Massimo Carnevale is one of the best cover artists currently, and what I appreciate about his work, apart from his amazing painting skills, is the constant innovation on composition and approach. Each story arch he does something a bit different. I'm actually not certain if he does the graphic design as well but on "The Plague Widow" arch they put the title on the side which might be a bad decision, but works well with the composition and with the distinctive look of the book, I bet no one had a hard time finding the book on the shelves.
Carnevale has a great grasp on using blacks and white effectively and an eye for symbolism and details like the skeleton fish. His images make you intrigued about the story and into the mood of the book.
