Worse comic covers than what they had for Daken?

20three

Good grief, that cover was horrifically awful and it was one of the best updates they had when they changed it.



But hypothetically speaking, what could have been some worse covers that they could have used for characters in the game?

Basically anything by Rob Liefeld is a given, but what else?

I liked his early stuff with X-Force, it was different at the time. Shortly after that I stopped reading comics, so I'm not too familiar with his career after that.

I'm not sure who this would be a worse cover for: Moonstone for the costume, or Hulk for being beaten up by Bagstone (Moonbag?)

He's a bad artist. Seriously.

I don't see what's wrong with these covers.

Thor has a 3 wolf moon thing going on,

there's some spideybutt for the ladies

Daken is feeling the purple, I mean, blood rain

PS: Eschergirls is gold for this type of thing

He really isn't. Any criticism people have (draws things the same, weird proportions, inconsistency in details) is basically things people used to say about Jack Kirby. The popular opinion of Liefeld will be pretty different in 20 years when people who are ashamed of buying five or more poly-bagged copies of X-Force #1 no longer dominate the comics-Internet world.

I simply don't remember most bad covers, more of bad iterations... Capwolf anyone?


I wouldn't use any cover with the character getting beaten up though.

.........the current Daken cover is literally one of the ugliest things I have ever seen. Those wide underoos look like something one of my Kinder kids drew.

John Byrne was awesome in his visuals and writing. Still a big fan of his stuff.

For those wishing to continue to debate Rob Liefeld's place in the halls of comic book history, please do so here: viewtopic.php?f=15&t=30764

I am aware the OP kickstarted the discussion but in order to keep the spirit of the thread focused on bad comic book covers and less on Rob Liefeld, I decided it was best to split the thread. In other words, more bad covers please!

And for the record, i actually prefer the old Daken cover. To each his own i guess. (￣(ｴ)￣)y-ﾟﾟﾟ

Me too, if only because the new cover is even worse than the old one

I don't have anything particular in mind, but I think the 90's Marvel comic covers are a truckload of ****. I hate all the art both inside & out from pretty much everything they did then. Here's a pretty good example:

I always loved that cover, it was so iconic. Truly one of the X-Men's most famous covers! Bryne and Claremont, oh that was a great run!

I know there is a Liefeld moratorium in this thread... But why is there a random face on Cap's thigh?

at least DC Comics tried this before Rachel Dolezal was born.

I'm not even gonna say anything cuz the mods are watching......

I actually liked that Daken cover. He is pretty much bathed in blood and enjoying it, he released his rage and is now in a tranquil state, quite fitting for the son of Wolverine, very realistic drawing.

Now the current one is pretty terrible.

Also, why Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch and Vision have covers from the 60s but modern character models?
