    Default PDA Cover Competition Group 7

    We move onto Group 7 and I'm now hoping to have the Sunday as the regular start/finish day.
    So, choose a favourite cover from Matrix, Last Man Running and Byzantium.

    Simple choice really, Byzantium is far better than the other two.

    Matrix. Hated the book, but the cover features loads of TARDISes, so it's cool!
    One Day, I shall come back, Yes, I shall come back,
    Until them, there must be no regrets, no tears, no anxieties, Just go forward in all your beliefs,
    and prove to me that I am not mistaken in mine!

    Byzantium is a nice cover, although the two Romans looking lovingly into each other's helmets doesn't generate any great sense of tension. Is it a good book, I don't think I've ever heard anybody mention it before?

    The Doctor/Leela one is just a dreadful green mess, so like Lord P I'm going for "Matrix" - with the same qualifier, that it's a nicely atmospheric cover for a pretty disappointing book.

    Matrix was a bizarre book really- I liked all the stuff in the alternative 60s, but the stuff with the Valeyard was unnecessary.

    But it does have my favourite cover in this round.

    Last Man Running is the only one I've read of these three - book wasn't great, but the cover's got a nice feel to it, even if it is a uninspired Black Sheep swirl. Byzantium reminds of The Myth Makers.

    I'll go for Matrix - it's not especially well made but I like the ideas in the design.

    Not a great selection, but I'd say 'Byzantium' has the best artwork on offer.

    certainly not a great selection Matrix, is just dull and bland. Last Man Running, is just awful and sickly looking there's way to much green and i'm not a big lover of green.

    So my vote gose to Byzantium.
