Really? I've found recent art to be more campy of late (although you can't
diss the cover of SR3). Bergting is still good, but some of the other
artists are stressing the fantastic elements more than the day-to-day
aspects of SR. There's more elves, magic, and weird powers flying through
the air. Not so much the basic "killers with an attitude" look that the old
pics had.
