Certaintly more continuity and consistancy with them... I think I like the American ones better, but those are pretty good. I didn't even know they were release there O.o |

Those covers should be the covers of the American adult edition! (if there was an US adult's edition of BT, that is) |

Yeah, a friend of mine had the same one. They're nice covers, but it's the same picture on each one... |

Mmhmm. The film posters, if they're made, will probably look exactly like that. Or similar, I doubt Stroud would let them screw it up too badly. *Thinks of Eragon* Aww, shizt. |

Hey, I like the US covers (just checked it by the way). And it doesn't look childish. Pretty suave. |

Riiight. Law of Marilyn Manson - The weirder, the better. The more ambiguous, the closer to perfection. If it disgusts people? So what. |

The American ones are more detailed and better drawn but are definitely more juvenile in appearance. I do agree with one thing though, what the heck is that lion thing on PG supposed to be? |
