I just noticed: the publishing schedule is one volume every THREE months??  How do they expect to release them all with that much time to cover?  They'll lose a lot of the new market's interest that way, too.  I mean, I could barely wait ONE month!

Maybe they won't rerelease some of the crappier ones?  ~hopeful~

Haha.  Anyway.  I don't like the fonts on the new cover but otherwise it's not terrible...though ideally I would love to see something more like the cover of MM#4.

Yeah, they could cut the oatmeal episode--that would really move things along.

the new font won't match my tattoo!

That's okay! It'll forever identify you as a lover of CLASSIC Animorphs!

Hey! Don't rag on OatMeal! That book was amazing. Would you really deprive the world of the only great battle involving oatmeal?!
Meh.

But I loved the oatmeal! And I know that most people hated it, but I also 'liked' the Buffalo-human one. ( I don't like the Atlantis one though... what the heck?)

You know, I liked them all till I started hanging around the fandom. :P

I love the oatmeal one. It's really awesome from a dark humor standpoint - yes, it's oatmeal, but Marco and Rachel are pretty much arguing that Rule of Funny justifies chemical warfare. I mean, really.

I agree. I loved the whole feel to the cover of MM#4. It gave the books seriousness or something that none of the others had.
And in that moment, I swear we were infinite.

yeah, as i said before, they really should have stuck with the old font. :P
the covers are hopefully a WIP; i really don't think they look right, yet. with all the modern technology, you'd think they could do better than the gimmicky tilt-effect. i won't fully judge it until i see it myself, but i'm disappointed.

megamorphs four should be the new standard. i really hope they don't ruin that cover during megamorphs 4 2.0

Now I've checked a little more the cover, something I don't like is the new logo "Animorphs". I preferred the old one.

worked so well, why did they change it?!!!

Umm, that was the TV show's logo. This was the original logo.


But I agree, either one of those are better than the latest revision.
Yeah but I couldn't find the pic of the logo of the books... Thanks ;)

I don't like the fact that they took out the taglines on the cover.

Everything will be the same, aside from maybe a few outdated references (TV shows, video games, etc), and those changes have been directly approved by K.A. Applegate. The outcome for the story and characters will not change.

Also, The first 2 books are also now available to pre-order on Amazon. http://www.hiracdelest.com/blog/?p=867
