there's just something off about these covers, isn't there?
Returning from the link and rubbing my burning eyes, I feel this question is a masterpiece of understatement.
You can't open the book of my life and jump in the middle. Like woman, I'm a mystery.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Cover for Buffy 14.
God, is Dawn EVER going to be un-embiggened???
Serenity: Better Days #3 cover . . . there's just something off about these covers, isn't there?
The Serenity cover looks like what someone would draw if they were trying to draw a parody of Firefly.

Dark Horse describes the cover artist as "critically acclaimed".
Thank goodness somebody else is drawing the actual story.

This page shows the Buffy season 8 covers - including the variant for #14. (Unfortunately, clicking on the cover to get the larger image also gets you the synopsis.)

Serenity: Better Days #3 cover . . . there's just something off about these covers, isn't there?
Simon began to wonder if he might not someday regret surgically replacing River's and Kaylee's heads with those of Cabbage Patch dolls...

I noticed on the Dark Horse site that they aren't even showing the second cover. . . like it's so disturbing that they're afraid to show it to us.

It's wrong. In... ways. Kaylee looks all hopped up on something. And River's head has been replaced by a chubby Lucy Liu.

FWiW, Adam Hughes is a highly acclaimed comic book artist, and I do think the painting technique he's using shows a lot of skill. He just happened to pick extremely freaky facial expressions for the women on this particular cover.
