I’ll be nice and say this is a slight improvement over the old cover. While I’m not sure what I’m looking at, at least it isn’t poorly drawn cartoon people.
I didn’t think the cartoon people were that badly drawn. At least with that cover you had a sense of what the book was about. This? I feel like I’m staring at an iris valve, waiting for it to open. Dull. Even the font is worse. No, IMO, this cover is worse.

SP#2: I gotta go to the can, man.
