    Pretty sure a playable Gorgon would be one of the worst 4* in the game, these days.

    Looking into it, yeah.

    Next 4-star is undeniably Silver Samurai. It fits the quote, and many of the variant comics are of him. The few that aren't him are Omega Red, either covers featuring him or are of issues significant to him.

    Its undeniably gonna be these two. Silver Samurai 4-star, Omega Red 3/5-star. Which is gonna be exciting!

    There seem to be a lot of x-force covers too. Was omega red ever part of x- force? 5 star classic and 3 star x-force?

    Is that Luke Cage cover an intentional homage to Frank Miller or did the artist just spill some yellow paint?

    Where are you people seeing these variant covers, just randomly opening covers and noticing? Also, as much as I love silver samurai and don't want him to be a 4*, he's definitely second choice for 5 if omega red is up in the air lol.

    Well I just opened up my roster and scrolled - I can pick out new covers fairly quickly. 🙂

    I'm sorry to inform y'all that you're overthinking this.

    I heard that MPQ lost the license on some comic cover images. Rather than spend the money to renew it, they got some bargain bin covers to replace them.

    However, if you want the old covers back, they are negotiating with Disney to allow us to buy covers for characters, like costumes.

    I'm excited to see what happens. As of now, this is a rumor and completely made up by me.

    They've issued them all as NFTs so only one person can use them at a time. I've heard they're working on a way to allow them to be shared within Alliances but I've just joined a buy-club with Mega Kevin Bacon to get all the symbiote covers in existence for 18 Zargles and an out of date bag of peanuts. That way I can sell on Symbiote Big Bertha when she's released last August.

    Kitty & Apoc are amongst my highest 5s so I spotted the new covers straight away when going to my roster and then the thread here filled things out.

    With all this Omega Red talk I think it might be time again to remind everybody of that occasion when Rogue smacked him upside his head with a bear. 😎😎😎😎

    Why don't they just ask us to draw the covers and save some money? I can spill paint in a nearly makes a superhero shape way. Same way they ask us to beta test the game and find the bugs!*

    *That was extra mean for a Sunday, sorry Devs.

    Check a discussion here called "New comic covers". They've listed all the characters that got swapped out with new ones.

    Mod note: Merged an off-topic discussion regarding the change in comic covers from the Venomsaurus Rex thread. As a result, there is some slight incoherence with the thread discussion but hopefully nothing too confusing. Please try to keep discussions on topic. Thank you.

    It’s to increase the cache size of stored covers. If I was them I would rotate them constantly.

    okay cool. I think I'd be a bit sad if Rogue just grabbed a random bear and hit someone with it
