I've enjoyed the Jo Chen covers, especially the Willow cover on #3. However, I really dislike the cover to #1 because the anatomy is awful. See if you can track it down and then take a long hard look at her mismatched arms.

Oh no! I love that cover. How dare she have mismatched arms!

It just drives me nuts because it was used as the primary advertising image for the launch of the series and not one frikkin editor/art director said "Waitaminute, what the fuck is up with her arms?"

Okay, taking a look at it, I can see that her left arm is kind of fucked up, like it's missing some bones.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
D insists she's holding her left arm at an odd angle i.e. it's foreshortened but I think her upper arms are two different lengths. I hadn't noticed until just now.

Jo Chen rocks. And I want to give a shout out to my pal Eric Wight as I believe that's his Buffy animated art in the TV.

Oh, don't get me wrong, i like Jo Chen's work too. Just not that image.
Laga, it's not foreshortening. Or it's foreshortening gone horribly wrong. Either way, she has mutant arms.
