If I had to sum up a reaction to this issue in one word, it would be "spooky". There's a whole lot going on that we're not seeing. It's building something and going somewhere, and whatever it's doing is going to be all sorts of not good. For the world in the story, that is. Good for the readers!
Is there something significant about how the covers really don't go with the content?
Yeah -- they ask me for cover ideas months in advance of my having written the bloody scripts! So now I just say "yeah, whatever Ivan wants to draw, get away from me!"

This makes me laugh. I look at the covers as a little glimpse into Heavenside that we might not see - the fact that you aren't really directing them (and they work) is neat.
I had to order this one off the internets, since my local comic shop claims "they still have it on order" when I asked him why I haven't gotten it in my pull folder. Missing books does not piss me off so much (I can always find it online somewhere) but it is the lying that gets me. The guy knows that I am a former retailer and I left my last comic shop for the same bullshit. So why even try to feed me the line?
Black teeth reminds me a bit of Jerry Cornelius? I can't really spot any other connections yet though, aside from the sex, violence and insanity. So it could be a coincidence.
