Hrm. Well, in defense of my original notion, nipples in this context would be sexually oriented, and I believe, warrant a rating higher than PG-13.

Plus, being wrapped around by a giant phallic symbol... with boobs too... wow, confused sexual metaphor much...

This cover is... bad. I ignore the small instances of wanky proportions on most of the covers but this one is fugly. I don't like the comic-book tits either. It's Alyson Hannigan as Willow we're dealing with here, come on now. I'll pick up the varient I think.

Wow. Just wow.
This is my single favorite cover by Jo Chen, and yet it's the single most criticized image yet in the history of the season 8 comics.
Sometimes I wonder if there are two different alternate realities here, and if we're all even looking at the same thing.

S'ok... we still have at least 10 more covers from Chen and Jeanty each, assuming that they do all the covers from #31 to #40 (or #41, if that's indeed less official-ish and more official). Plenty more images to get the crap kicked out of them...

I wonder if I have a brain lesion or something, and just don't perceive reality as other people do.
Am I a normal person in Bizarro World, or a Bizarro person in a normal world?
I'm thinking of getting "I disagree" tattooed on my forehead.

I'm thinking of getting "I disagree" tattooed on my forehead. Start with a button. Go from there.

Anyway, the more of you that hate this cover, the more looking-room there is for the few of us who love it.

I love Jo Chen's cover for this. But then again, I love all her covers. I'm extremely excited to see Saga Vasuki again. As for Willow looking inhuman, maybe Jo was going for the High Classical period sculpture look. Making the "ideal human" form, representing both Willow and Saga Vasuki both like Goddesses. Just so you guys know, this information not might be accurate. I look AP Art History last year. I passed but barely any of it stuck with me. Happy to see Karl Moline being a part of the team as well. Love his work.

That Jo Chen cover is SEN-SU-AL! It looks like a more artistic version of that scene in the Time of Your Life arc, see people were smack talking that arc but I knew it played a huge role in the story.

Considering how wrapped up Willow is in Vasuki's coils here, I'd say that it more resembles the flashback from "Anywhere But Here" than "ToYL". Also, since this a prequel of sorts to S8, the timing would line up more with the aforementioned flashback than "ToYL".
