The covers being done so far in advance is the kind of thing you shouldn’t *have* to think about.

I don’t think covers that don’t depict an exact scene from the story inside are that unique to Young Justice. So many covers these days are “pin-up” shots that just make the hero or a villain look cool. But even the ones depict an actual scene often dramatize the central conflict of the story rather than literally depicting a scene from that story. When I started reading comics that kind of thing was the most common kind of cover – and you occasionally even had DIALOG BALLOONS on the cover. You hardly EVER see THAT anymore…
