I still prefer the original cover just on the historical and iconic grounds. I cannot figure why they would want to change it.
I wasn’t going to comment at first, until I saw the freaky “3-D chat” ad on the right. The chat avatar character looks like DC’s Huntress!
These Google ads are getting way too good…

Depending on the ultimate cover design and dress, there’s all sorts of ways to make a new iconic representation out of a quoted past.

Or, how about this: hire Neal Adams to do a new, but retro, cover?
