Working on promos for some targeted Bulgaria advertising:

What works? What doesn't? How's the copy? Opinions? Criticisms?

Wow these are slick.   I find the tag line for the third one not as compelling.  Rather than "watching", can you pick a character to focus on, or tell it from the Super or non-super's point of view.  Also I prefer the Brooklyn Bridge to the Manhattan, but I'm heavily biased in that respect so ignore that.

Yep! The series takes place in Seattle, but the location art is Tokyo followed by Chicago, and finally, New York.

Let me think about different copy for the third one.

AS THE WORLD WATCHES... NOT EVEN SUPERS ARE SAFE FROM THE FALLOUT

I like the images a lot. The text is just a little static, though. There's my poor contribution to your idea box. :D

Absolutely stunning! But those covers really do half the work, don't they? I like the revised tagline for 3 also. Did you use Bookbrush?

nope, covervault. Mark has some amazing “drop-in” mockups.

Just a few slight notes.

In the first one, I'd change the comma to an ellipses and just a period at the end.

In the third one, I don't feel the word "of" works as well as "between" might work, but that's just a nit pick. Or just take out "of" and put in a colon or M dash maybe. Otherwise, they're fantastic.
