The Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales Reversible Cover Is Seriously Stylish

Cool but I never do reversible arts cause they’ll look awful on the shelf cause of the spine. XD

I get Insomniac wanted both the original and Miles Morales cover art to be similar to each other, but I really wish this was the main cover lol.
It retains the simplicity from the original but it's so slick!

I genuinely hate the fact that the reversible covers aren't just the default art. The retail cover at launch just looks so uninspired. I get that they wanted to bring uniformity between Miles Morales and the PS4 game, but honestly I think the reversible covers for both represent the stylistic and aesthetical differences between the two games and what makes each special

Next weekend i should be playing this unless family comes round.

@Daleaf difference is on the ac one is the female character instead of the male on the front cover

This is a much better cover. Insomniac seem to mistake ‘simplistic’ and ‘uninspired’ with their cover arts.

@nessisonett I get the feeling that might have a lot to do with Marvel's involvement.

They should let you do that with digital games as well

Amazing. I'll be using this version. Should be getting my copy in the post tomorrow....to stare at for 7 days whilst trying to avoid spoilers 😭

I love a reversible cover wish it was a standard thing for all games

@LiamCroft

I like it. That would be a great cover for a steelbook. Shame that the Sony PS5 games don't seem to have steelbooks.

I mean I'd use it but it looks so bad on the spine.

@LiamCroft lmfao Ultimate Alliance 3 and Avengers both got better cover art

At least they have backgrounds

@TheFrenchiestFry @nessisonett So two games that focus on multiple characters rather than a single one?

@LiamCroft Ok how about literally every Spider-Man game in the Activision era dating back to the first PLAYSTATION-EXCLUSIVE Spider-Man game on the PS1 in 2000. Hell, I'll even throw in the Atari 2600 game while I'm at it. It actually had things going on lol

You're REALLY stretching for excuses. Marvel games have had legendary cover art in the past for games they have been just as integral in helping develop. There is no excuse whatsoever, especially for a game where the literal backdrop is arguably the most iconic locale in Marvel Comics lore due to how many characters including Spider-Man were born, raised and cultivated their powers there. New York City is every bit as much of a character as Spider-Man is, and the reversible art shows that off way better.

@Daleaf lol don't worry i only found out myself earlier onlne

@TheFrenchiestFry You’re taking this a lot more seriously than I am 😂 I’m not making up excuses for why a box art is the way it is, I’m quite literally just putting my ideas and thoughts out there.

@LiamCroft Well here’s two that focus on just Spider-Man yet are a million times more interesting.

@LiamCroft You presented a counterpoint regarding this being the result of Marvel having creative direction over it.

I brought up examples where that still produced good box art, both in recent memory and other Spider-Man games from previous consoles.

Maybe I'm taking it seriously because you actually tried to present a counterpoint that can easily be countered in of itself, and also elaborated on how the current art could've been better given my knowledge of Marvel lore and you know...I know the source material because I read comics

I've completely changed my opinion of the PS5 standard box art layout. When I first saw them I thought they were horrible. White header, black font and blue box just seemed all kinds of awful. But now I think they do a great job of highlighting the individual cover art.

On topic, I hate reversible covers unless they also have the banner, spine etc. too.

Looks great. Miles Morales is such a well designed and constructed character. Deserving of more games in the future

@TheFrenchiestFry @nessisonett I'm sure we can all agree that Maximum Carnage on the SNES had the best cover art of any Spidey game.

@ChaosBadger777 I remember the cartridge being Carnage's face blending into a red background which was pretty sick looking
