The guy on the cover reminds me of the guy that is doing the lantern series right now. And yeah the story looks interesting. It make me wonder if all of the contestants were humans at the beginning cuz I don't know. Maybe some of them came from other races or planets. It was very sci-fi in my opinion.

But looking at it and reading your article made me realize they're all humans but also quite interesting us. It seems they come from different culture, and countries.
