I really like how Maggie is featured with her pregnancy and that Rick and Andrea are also featured together. It shows two very different intimacies, further augmented by the wall and representation of necessary protection.

Welcome to Feature Friday!

I think this has an interesting design. I think this would be a great display shelving unit, but also, could fit in an office with the wood design.

What do you think?

I really like the portrayal of Negan's strength and Eugene's apparent helplessness on this cover. It has a great contrast. As well, I like the portrayal of Rick's crew as looking like zombies shows the toll that the war is taking on them. A great cover.

Welcome to Feature Friday!

I am a big fan of Tetris, and I definitely would love this shelving unit. The colours on this would fit well in a kid's playroom, but with other colour options, it could be customized to fit anywhere.
