In Response To: Book cover image . . . (Duffman)

: The Marine on the cover of the Halo novel looks disturbingly like a game
: engine render. Now, I'm as proud and happy as anyone that Halo's engine
: looks good enough to be used on the cover of a book, but still, you're

: People like to believe, and they like even more for others to believe, that
: they're mature and sophisitcated. Are they really going to buy a book so

: embarrassed to hand that to a cashier.

: But then, cashiers scare me. (I'd put one of those winky-smiley emoticons
: here, but I hate 'em. Emoticons, I mean.)

I agree completely; regardless of the worth of the book, that cover just looks silly. Bungie should've begged for Del Rey to get that guy who does all the covers for Poul Anderson...I forget his name. But he also did the box art for some space strategy game, and it was incredible. Or...maybe even Mullins should've done it. Whatever happened to Mullins, anyway? The book cover art looks cartoony, the box art looks cartoony...MULLINS! WE NEED YOU CRAIG!!!
