What is wrong with this cover

Love the cover.  The art is gorgeous.  Not sure why people are being hyper critical of it on the boards.  Like anything else, if you are looking for a reason not to like the art - you won't.  The very nature of this thread "what's wrong with this cover" suggests that the purpose is to be critical of the cover.  I suspect that the negative sentiment may have more to do with personal gripes about the seller (perhaps legitimate, perhaps not - none of my business either way) than it does the art, but I am reasonably certain that this book will have a ton of appeal on the secondary market when your average comic buyer get a look at it.

The nature of this thread was to try and help me find out why I dont like the cover. Like I mentioned in a previous post, at first glance I liked it, but then when I stopped and looked at it, something made it less desirable and I couldnt pinpoint what it was.

I dont know where you got the notion that I have a personal gripe with the seller. Ive bought from comic mint numerous times and will continue to buy if they put out a quality product (which this isnt).

This book has been on sale online for days now and yet to sell out, so much like your other assumption the secondary market appeal is questionable.

But youre right art is subjective, glad someone likes it

Not you - personally, maybe some of the onslaught of people in the thread, but at the very least two of my personal friends who have commented to me "I wouldn't give comicmint a dime ... [then they voiced some personal disputes which may or may not be legit].  Please don't take this as some sort of personal attack, and I am sorry if I wasn't clear about that and there was some sort of confusion.  But if you are on a fact finding mission, I think it's important to talk about this  My point is more like "you get what you measure" or "you'll find what you are looking for" and I think when you frame the question in the manner in which it was framed in the OP "What's wrong with this cover?"  ... then you are going to get an onslaught of negative comments.   It went on sale yesterday at 4:00 pm so it hasn't really been on sale for one day until 4:00 pm today.  Let's be clear about that.

I want to like this cover, but something about this cover just doesnt seem right and I cant quite figure it out.

Thoughts?

It reminds me of deapools' hand when it starts growing back in the 1st movie. But in this case, its the whole body trying to catch up to the head.
