Lets hope it isnt barebacked
No.
P.S.: That’s an awesome awful cover!
Hell yes, can’t wait. Great Kung-Fu Bob cover art.
To me that cover seems like the artist was trying to cram way too much in both characters & colors into one image but I suppose in doing so it represents the movie pretty accurately! I’m really looking forward to this release! Saga of the Pheonix, on the other hand, well … you still can’t polish a turd, folks!
