For a buck, you can pick up some extra copies to hand out to friends, right?

Manga Variants...Awesome!

That smile on Cap's face... XD

I'm sure a lot of people were expecting the worst with these manga covers. These are rad though!

That Iron Man suit looks like a maternity dress.

Yusuke Murata drawing Spidey?!?! YES!

Cap has an... interesting slasher smile on his face, it would appear.

They are great, hope the other will be reveal soon.

Or better the annonce of one shot by japanesse artist that will be interesting if they are free to do what they want.

You do know that She-Hulk can get beaten by villains. Right?

i was making fun of people who made similar complaints about a certain Batgirl cover

@amazingwebhead: and you're being purposfully obtuse about the context that Batgirl cover existed in both the overall variant line and the history of the character.

Spider-family is getting pretty big.

@mrmazz: everybody's a critic...

I love you g_man. Keep up the good work.

So . . . Mangaverse series for "Secret Wars"?

@chayse: Nope but it'd be nice!!! I was just saying I want more Mangaverse, it was very well done and I'd loe a revamped updated version

If is do by great japanesse artist, that will be great!

Dope.

I never buy variant covers, but I completely support the idea of them. These two look great.

Liking the Spidey cover, looking forward to seeing others especially the Ms Marvel one

@ramior: I was being facetious, but I just realised that another Mangaverse revival could actually be awesome to my taste if Bryan Lee O'Malley got involved.

Cool

Manga artist drawing Marvel variants? I'm intrigued. I'm curious which ones will be drawing them. I'm real curious to see how Old Man Logan, Spider-Island, Planet Hulk & Thors will look like.

Lol, IKR; Looks like a psycho with the way his eyes look, like - 'Yea, Imma throw this SHIELD up ya ASS!' XD

I wish I get to see more of Manga-Verse.. those were fun

@amazingwebhead: what complaints about which Batgirl cover?

Ehh, Yusuke's cover really isn't as good as it could be.

Can't wait to see the Groot variant.

Nice

Sorry guys, I think it sucks

@artistshot said:

No need to feel sorry. The artist (can't call him mangaka here) should be tho.

Why ?

Plus this Iron Man is really good, the best of the four.

Ya, Iron Man's legs look really really awkward to say the least

Why this cover sucks?
"Like a maternity dress" isn't meant to be positive that's why. It's quite difficult to think of anything positive about it. Well, the painting technique I do like (a lot, actually) but the actual image... I don't feel it.

Why I can't call him mangaka (talking about this cover)?
This variant is not what I would consider a master piece of manga art then.

However, you have all the right in the world to think otherwise. That's the best thing about comics really: There's something for each and every one of us. Very often there's love and hate when talking about the very same comic, or cover.

For the mangaka part, but I understand why people will dislike this cover.
