Owner's Description
"I Was Bodyguard to a Beast!" So, I have to ask the question: Can a cover, can the cover art, be both good and heinous at the same time? Because. Well, because of this cover. Word balloons are bad and make everything worse most of the time. This one is no exception, in that it is too wordy - maybe if it just said "Don't shoot!" it'd be okay. I think we can all agree that the monster is horribly drafted, as if it was taken from the sketch of some bored preschooler and dropped in an otherwise kinda good cover. The face, the hand-feet, the shapeless body, the lack of any menacing features, he's just boring and then colored pink. And I usually think pink is pretty awesome - even on monsters. But this is a travesty that is so bad it completely overwhelms an otherwise pretty solid effort by Dick & Shelly. Right? Look at the slack-mouthed cops, the victim in the air with his really awesome plaid cap, even the fact that the lamp hangs in front of the masthead - it's pretty cool. I like the lighting and the use of color (except the beast) - it's just a pretty good cover. Except.
Overall? We get this? After the pretty awesome cover we had last issue? I just don't know that the details that stand out to me today, as an adult, would have been interesting to me as a kid - and well, the monster is just dumb. So, no. I can't see this separating me from my hard earned dime.
