Fly Boy Bad Ass

I gotta admit, when I first saw this cover, I laughed for a good two minutes. This kid is ten kinds of messed up. I swear to god, his mother must have had sex with a giant moth, then did ten kinds of hardcore drugs while she was pregnant. I get that those things are supposed to be wings and all, but they look kind of frail. I don’t trust wings if they’re not made of feathers, man. Those things make him look like one of those sluts during Halloween who wear nothing but bra and panties, add a pair of wings and bunny ears, and voila! A costume. What the fuck. Stupid whores. I do dig the addition of pointed ears, though. I like a cover artist who pays attention to details. Maybe he/she can explain to me WHAT THE FUCK is protruding from his side. For realz, what is that thing? Did his hip bone get dislocated in a flying accident or something? Pop that shit back in, dude, it’s disgusting! His pants do look like some kind of chrysalis or something. Maybe it houses a pupa and a giant butterfly will emerge from that bump. Eww. Seriously, though, do the fae know nothing about shampoo? ‘Cause dude is seriously sporting some ‘do made famous by some of those Seattle grunge bands or something. I bet you could wring a bucket of grease from that. And some ticks. Eww. Oh, and before I forget, take a look at this belt? And how much do you love his necklace? He certainly knows how to accessorize. Homeboy is trendy, dude. Trendy like a thirteen year old girl who shops at Charlotte Russe.

You may thank Mar for this cover, kids.

    I’m very concerned by the twinkle-beams that seem to be radiating from his nipples.

    This cover may be a little much but, man this chick can write. I have read both her Darkscape books, the first book in this series and I have this one on my authomatic buy list.

    I have a copy of Darkscape: Rebel Lord, but I can’t find Book 2. I have this thing about not wanting to read a book if I can’t immediately get ahold of the sequel. Damn it! I don’t want to pay 29 bucks for a book that might suck. Though I looked around for an e-copy of that book (there were none) and all the reviews were like… “WOW… THIS BOOK IS TOTALLY AWESOME… TOO BAD YOU CAN’T FIND A COPY OF IT, ASSHOLE!”

    grr. I wonder if I can email the author and ask her to send it to me.

    She does write fantastic stuff. I’d be spitting nails if I were her. He could at least stand up straight and not have a dreidel sticking out of his right hip.

    The first thing I thought about when I saw that cover was this:

    I manage a books-a-million store and I have to say. The first time I looked at the cover and the cover of the first book, I laughed. The covers are horrible and obviously their artists are not very good with photoshop. These covers are so bad, if you ever see the first one, you’ll think this one was a step up. The first one is absolutely horrible. I’m glad that I’m not the only one who thought these were crappy. I wouldn’t read the book just because of the covers.
