I've been thinking of ideas for covers in this vein and may draw a couple. However, I do have one that I wanted to explain here, in case somebody wanted to take it on.

I was thinking of covers like this one: when I thought of this idea.

Don't know the name of the issue one could use (Protective Comics? That would work, as this is a Shell idea, and it makes one think of Detective Comics–and #42, for that added Hitchhiker's Guide reference), but the cover would show a superhero in the air, having just punched the villain into the side of a building, with large chunks of debris falling towards the innocent bystanders below. Shell is in the foreground with his arms crossed and looking indifferent, with someone, maybe a kid or maybe even Hightide (was that the guy's name? I can forget things easily) running up to him and indicating towards the falling building.

Kid/Hightide/whoever: Shell! That super-battle is causing that building to fall on innocent bystanders!

Shell: So?
