The women of power event has given us some new alternate covers to look at and it got me wondering about some other characters that could benefit from something new. While I certainly respect using some of the old classic covers like original spiderman and quicksilver, I do prefer modern artwork and imagery.
An example I have for a different artstyle for an existing character, Doc Ock (yes I know this is a movie poster and not a comic cover, it’s just an example).
Psylocke I’d just like seeing given an art update. Her hair always looked really greasy to me.
I’d like Iron Man to get a visual update, too. His armour looks too dull, needs more shine. Also need some of this bad-boy in the game
I think that thematic changes should happen more frequently, and I’d love to have a “classic” month (with artwork by artists active in the sixties/seventies era: ditko, steranko, kirby, etc.; of course, this couldn’t apply to all characters, but that’s how variant covers work already).
Since the new alternate covers are just of the new ones on sale now I’d like to see them change all covers over to newer ones or ones they are in,as about 70% of ingame characters have there own comic.
Yeah no one cares about the covers of comic books in a comic book themed game. Let’s just take out all the art, animations, and sound…
But for real. Last year they kept a few of the variants as permanent I think, so I hope they at least keep Scarlett witch’s cause that one is awesome, though I do enjoy the old school one as well.
God yes, please change that Doc Ock cover. Whomever thought that he should go from pudgy, fashion-senseless middle-aged man to leather-clad, slick-haired hipster doesn’t understand the character at all.
