At the risk of sounding like a perv, though… where are his ‘man-bits?’ I mean, that’s a pretty tight suit he’s wearing – is he actually a doll of some kind?
Looks like insect legs–say, a grasshopper. All in the thighs and nuttin’ but sticks below the knee.
Can’t find anything good to say about this. The background image looks like a blurry snapshot of Vegas. The type has a comic-book vibe, but not quite. And the tough guy? He may have Ken’s crotch but he’s got wacky, unmanly proportions everywhere else. The waist/thigh area is all wrong; I don’t think he can have an ass with that arrangement.

I wondered for a sec if this was a woman, because of the no package thing. And she/he looks a bit pregnant to me. But those thighs and legs! Is it an alien?
I did too. The black sky around his/her head looked like black hair that wasn’t stuffed into the helmet. And the body contours–chest, abdomen, hips–just struck me as feminine. Has anyone investigated further to validate the gender of the cover hero?
I was doing OK with this one until I scrolled down as far as the simpering smile. Or whatever that expression is supposed to be.

I wonder if this hero is made out of living clay that would explain the horrible body proportions.

Why is there an arrow pointing down at his belly button? Isn’t this supposed to be some kind of super hero costume? All it would take is to airbrush that away. Or something.
And, yeah, does he have an, um, appendage, or is he castrated? He’s supposed to be the Hard Target, I guess. But how can he get hard if doesn’t have – oh, nevermind.
The Blurb: “From the sins of the father a new superhero is born . . .
Step into the fast-paced world where everything lurks in the shadows, and in that darkness, something will rise to exact vengeance! Witness the rise of a new superhero in Hard Target: The Origin!” Still not sure if male or female: I will guess neither; Origin is a neuter. Even with “something will rise in darkness,” don’t think so naughty!
DEFINITELY the thighs. Unless he’s a satyr.

And, really, he seems eager to call attention to his groin, what with the arrow pointing to it and all.
It’s Ken, of Ken & Barbie, in his secret hero identity. Ken, as all Barbie fan girls know, has no genitalia.
The amazing, lycra-clad, no-gonad Chicken Leg Man!

Thighs are definitely creepier.
And the arrow. Maybe it should have “baby” instead of “H” printed on the chest.
Fist reaction: remember Steve Martin’s old shtick where he came onstage with a fake arrow through his head? *snicker*
Probably not what the author was going for…

Ha! I remember that. 🙂
Who needs sex when you have a bow?
