OK, sounds good thus far.

Then I'll write: But that was until Donovan came along. Donovan, evil, misogynistic, uber violent caused the IWS to rise up to meet his gigantic evil with its own ferocity. I'll explain how he's mercilessly stealing the dogs. Then I'll have the first scene.

Just remember (yes, I know, this ain't the "how to write a book" thread), don't do too much info-dumping.

That way readers will be prepped for the violence and also know that the tone of the whole book will be silly. And they'll know the violence, although very violent, will be cartoonish as well.
Whatcha guys think? Of the cover and of having a new first scene as described?
Oh and I'm doing the title as Rise. The subtitle will be: Ascent of the Animal Rescue Feminists.
Uber thanks.

OK, so, James, I like many things about this new cover. The blue's GOTTA GO. It makes my eyes start bleeding, up against that red. You may have to stick to white, or even pink with a black border, or soemthing. Experiment with colors that don't make us cringe, please. I am okay with the yellow title; I'm okay, albeit not wild, about the font choice.
I am confused, tho, about why the animals are sideways????
