Guess I'm definitely in the minority on this one!
I have always loved scene art, even if it wasn't how I pictured the scene in my mind. Sure, I've made fun of Sweet's covers, but I still enjoy the art.
Personally, I'm glad this is the UK edition. Obviously I'm buying the book, even if it does have a solid black cover - but I would be disappointed.

And I believe in you
altho you never asked me too
I will remember you
and what life put you thru.
~fly fly little wing, fly where only angels sing~
~this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you~
...for then I could fly away and be at rest. Sweet rest, Mom. We all love and miss you.

As some of you know, one of the identities I had while on your Earth was Odin. I went through quite a bit to learn the runes. When you compare them: kevinswatch.ihugny.com/phpBB2/album_view.php?id=297

Well, I'm sure you see my point. I was surprised when I came to the Earth of the Land, and found that the same runes are used! They are not merely an expression of one reality, but two!
We could speculate that they are an expression of any reality; that there is one ultimate reality that the multitude of planes are spun off of, and that these runes are common to them all because they come from the One. But I may be taking things a bit far.
