That is an industry where the cover art has to sell the story & negative space is the enemy. Heck the most characters are not even facing the reader on that so how is there going to be any instant connection to them.
Not trying to be negative about this cuz it's a cool concept, but my POV is it needs a little more put into it.

Well, I am not a comic guy myself, so I wouldn't know what is already out there. I think, however, what they are saying is that they are the first at having a comic book with "all "gay" characters. <shrug>.
I was just quoting the article and thought that maybe someone would be interested in the link. In reference to the artwork, I guess I see it kind of like when the first lesbian movies came out...they weren't all that good, but we were glad they were out there.
