Or the cover for a tabloid newspaper. The main problem is that it looks like an ad, rather than a cover.

Is that really a problem, though? If someone is looking for Fantastic Four, they're going to find it. If someone isn't looking for Fantastic Four, isn't it the art or the story blurb that's going to get them interested? It might make sense to put those things where people can see them better, instead of the same logo that they saw last month and the month before. It might just get their attention because it looks different from everything else on the stands. “On a typical rack the bottom half of the cover isn’t going to be visible to someone browsing the shelves, which means the larger logo identifying the title of the book won’t be visible.”

The F.F. are many things, but they've never, ever been "hip" in the context Brevoort is suggesting. Mark my words (not that you actually will), this Millar/Hitch F.F. will become just another late book within four months of the first issue. Bryan Hitch simply cannot complete a monthly book...which he's proven time and time again. So all of this pre-publication flutter over trade design and the rest of Millar's smoke and mirror show will all amount to nothing. Happy Friday! LOL!

I don't really care too much, I'm more interested in the interiors. Look at it this way, at least it's an end to the Michael Turner covers!

Give me the original logo or the Seventies curved number, at least they work with super-hero artwork. What's wrong with an unapologetic superhero comic look?

What’s wrong with an unapologetic superhero comic look?

On a typical rack the bottom half of the cover isn't going to be visible to someone browsing the shelves, which means the larger logo identifying the title of the book won't be visible. A browser will only have the smaller logo in the left corner to pick out the book. Maybe not a big deal for someone who's already looking for the book, but it discourages casual browsers.
