How do you guys like the new cover art? I didn't have a problem with the first one, but I think this new one looks pretty great, especially with everyone on the spine.

I liked the first one, it was very unique.
Although by only having the legs -- it could throw people off.

As for the new one, I like it even more.
It seem like the did a photo shoot, and the bottom half was used for the first draft. And then they decided to go with the top half of everybody.
