What a shame. I don’t really hate most of this cover, but…the reddish puke is simply appalling. I could almost ignore the coloring error, in the Crime-scene tape, if the spatter had been done decently. As it is, I keep wondering if it’s blood, puke, some sort of liquified brains from a gunshot, or…??? Really ruins a not-dreadful concept.

I vote it’s catsup. If not that, it could be ketchup. (I get the two confused at times.) That’s what happens when you want to read the Breaking News while having lunch at a greasy spoon diner that has clogged catsup bottles. New newspaper is cheaper than a suit, though.

I saw this and was like ‘This isn’t too bad, I like the title design’ than I scrolled down.

So that disgusting shit-splatter of ‘blood’ between us and the stack of ‘newspapers’ is supposed to be on the transparent window of a newspaper vending machine? Breaking News? More like broken, amirite?
No. I think it’s supposed to be ON the paper. Besides being appallingly disgusting, it’s also poorly done, as evidenced by the fact that you thought it was supposed to be on the glass of a newspaper vending box.
oh, you know, it’s that place. C’mon, y’know, that place that all those local news reporters are standing in front of, at 11:00 p.m., talking about how they are “broadcasting live, where earlier [read: 8 hours ago, mid-afternoon], masked bandits/intoxicated drivers/outraged parents robbed/ran over/picketed the bank/median/school…”
And so forth. THAT is where Breaking is. Just to the east of Bored and Lame.

That looks like wax, the kind they used to seal letters, back in the old days.
Maybe there are death-threats sent in sealed envelops?

Too bad, I really like the newspaper-style title, it’s clever. Everything underneath it, though, is vomit.

Where is Breaking anyway?
