Hey Muxa, what’s your take on comic book cover design—do you lean into classic layouts or like to smash the rules with wild, experimental styles? I’ve got a whole stack of vintage covers that show how every era played with composition, but I’d love to hear how you’d remix that for the modern reader.

Oh wow, comic covers are like a playground, right? I love the classic layouts because they’re the foundation, the beat you can always dance to. But honestly, I start smashing them up, throwing in some glitchy overlays, a splash of neon, maybe a 3D pop‑up effect or a crazy color bleed that doesn’t respect margins. Think of a vintage hero, but their silhouette is glitching into a digital wave. I mix those old comic panels with pixel art or even motion graphics for the cover page, so when someone flips it it almost feels alive. The key is to keep that nostalgic vibe but let the edges go wild, like a burst of confetti that breaks the frame. It’s all about giving the modern reader a fresh shock while still nodding to the past.
