I like Giffen's art, it's odd, but it's kind of cool.

Now that Ninjak cover Greg posted is going to be hard to beat.
Im a massive Giffen fan too but this cover wins as it is just so bland and so not anything to do with VH1

The Psi-lords cover i actually like so whats up with that?

:twisted:

I preffer to imagine that Leonardi intended it as his subtle way of saying that something was wrong. At least, that's what I WANT to believe. In truth, it seems SOMETHING got past the editors. Given the era, BIG SHOCKEROO, no?

I agree, the extra finger would probably make for a major shocker.

Leeja deserves it though. :P
