    my suggestion is that everyone get super upset about this temporary, cute, halloween themed idea.

    Brisashi, I'd like you to meet the Internet. Internet, this is Brisashi.

    I'd be just fine with this cosplay cover!

    Their Iron man cover was good but they really should have went with this -

    It's a shame there's no cover for the NYCC Hulkbuster, that was amazing.

    Dude, I googled for that and was not disappointed. That was quite a feat.

    FWIW, all of the comic covers were taken by a photographer that works for Marvel. And from what I can tell, these variants had release announcements in August meaning the printed covers have been set for at least that long (not sure if the Hulkbuster costume was at any earlier conventions where Stephens was doing her thing). Those factors do limit the pool a bit.

    There's some pretty decent Jean Grey, 4* Thor, and especially that Ms. Marvel (Kamala Khan) one that they could have included.

    That Daredevil one, though... what's up with his squinty face? Maybe that mask style just doesn't translate well.

    That's not to say none of the men cosplay well. The Nova one is quite good, but he's not in the game.

    Yeah, it's not good by any means, but not all that much worse than the mask from the Netflix show.

    They should have used Garrett Morris for the Ant-Man one. (He said, showing his age....)

    The ones in the game are the ones that have/are retailing very soon. We were kindly asked to hold off on adding the rest.

    This is a nice gesture of Marvel to their fans. They could have hired some of those super pro cosplayers, provide them with movie-quality costumes, make a professional photo-shoot with all the bells and whistles and then add liberal doses of Photoshop and get some really classy and cool looking covers. But they decided to honour the real people that are passionate enough to put themselves on the spot at conventions and gatherings. That's actually really nice.

    Nice little detail, I didn't notice it for some time until I was rewarded a cosplay cover after a match, which made me go "???". But I agree with the comment that they could've used some better quality pictures. Also, I noticed a Dr. Strange cosplay cover on the link Malcrof posted -- wouldn't it be cool if he was released as a Halloween Surprise? Ah, one can always hope icon_mrgreen.gif

    That might partially be the version of the game? My first impression was not that favorable, but when I saw them on my alt-account, they looked a lot better. Lower resolution on my smartphone instead of PC, maybe?

    I thought it was a nice surprise - excellent timing around Halloween. How about a Halloween event where winning a PvP match with one of the cosplay'd characters on your team earns a chance at a Trick or Treat token as a reward?

    google Lana Le Psylocke, you will not be disappointed.
