Tat Wood Comments: I can’t come up with anything more damning than the blurb (crummy punctuation and all):

Post-Holocaust Paris is a pretty seedy stand-in for the original, but what can you expect when the government’s main aim is Orgasm Prevention, and when the national hero is wandering around in Nowhen…

But things are changing! Rumor hs it that the Timetraveler is coming back. In a few months. At which point, Time itself will come to an end…

Right, we’re in a recession, we need a cover that sells! Hmm, all black cover? You, sir, are fired! We need exploding cities in the midst of being attacked. A woman in a yellow and black striped catsuit, no wait… an alien woman! She can be holding a dagger while she peers into the foreground, completely ignoring the chaos behind her. If that doesn’t sell I’ll jump right out that window.

Scott’s Art Direction: So there’s this rocket, that’s also a dude with an afro, taking off through a thundercloud that’s coming out of a water faucet, and the cloud’s holding some sort of city or something. Just trust me.
