First word that came to mind was "nice", then I realized it was not exactly the right word. Impressive art. Really makes one feel how evil he is.

I wonder if Warren was not the one who actually posted this.

What if it was actually "Warren's Desktop"? I wonder if Warren's Desktop is actually jealous of The iPad of Wonder?


Can you imagine the posting EPIC-NESS if Warren's Desktop battled The iPod of Wonder in an image posting war!

Oh my!

Thanks for sharing this amazing piece of work.
I hope it's a regular/pullbox cover, though...

I really love it, and I hate to bring any negativity, but I find myself preferring the original. The new image shows evil and perhaps a bit of rage, but the BWS original is just creepier. The look of calm confidence... licking the small dabble of blood... It's just so creepy in its evilness. The new image seems to be lacking some subtext. But maybe my perception is based on having read the original books, and not having read the new yet.

But the artwork is fantastic!
I would agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong.
