In all things comic books regain supreme?

I know that design is not just limited to poster of movies or promotion of product. Let us look at the some other types of design, like that of comic books. Comic books are one of most oldest types of design out there. The whole comic book world revolves on interesting images and characters. I wanted to mention the new upcoming comic book movie based on the best selling novel "The Watchmen." The movie itself looks quite appealing to the eye. But, for comic book lover we all know this movie can be better. But, unlike other movie poster this one seemed catch my eye. The tradional smiley face caught my eyes. At first I though, oh its an animated movie. Up until I found out who the "The Watchmen." I thought this comic book movie is worth mentioning. The design on these posters is simple but is eye catching. I especially like this one. I like how well the vertical typography fits the whole movie poster. A grid approach was used here as well, very well noted in the borders around the main image.

For those of you who are comic book lovers, dont worry here is an actual novel cover, which is in my opinion typical of comic book covers yet great to look at.
So I think we should take some time to appreciate comic books more often these days. By far one of the most blockbuster movies have been based on comic books. Take for instance Batman Dark Knight movie. This movie was huge blockbuster. The whole concept of a new Batman just gave way for new and old type of movie audience. I just wanted share some movie posters from this blockbuster. I do enjoy low budget movie posters as well I wanted share my hidden admiration for comic book design and movie posters















Oh and heres just a comic book cover I enjoyed too. Those are my thought. Seems like movie and comic book covers have strong resemblence these days. Something in these characters and covers work very well together that it keeps captivating us.
