Hi,

I noticed issue 7 has a variant cover created after an Utagawa Kuniyoshi print. Are there any other covers that are based on other Japanese art pieces?

Thanks! Issue 7 was outstanding Stan :D

IDW issue #5 looks to be at least somewhat inspired by The Great Wave Off Kanagawa by Katsushika Hokusai.

Nice, I didn't catch that at first!

Is it the pixel art one? December 2019 was more or less "pixel art month." The latest issue of IDW Sonic the Hedgehog has one too, paying homage to Sonic Advance 3 for the GameBoy Advance.

Yes, the pixel art one. I had no idea, thanks for the information! Even though it's pixeled, it's still a sweet cover :)
