Keep Devil Dino as the new cover please.
Also Miles Spider-Man too I guess.
And maybe Gwen? I like both.

    I like that they're mixing things up a little but I'm only counting 5 covers. Too bad there is not more. I also feel like they missed some other natural choices like Doom, Beast, Banner, Tony Stark, Reed Richards, Peter Parker. I think all of them are scientists.

    No, STEAM stands for Science, Tech, Engineering, Art, Math. He wasn't saying it's only on steam.

    Not steam, STEAM.

    Now that doesn't look like a word anymore.

    STEAM!

    Devil Dino cover is great. That series has great covers in general.

    I like the Champions cover as a Champions cover, not so much as a Cho spotlight.

    Miles is good art but again, not great for the game.

    Gwen's is great.

    Invincible Iron Man #1 looks really good, but.....maybe for a 4* Ironheart? Since she's on the cover and Tony isn't?

    I'm guessing they limited it to 5 to line up with the 5 areas of STEAM:

    S - cience... Dino
    T - echnology... Miles
    E - ngineering... Iron Man
    A - rt... Cho
    M - ath... Gwenpool

    Albeit the STE are relatively interchangeable

    I very much would buy the Champions number with that cover. Moon Girl and Devil Dino too.

    I wonder if that's why they never used the new iron man suit as a character. The only member of the ANAD Avengers to not get into the game.

    Though I look forward to Iron Man (Infamous)...hopefully they'll make one and make him good.

    DIVERSITY : FTW!!!!

    I am SO PROUD of Marvel for these. And my students went crazy, when they saw these variants.

    Kudos! :+D

    I'm super confused as to what this is??? Are we getting 5 new variant characters? Or is this just some cross promotion that really adds nothing to the game. The announcement message was very unclear.

    They do variant covers all the time. Every Women's Month, The cosplay covers, etc..

    It's a weak cross promotion that adds nothing to the game. Every now and then they use some variants from whatever thing Marvel is promoting. Usually it means nothing, though one promo was for Women of Marvel variants and it caused a few covers to get changed. Which sadly lead to the single Kirby cover the game had being replaced.

    I mean, I'm not an expert, but I'd guess the character with an ability called "See the Math of It" isn't there for the A part of the acronym.

    I feel like I am the only player that does not like any of the STEAM covers.

    None of them stand out to me, but I think Cho's is terrible.

    They purposely chose young heroes to appear on those covers. They want to influence my kids. But I know I can convince them to better take real careers like Homeopathy.

    Young characters? What about x23, iceman, jean grey, kate bishop, spider gwen, classic spidey, classic torch, squirrel girl or sam alexander and kamala khan getting their own covers? I just think having less tha 5% of characters with variant covers means there might be players that won't see or notice these if they somehow missed the one time pop up message.

    I do realize the last 2 are on Cho's cover.
