This. It's been common with these Japanese releases. The Amazon "placeholder" is in fact a cover by Alex Milne.

You have not? villagebooks does it all the time in their Twitter announcements. I even see this advertising technique for translated books on Amazon USA.

I've never seen full-colour "placeholder" art for these sorts of things before (they're usually just the standard, Amazon-style "blank" image).

The art is amazing. I bet a lot of Japanese fans are gonna be pissed at IDW\'s interpretation of Star Saber though. I\'m not even Japanese, and I know I was upset with that gabage.

God, If I could make a Sistine Chapel out of nothing but the Japanese MTMTE covers, I would.
