It seems particularly unlikely that anyone would impulse buy something at the Omnibus size/price point, based solely on the cover, having no familiarity with the material inside. And if they did, they would likely come away very disappointed, if their rationale was such as your hypothetical example.

I can understand using a new artist and doing a homage when the original artists are no longer with us or available (such as in the Thor example you cited). I'm just curious why the original artists aren't generally approached for assignments like this when they are available. I mean, is there anyone here who wouldn't rather have a new cover by Starlin, Zeck, or Gulacy on this book?
