Then he started a New Romantic band called Roxy Rocketships. They got big in Japan. The End.

Unfortunately it took him three hours to get dressed every morning, so the mutant cat got the treasure.

With a mutant cat made into a pair of trousers…

Hey, look at that, his drapes match the carpet.

He’s Murdoc Jern, the cat is Eet.

Are you sure you want to carry your crossbow like that?

Fake marble walls and hazard-tape – is he patrolling a condemned mall?

The locking mechanism for the crossbow string seems to be non-existent.

I think this takes place in a world where the number one type of selfie death is accidents posing with crossbows.

This cries out for a “puffy shirt” tag.

@THX 1139: like ogres and onions, he has _layers_.
It’s not an ugly cover, but frankly, I think Tom Canty’s style is more suited to fantasy than science fiction. (Has anyone read the book and can tell me if he actually carries around a crossbow rather than a more SF-traditional ray gun? [1])

I hate to be the one to ask, but someone has to — is his fly open?

I guess “with a mutant cat on his shoulder” didn’t fit?
I know I’ve read this book, though not recently, but I think I’d have remembered if the hero was wearing such a ridiculous shirt and… stuff. He’s a gem dealer, why aren’t there any gems on the cover to amp up the gaudiness? And I don’t remember the badly-aimed crossbow.
This IS a “puffy shirt” as @B’man said. It personifies it. Or shirtifies it or something.
@Tor: I think bits of his… shirt seems too tame… upper garment are trailing down, making it look that way.

I think his codpiece is smoking a cigar. At least I hope that’s what it’s doing.

“Don’t do it, man!! You’ve got so much to live for!! Put away that crossbow… gently!”

@BC: If his codpiece is smoking a cigar, puddy tat isn’t the only mutant on this cover.

Excited Publisher: Star Trek outfits are out, Seinfeld Puffy Shirts are in! Andre, this cover is going to make your latest book unforgettable!
Ms. Norton: Ummm… okay I guess?

It’s nice that there’s a platform in the vicinity of his left shoulder for the mutant cat, but it sure looks to me that the position of his left arm is saying that his left shoulder is *nowhere near* supporting the platform.
Must be fastened on the inboard end and cantilevered out from there. It’s a good thing that whoever designed it has a grasp of civil engineering, though most likely on a different scale.

@Hammy: Either you’re right about the cantilevering, or kitty’s mutant power is levitation.
