This series' title is one of the highest-occurring tags on my blog. And that's not likely to change in the future. Anyone who's read any of my other stuff about this series and the Awesome Universe that spawned it knows how much I love this stuff.
I talked a bit about this cover in my Faces of Glory series. Marat Mychaels takes over the artwork post-Awesome Universe, and I have to be very honest - his art is just not to my liking. Actually, I should clarify. I like his interiors fine. I find them a bit stiff, but they're light-years beyond what I could ever accomplish. But the exteriors, especially on this series, are basically pin-up model shots of superheroes. The cover of a comic is meant to draw the reader in, and give them an idea of what they're going to be paying for. This cover gives us nothing to do with the story within, which is actually a kind of creepy monologue from a man watching Gloria West, Glory's new human host, at the coffee shot she works at.
Though what I take away from it is the ridiculousness of a dude like this thinking that his purpose is to protect someone who is the avatar of a warrior goddess.
Like all women are.
I'll leave it there for a bit. This preview prints a few pages from issue #1, so I'll deal with the rest of the story tomorrow.
More to follow.
