Sounds of silence
I’m not actually dead.
I am miffed that I couldn’t get a single damn justification out of the internet over the H4H#13 cover.
I am amused that Rational wandered off.
I am also oh so slightly on the quiet side of things because I’m up to something nefarious backstage.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
*flounces off into the night*
I love being the goddamn Designated Sidekick.
Back later, once the trouble and the coffee have finished brewing
I look forward to your nefarious plans coming to fruition, with approximately equal parts anticipation and trepidation.

You can argue against Joey Q’s response:
JQ: This one I can answer to. First, I think people are reading way too much into that cover than was ever intended. I heard terms such as “tentacle rape” being thrown around when that in no way is what’s happening, nor does it happen in the book. Those tentacles are the arms of the Brood who appears in the issue and is a major story point, the Brood have tentacles, sorry about that.
Secondly, the concept for that cover, soup to nuts came from a female artist. Thirdly, not being a deep follower of manga, I have no idea what recurring theme people are referring to or concerned with. While I appreciate the sentiment and the feelings that some may have about this, I honestly feel that there is way too much being read into this cover.
Also, HFH is a book that features two strong, lead female protagonist who kick major ass; somehow folks have forgotten to focus on that.
