Published by PIE comic art, they asked yoji shinkawa (the artist behind metal gear solid) to draw the cover for the japanese release, and it's amazing!

i hesitate to buy it, this looks so good

BlackGoku03 · Jun 9, 2017

Nice. Saw it was the Metal Gear Solid artist immediately.

I wonder how the movie will perform in Japan.

Smooth Operator · Jun 9, 2017

Shinkawa is a god, amazing cover.

Vincent4756 · Jun 9, 2017

Holy shit. That cover looks great!

Kain-Nosgoth · Jun 9, 2017

Shinkawa needs to make alt covers and posters for everything.
That poster he did for Pacific Rim was baller as hell.

Sectorseven · Jun 9, 2017

Only the cover? That's going to be a tad misleading when you go to read it.

dark_chris · Jun 9, 2017

Love the cover!

andythinkpad · Jun 9, 2017

Somebody can make a fake MGS game cover out of this.

thequickandthedead · Jun 9, 2017

That's paz

Razgriz-Specter · Jun 9, 2017

Love his art,
So happy a Gaf member got me his Pacific Rim poster.

Anth0ny · Jun 9, 2017

Shinkawa the god.

BadWolf · Jun 9, 2017

Whenever I see his art all I can think is Metal Gear.

SpaceWolf · Jun 9, 2017

Find it pretty ugly.

Savitar · Jun 9, 2017

Metal Goddess?!?!

AuthenticM · Jun 9, 2017

holy fuck

I love it.

Not his best work but it still looks good.

Slayer-33 · Jun 9, 2017

Metal Gear?

METAL GEAR!?!

Dynomite · Jun 9, 2017

Not a fan.

jett · Jun 9, 2017

Shinkawa has a serious case of sameface when it comes to drawing female characters, it seems.

Yeah that face is really similar.

Htown · Jun 9, 2017

what is supposed to be in the anthology?

eggandI · Jun 9, 2017

nasty

Keasar · Jun 9, 2017

Punished Amazon.

It's unfortunate how many otherwise extremely talented artists fall victim to this. Jim Lee being one of the bigger examples I can think of.

It's probably this:

French edition cover:

It's a really great book. It collects the 40s and 80s origins as well as some important and celebrated WW stories. And it's on sale on comixology this week.

Adnor · Jun 9, 2017

Not really a fan, the proportions are weird and it looks like WW has a baby's face.

Tagyhag · Jun 9, 2017

It's a great looking cover, but it looks more like Paz.

A cada of same everything.

There is style and there is always doing the same stuff. Shinkawa falls in the later

I really don't understand his appeal. He's alright, but I just don't find the samey nature of most of his work appealing.

PepsimanVsJoe · Jun 9, 2017

Ehh...She looks positively waifish.

He's pretty good at doing manly men and flowing hair

Well it does say Cover Illustration by Yoji Shinkawa. Not "Interior Art"

True.

duckroll · Jun 9, 2017

I think it's awful tbh. I love his art and his original designs, but that's just one lazy take on Diana. It's just the same Meryl style design he has always drawn, with a sword, and there is barely any attempt to make armor look good rather than just being detailed filled into the skinny body frame. One of his lamer guest efforts.

meltingparappa · Jun 9, 2017

The god and master

I love his Pacific Rim illustration as well.

NateDog · Jun 9, 2017

I love his style but yeah I don't dig this, looks way too similar to characters we've seen before, her entire body and face looks too narrow.

Astral Dog · Jun 9, 2017

She looks like she is going bald D:

MCD · Jun 9, 2017

Should have asked Murata.

Pie and Beans · Jun 9, 2017

One of his worst. Face is incredibly flat and feels pasted on in an almost meme like way.

Hastati · Jun 9, 2017

this is great!!!

after seeing WW she's become the coolest modern superhero in my book, this art captures her badass elegance.

AlexFlame116 · Jun 9, 2017

I love it.

Screw all y'all haters.

Ninja Scooter · Jun 9, 2017

12 year olds head on an adult body. Looks like Selena Gomez.

mjc · Jun 9, 2017

Trash cover, I usually like his stuff.

yogloo · Jun 9, 2017

I am a big fan of shinkawa, but this is no good.

Toa TAK · Jun 9, 2017

Paz posters here on point.

Not the best he's done, but his artwork is still great.
