Tom Luczycki’s Art Direction: I need a guy astride a giant walking fish-thing accompanied by a metallic angel with nippless bazooms. Could you have the guy holding an impossibly small and ineffective bow? Forget about the arrows. The bow is more a symbol for the subtext of the underlying metaphor. And moths. The moths should round things out nicely.

Ryan Comments: Between the blurb which might or might not lead into the title and the indistinct if menacing illustration, this one really scores all the points. Also, the people in that crowd need to move, or the Chinese New Year Dragon Parade is going to run them down.

Elijah Comments: Nothing says, “stirring look at spirituality and the uncertainty of agnosticism” like a badly-drawn cowboy running from a volcano.

Michelle Comments: I suspect the figure in the lower half of the cover found their armor just wasn’t enough to protect them from the title pun. Look at the poor spaceman, crushed by the agony! This is a follow-up to Matt’s submission of SpaceCops: Kill Station. I thought maybe you all hadn’t suffered enough, and another one from the series just came into the shop. Enjoy?
