Yeah, I'm still bummed out that I had to settle for a newsstand edition of this issue (I can't abide those ugly, tasteless barcodes on the front), but it's still a really kool issue to own nonetheless. That cover art, though, and the exploding yellow backdrop really makes it all come together. Dynamic stuff!
