It's the last issue. It's gotta be something profoud, right?
I'm voting for a solid white cover. No title, no issue
number, no vertigo logo or bar code.
A few other suggestions that would be bloody cool:
- A mirror cover. Depending on the outcome of the series,
this might actually be more appropriate than the blank badge.
- A negative version of the hand grenade logo. (maybe
missing the pin?)
- An incredibly complex "cast of characters" cover done
by the brilliant Mr. Bolland, similar to the promo poster he did
for Wizard magazine a few years ago.
- A real black and white photo of Grant Morrison standing
over the corpse of King Mob.
Any other suggestions?
How 'bout four different covers
for four different endings?

Hee hee...I have a copy of it.
All of the above theories are fine suggestions, but incorrect.
If my interpretation of the cover is correct, it's fucking
brilliant.

BAJ: Thank God, I was afraid we would see the completely blank
cover. I had this vision of myself going into the comic store,
seeing the white cover, and screaming "Oh my God, it's Zero Hour!!"
And it's a cover that can be interpreted? Brilliant!

Well, as far as interpretation goes, it's not an abstract image or
anything, and I doubt it's intended to provoke subjective response;
but rather than being merely a drawing of the characters or somesuch
thing, it's an image that, if I am correct, has mythological
connotation...
It's great, trust me.
But for the numeral "1". I appreciate that the design motif for
Vol. 3 was to incorporate the issue number somewhere in the cover
art, but in this case I think it's a wee bit overbearing.

Well, I suppose a phoenix (given KM's dreams about fire), the hand
of god, or a dreaming Buddah would be appropriate, though I hope
they include Barbelith in there somewhere. ;-)

The '1' will be a raised middle finger, probably Grant's.

Grant's Hand of Glory, making a second cover appearance?

Alternatively, 'ONE' being an anagram of 'NEO', it might be good ol'
Keanu...
Or Brian Eno, I s'pose.
