Cover of JLA #74--Superman, Wonder Woman, and--hey, where'd he go??

[LadyM]

I was looking at the summary of JLA #74 on DC's site and I noticed that Green Lantern is shown fighting alongside Wonder Woman and Superman on their preview of the cover. Is it just me, or did he get erased from the ACTUAL cover released? I don't have my copy here to check, but it seems to me he wasn't on it.

Here's the art from DC:

I noticed that too. They erased Kyle AND replaced the cool starry sky with a drab sandstorm effect. What gives? DC has been taking quite a few liberties lately with altering covers and I for one don't like it. Maybe that's because I'm an artist and I hate it when other people retouch another artist's finished work. Unless Mahnke authorized the changes.

Maybe it's like in Back to the Future and Kyle is being erased from existence... :D
