I think it is the perfect balance between looking totally unlike the actors (in some of the earliest comics, I can't tell the difference between Buffy, Willow, Anya and Cordelia, it's so bad) and looking so totally like the actors that it might as well be a photo. Even if the stories were crap (and they're not because Himself is writing them), I think I would be buying these just for the pretty!
I thought Jo Chen's covers were sweet but Georges Jeanty's variants are pretty amazing too. Jo Chen's are more like portraiture - she only has to produce one picture a month for this series after all - but Jeanty's just "get" the characters so perfectly!
