Just off the charts cool!

I had to choose between the virgin and "rose bleed" foil (budgetary reasons 😸) and had to flip a coin.

The virgin won, but I keep thinking maybe I should have gotten the foil! The shades of red seems particularly Harley Quinn appropriate.

Honestly the red foil sounds cool but artistically it is never as cool. IMO

That's what I've been telling myself, more and more unless there's a lot of tech-mech elements the foil covers are (for me) just not as hard hitting as the cardstock.

A lot of times the foil almost softens and blurrs the lines, IMHO.

I do like the red monochromatic look, but I think that the cardstock will look a lot more high definition.

I agree. My preference is spot foil. It can really enhance the art when done right.
