Welcome back to Cover Snark!
From Karen H: I actually like this cover since I generally like men with muscles and the color scheme is different and pretty. But, the model’s left shoulder just looks like it has a weird growth. It’s probably the lighting but didn’t anybody look at it beforehand? Or does it look normal to everybody but me?
Sarah: I didn’t think so at first glance, but the more I look, the more the shoulder/pec/deltoid? sequence on the right looks…weird. Anyone familiar with anatomy want to correct me?
Dear god did he tear his pec and build up both parts?!
I asked my older child, who lifts, and he thinks the shoulder/deltoid area is normal, but that crease in the pec is concerning.
And folks, if you haven’t gotten your mammogram, Mr. Hero is here to remind you to have your regularly scheduled exam if possible!
From Nico: Because there I was, mindlessly scrolling through Copperfield’s, hot buttered rum in hand, when I had to double-check at what looked like a cover featuring a man pushing an axe handle through his head.
(I know he was supposed to be holding it behind his head, but something about the editing and angle looks like he’d pooled a Fooly Cooly and was pushing it through the extradimensional space in his forehead)
Sarah: I read the email from Nico first and thought, really? Then I looked at the cover.
Yup. That axe is coming right out of his left temple. This does not seem like a mountain boss move.
He has mountain bossed too close to the woodpile.
Elyse: That’s a tumor, sir.
Another from Karen H: I simply cannot recognize what the hero is holding in his right hand (actually, he’s not really holding it in my opinion but anyway) and I was hoping someone could identify it for me. Is it a tie, or a sock filled with sand, or what exactly? And what about the dirt or whatever on his left arm? Not to mention the strangely sharp, flat tattoo on his leg.
Sarah: Why does he have arm fungus?
Susan: I’m more worried about his other arm being a black hole that appears to be eating his shirt.
And if Disney sees that woman’s face they’re gonna sue.
Elyse: What is going on with his shorts? The legs are two different lengths.
Did the team order their gear from Temu?
Sarah: Wait, is that a…neck tie? What is happening?
Also she looks like a child and that gives me the creeps.
From Caroline: This cover raised some questions for me.
Sarah: Is Magenta even holding the baby? Or is the baby floating?
Amanda: That baby looks positively boneless.
Sarah: I am all for really good, long lasting sleep for all babies, and for their parents, but I have serious concerns about his caretaking skills. That baby won’t float in mid air forever!
