityscape on the Steelbook.
Vice versa for me.
Don't see how anyone can take exception to comic book art for this steelbook when "Daredevil" started life in that format (as we all know full well).
But it is a TV SHOW. Not a COMIC. If it was a like the Watchmen "Motion Comic" DVD, then sure.Vice versa for me.

But, agree to disagree. (Moot anyway
).

A lot of things start in that "format" but it don't mean every comic book film superhero or not has to have comic book art!
Reminded of those COMIC BOOK STYLE Reel Heroes steelbooks - steelbooks that in the main have absolutely nothing to do with comics - which I nevertheless bought as Amarays (those that were available in the U.K.) - but would never have bought as steelbooks:-
V. nice . . . with a touch of comic book style:-

Not so v. nice (imo):-
In the case of DD a big thumbs up for the chosen front cover art in the same way as for others (just my personal opinion of course):-

@ all those designs. Give me some art with an actual human on it for my steelbooks
Each on to their own. Artwork is always subjective, some people will like, some people will not. When there is a majority that dislike and they voice this I believe the community has some sway especially with the Asian retails e.g. Mad Max steelbook which we got changed from this forum.
With Zavvi I don't think it would be possible to change the artwork, why? Well if they can't even read and comprehend a customer service message how could they understand what the community wants, for example it took me 2 weeks of messages for them to understand that I wanted to return a damaged steelbook for a new one? I doubt very much that anyone at Zavvi pays much attention to collectors simply because from a business perspective it is a waste of time and consequently money, as they know full well that regardless they will sell these steelbooks. If they had a dedicated person who frequents the communities looking for business oppotunities then it would save them money and give them more profit, but I don't think they think out of the box for business growth, and they wont until they start loosing money and for that to happen people (the community) needs to be heard.

I think there were a few Zavvi steelbooks we got the artwork to change. Back art for Wreck it Ralph was one if recall correctly. Its rare, but not impossible. But I dont expect a change on this one and I honestly dont think this art is too bad all things considered. Just I feel all posters and art promoted for this series was great and would look great on steel. If its gloss w/ bossing it will be nice. Different strokes for different folks though, but I feel i need to put my 2 cents in to do what I can to sway the trend away from hand drawn/pop art steelbooks lol.
@virkia loving your mock up design and enthusiasm for what is for me an excellent series.
One thing that might help is when posting if you have quite a few photos to share I tend to use the spoiler tag that way it doesn't take up a lot of space on the thread, just a friendly suggestion

I honestly don't think they have the slightest interest in our opinion. I myself have tried on several occasions to get in touch with whoever is in charge of decision making to try and advise them or at least get them to visit this forum once in a while to get a feel for the very community they are trying to do business with. I couldn't even get a name, let alone get them to get of their arse and research their customer base. Frustrated isn't the word...
I think the problem this time is that they made it sound like this release would be something a bit special - so to announce another pop art steel / Z-box combo is a massive anti-climax.
This one is THE original poster. Shown before any footage or photos etc.
& most of you don't realise that the netflix shows are pretty much his baby, that's what he spends most his working days focusing on...He's legimetly the main reason the show is soo good and faithful to daredevil. the first vigilante costume used in the series was designed by Joe quesada, he gave them sketches of the kind of "costume" he'd envisage him wearing in his early days and they copied it exactly...so his artwork is more than fitting.
surprised no one's said anything, it's not the only promo or poster or advertisement done by him for the show. in the build up to the show, they released an image on virtually a daily basis. here's another one.
As for JCC's "design" It's not that i don't like, but it is the perfect example of what is wrong with current steelbook design trends. It genuinely makes me laugh when i read comments on these kinds of steelbooks that stray from the norm, you virtually always get some people call the attempt at something a little different "lazy". funnily enough it's the type of "design" JCC's "created" that are lazy. it breaks what i think should be the number one rule of steelbook design "i will not take images from the first page of a google image search"
Steelbooks should be special & unique. I used to be on here ALL THE TIME but in the last two years I've bought less than 10 steelbooks. They've become generic over priced rehashes of things we've seen a million times...or incredibly poorly thought out designs. (civil war as a new example) yes everyone has different opinions, but i think alot would agree on that. It's something this site has unwillingly created.
So I'm happy when they try something a little different, admittedly it doesn't always pay off & you'll never satisfy everyone. but as long as the back art is well chosen I'll be satisfied & I'll actually buy this...eventually (still think the price is stupid for a show i can access for 6 or so £s)
