Weekly Roundup #10

Every Friday, we're taking a look at the film and television posters released over the past week. Enjoy! 
If you need any proof that IMAX posters are the secret treasures of this world, look no further. There are enough superheroes here that one could mistake this for Avengers film, if not for the orbiting rings of Captain America's shield. 
To accompany the release of its first trailer, this poster hints at the film's colorful weirdness while showcasing its A-list star. 
Once again, X-Men: Apocalypse's poster campaign deserves a resounding "meh." Don't get me wrong, each one of these young, attractive mutants in their vaguely symmetrical poses look good, but it's really nothing more than the generic superhero movie poster.  
The comic book styles are admirable on their own, but the fake video game ESRB rating in the bottom left corner adds a whole new dimension (especially when you see Patrick Stewart listed among "Bloody Violence" and "Strong Language" as a justification of the film's rating). 

Designed by comic book artist Phil Noto, this is a perfect example of the Trailer Poster: a poster composed exclusively of imagery from the first teaser trailer for the film. (The Force Awakens had its own share of Trailer Posters.) 

Which poster is your favorite? Tell me in the comments, and feel free to subscribe.
