December 18, 2008 11:00 pm i have one question with this issue. does this come before or after the secret invasion tie-in that had osborn skewering the swordsman? or afterwards.

December 15, 2008 11:26 pm Francesco Matt Mattina would drawn this great cover has done some great covers for Nova as well, he is an artist I'd like to see take a crack at a book.

December 2, 2008 10:01 am @TNC: Would you happen to know which series in which 'Wild Hunt' was mentioned, I'd like to check it out along with re-reading 'Darkness Calls" in anticipation for this story arc.

December 2, 2008 9:49 am I just hope the background of the faded west coast avengers, makes it through the printing.  I was quite impressed with those details.

 I cannot deny the awesomeness of the Colbert variant cover.

People will always be disturbed or offended by certain things, it is a fact of life.  But, people will push the line to sell merchandise.  So, we have two things that will never stop.  

 The easiest solution is to ask the local comic shop owner to move the violent variant covers to the MAX or adult section of the shop so your passing by child won't catch a view.  

When dealing with issues like this I prefer to keep quiet and not purchase said item (personally I have nothing against the cover) because writing an article will just give the item more press and make more people want it. If you just don't buy the comic, the studio making in the case Marvel will stop doing zombie variants because they aren't making enough money and they start making other variants...maybe turning their characters into monkeys (like that turned out well).

To conclude covers like this will always exist, but all protesting does is let more people know about the material.  And in many cases the material you were attempting to protest makes more money because of it.  So boycott silently, then it will actually affect sales.
