Great stuff - and COYC ref!
Plenty of highly talented graphic designers on here who I'm sure could assist you in coming up with the killer cover with a fresh pair of third-party eyes. For starters, I'm sure [MENTION=791]The Albion Roar[/MENTION] could point you in the right direction...
I wouldn't change too much with the first cover, given the option. Just the wording you and others have suggested, and perhaps make the sky a tad darker to give it a little more menace.
