It's a very effective image, and better than a bad photoshop job. I don’t know why they didn’t use the cover for the old collection of the body and the footprints.

A couple of years ago, when they were doing A History of Violence, you'd have had to put a gun to someone's head to get anyone to admit that the source material was a comic book. Clearly that's not the case anymore. Of course the bad luck is that the teaser-poster came out just as we released a new edition of the book with a different cover, but that certainly didn't stop people from picking the book up at Comic-con.

If this were all I saw, I wouldn't touch the movie with a fifty-foot pole. Her face looks like it was photoshopped on, and that catchphrase is enough to make me gag. This... Is horrible.

This should be a fun flick. Given the amount of money Frank Miller has generated in hollywood lately, copying his cover only makes sense. Or at least what passes for it at a movie studio.

Also, her face is slightly pornish. Why is a woman in a HUGE parka making a seductive surprise face in a whiteout? Regardless, I liked the book and think the movie has a lot of potential.

I understand they're trying to mirror the Frank Miller cover for the collection, but poses that work in comics don't work in real life. Also, the cut n' paste job on her face looks bad too. It's a little too small. I'm still looking forward to the movie, but this poster just looks like a rush job. That looks awful.
