Anyway, remember the rule, folks: don't disparage the covers!

I think restorative nostalgia is the number one issue with comic book fans.
A fine distinction between two types of Nostalgia:
Reflective Nostalgia allows us to savor our memories but accepts that they are in the past
Restorative Nostalgia pushes back against the here and now, keeping us stuck trying to relive our glory days.
I think I know which cover I'm going to vote for, but it will have to wait until morning.
Can't sleep, so time to vote.

Time to vote! And I'm going for Shalla Bal. The cover doesn't actually creep me out when viewed metaphorically.
