    They want to be in time for Halloween… next year

    I am echoing this question. The zombie covers are unbelievably ugly.

    Please answer and I’ll name my 22nd child after you.

    Maybe when you throw out the leftover turkey? That’s kind of undead after a few days.

    So, like 2 more weeks-ish.

    Looks like I'm one of the few that's really enjoying having different covers for a while.

    I hope they give us Xmas covers, with Santa Annihilus

    I can relate, found it was a nice change for a week or two (change is good), but after the novelty effect I find it just depressing pictures.

    The world is depressing enough without constantly being rewarded with pictures of rotting corpses.

    Like there’s a reason everyone takes down their Halloween decorations soon after 10/31.

    I'm with ya. I'm still seeing ones for the first time every couple of days(blame ascension).

    Lets be honest, the real reason you hate them is because you have to reload the files every time between the new ones and old ones :p

    I particularly like the Daken one. I think they are great, I wish there was someway you could choose to keep covers that they have changed to. Maybe with the new engine.

    IDK what you mean about reloading files but a couple are ok, I guess, as standard covers. The Daken one would be ok. Also the 3loki and 3Deadpool. But the disparity between the one you get and ascended copies is kind of weird. Also for some of them, the image is hard to discern which character it is since it's from a different comic and the character isn't as clearly identifiable as a rotted corpse.

    I just am getting a bit annoyed by some of them. I do like swapped covers so more of them with different themes etc would be ok with me.

    Use whatever cover ya want, make'em pattern swatches, I don't care, just make all copies of a character have the _same _ flippin' cover :D

    [would insert screen snips of examples of mismatched covers, but am on wrong device, apologies]

    For the record; I don’t hate the zombie covers.

    I’m just tired of them if we’re not getting actual zombie playable characters.

    They were great in October. It's almost Thanksgiving and they make me lose my appetite.

    I honest to goodness hate them. I don't like Zombies, they squick me out. I was willing to put up with it for a few weeks but this is awful. Some of these covers actually kind of need a trigger warning - the Cable one comes to mind.

    I really need them to change these covers back or I'm honest to goodness going to stop playing, or at least stop opening covers.

    Glad someone made this thread I was about too. It's almost December aka Christmas turn the covers back already to normal

    Yeah, it's crazy that it is Nov 26 and we still have them. And you're right, that Cable one is dreadful. I hate them and am so ready for them to be gone.

    I'll be ridiculously optmistic and suggest that, after this holiday week, they will flip covers for a xmas, new year's, yule, hanukkah, kwanzaa, saturnalia, epiphany, boxing day set of covers.

    Rival Grocket looks kinda christmas-y.
