hmmm... interesting

i don't really know what to think to be honest

graphically with the american flag it works pretty well

doesn't really shake me up at all though

 

[Fiercification]

Justin looks stupid with that facial expression but Amanda looks quite good (a little matronly though).

I'm most happy that Michael Thompson is definitely back in the building. Haters fall back.

 

[t-rex]

Michael Thompson has haters?

 

[justaguy]

Totally agree with Fiercification! Plus, I love Michael Thompson's work!!

 

[YourMonster]

This is fantastic!
For me the cover Just works! Everything from their expressions to the whole concept in general, they look like a very very sexy first family.

 

[Bertrando3]

I love this!!! I wish Justin's face would be more serious, the idea is genius, the clothes, light, stars, coverlines, very nice.

 

[Tinsley V]

Possibly a Presidential campaign editorial to go along with the cover?

 

[Fiercification]

Michael Thompson has haters?

Not really but there were some naysayers in his TFS thread, if you have a look .

I actually like Justin´s expression, reminds me of true politicians that vote no to gay marriage but they´re secretly banging his male assistant... that sorta creepy thing LOL

I don't get the cover What's with the weird pose and the political theme? If they were going for an All-American theme, they could have chosen a top American girl, someone like Joan or Arizona. They could have done so much with this theme and they chose this?

 

[Rigida]

don't really like it, maybe because of Justin

 

[congacon]

its a very tasty cover! love it.

 

[Marc10]

I love it, Justin looks so handsome. And great to see Michael Thompson back on big magazines.

 

[stamonopkaward]

I don't know why, but Amanda resembles Mila Kunis on this cover to me.

 

[Label Basher]

I do like how it's set out and the colour co-ordinating but it's just a weird cover sorry. I'm not very patriotic so anything with flags doesn't really grab me.

 

[JennaaMonroe]

Yeah she does look like Mila a little bit. I guess the cover ok. I mean at least it's unique and something we haven't seen before at least something I haven't seen before.

I don't ever see a model getting the cover of W again, unless they're Kate, Gisele, etc. It just doesn't seem to be that type of magazine anymore.

However, I am glad to see Michael Thompson back. I don't care for this cover, but whatever, but I just hope that this means that we'll get to see more (and better) covers from him for W in the near future.

hahaha i love it! they both look great!

Love the theme but both Justin and Amanda look awkward.
