From Kim:
Damn, that is a weird-looking cover. Not very romantic - it looks like he's giving her the Heimlich maneuver or something.

Those Dark Horse artists never really know what to do with Luke's face. They sort of base it on his face back in ANH or something. Hamill's what, fortyish now? (Mid-forties?) The pictures never seem to look like the way he really does (or did) at the equivalent ages... (He's turned up in enough sitcoms recently...)

And what's the deal with the leather glove? Why is he still wearing this? I thought he'd only pulled it on in ROTJ because the hand had gotten damaged in the fight on Tatooine. You mean to tell me he never got the hand FIXED? How many years has it been? Can't the New Republic afford the spare parts? (This drives me crazy. They have faster-than-light travel but can't fix a little boo-boo in a mechanical hand...)

And in the picture, with those lovingly rendered light-sabers on their hips, all I can think of is, "Is that a light-saber on your belt, or are you just glad to see me?"

Shudder.
