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).

Any covers you feel could seriously use an update?

    I don't like the R&G one, the over-detailed coloring bothers me.

    I also don't like the covers by any of the Gregs (Horn and Land).

    I'd like this for Captain Marvel

    I kinda want Vision's cover updating too

    Saw this for Invisible woman and I think it's the best cover I've seen for her.

    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

    Everything else I'm okay with.

    I love Scottie Young. We need a Scottie Young Varient Month or something, just change everything to his stuff.

    And why? There's nothing in common.

    For OML I'd prefer this one:

    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.

    Posted this in the other topic, but here's a short list of artwork I'd like to see in-game:

    My personal favourite is this one for Captain Marvel - basically because it's what Hypersonic Punch should look like:

    A cosplay cover month would be awesome if they used good cosplayers this time around. The last ones were meh.

    And I third the call for a Skottie Young cover month.

    The only cover I REALLY want changes is Scarlet Witch's, only because her cover doesn't match her game artwork and that really goshdarn bothers me.

    But I'm also like, ARE there Scarlet Witch covers that have her movie-outfit?

    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.

    I think Dr. Doom, Cyclops (3-star), and Star-Lord could use new covers.

    Also wouldn't mind if for future X-Men characters if they stopped using X-Men #1's cover, even though it is an awesome cover.

    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.

    Original Black Widow needs a new cover, that art never really worked for me and she's barely in it.

    I like the doom cover, but if you got to replace it....

    They'd have to change the in-game art, too. Which is a shame, his main pose looks like a younger Jack Nicholson, and it makes me grin.

    Hahah, that's true.

    I'd definitely prefer more "full body" shots on the covers, less "extreme close-up on the head/face" shots. Professor X, Juggernaut, Kingpin are all proudly showing off their "chrome domes", and poor Jean goes from "brooding fire eyes" to just a giant eyeball.
