Only because it looks like the moon/asteroid/whatever has two giant engines sticking out of it.

The only thing worse than obviously having used too many of the features on your graphics editor is obviously having used too many of the features on your graphics editor and failed to use them properly. Not only is one sky obviously overlaid on another, but nobody even bothered to try to fade the one into the other, leaving a strip of skyline that mixes both skies and yet somehow fails to blend in either one. This here is a case study in Reasons To Fire Your Cover Designer 101.

Is there legitimately a Displacer Beast on this cover?

That ghost lady is about to beaned in the head by the asteroid. Love that photo-bombing by the giant nerf ball at the bottom left and the ?six-legged? panther.
It looks like something white is in guy-hiker’s mouth. Maybe he’s smokin’ somethin’ funny, hence the weird scene.
Five legs at least. It must be an alien panther then . . . ?

There’s so much stuff going on here that it literally took me 45 seconds before I even noticed the big googly-eyed rock thing in the middle. Well done IJes Sigurdsson!
Also she’s got a dimensionless slab of color on her head where her hair should be, and a jawline like a german shepherd.

@Waffles That would be a displacer beast if it had a pair of tentacles on its back. Oh I may mention to get rid of it send a blink dog into the path of it. They loose their minds when they see one.

“That’s no moon. It’s a space station.”
Ha! đ
Awfully lumpy for a space station.

Two horizons.
That is art.
Art? Or, [snark]is this the hell from [i]Event Horizon[/i]?[/snark]
So, what’s the black jaguar’s role in the cover? Not even gonna ask about the transparent woman in the sky. Sheesh, what a mish-mash.
Did anyone notice the girl’s face is missing?
Also she’s got a dimensionless slab of color on her head where her hair should be, and a jawline like a german shepherd.

I assumed the tentacles were as relaxed as that cool cat and just lazily sitting behind the displacer beast.
Blink Dogs could help this cover, by blinking it away forever!
The designer must have been stoned when he made this, it’s the only explanation.
