This kicks ass. I love everything from the typeface choices to how the art (and title!) play with superposition to convey new ideas, and how there’s some subtle texturing to the flat colors that really give them a tactile feel, like it’s being actively projected through old transparencies (slides, film, whatever). The frantic body language only easing when the two central figures connect has such cool thematic implications! A chance encounter, the eye of the storm, the inciting incident before it all goes to hell…there’s a lot of ways this one could go, and I’d want to read all of them. Also it looks like the cover to an old pulp paperback and that makes me smile a lot.
I feel like i’m part of a 1960s espionage thriller, and i like it :D

Oh hell yes, this is so stylish!
This cover is SO cool, I love the colour choices!
I’ve said it on Tumblr, I think I’ve said it on Twitter: this cover fucks supremely, it’s soooo good omg
It’s got that great cut out feeling, and the deliberate registration problem is the icing on the cake.
