I really appreciate that wolverine isn't actually a wolverine.
Eh? That looks like a bill. He's a crow or something.

Yeah, he isn't a Wolverine.
Oh ISN'T lmao I read it as IS. I dumb
You hyped up for this Wednesday? Both Avengers books are ending with giant-sized issues.
and then Secret Wars 0 on Free Comic Book Day this Saturday!
Cool story-this is the local movie theater in my town-it's old times, one screen, etc. But it's clean, cheap and is a pure experience. When they have a hit movie, there are literal lines around the block, because they don't have a giant lobby like most big theaters.
They also own the comic book store next door. I was talking to the comic book store manager and this weekend they are going to be showing Avengers: Age of Ultron in the theater on opening weekend and having Free Comic Book Day right next door. It's going to be crazy packed.

Always been a fan of that design. Shame they never did shit with the character.

Meh, he's done way better. Has a water colour look I don't appreciate. I think I enjoy his more grounded but still corny images.
Never heard of this Brute before. The only Marvel Brute I know is Henry McCoy.

I'm less worried about Spider-Man's cape and more concerned with Colossus sporting a goatee. That IS Colossus, right?

I don't live close enough to drive there for FCBD (I live about two hours away), I just know it from some family in the area. Sounds like you'll have a blast, though!
thats the mascot from crazy magazine
I like how he and Teen Hulk made it onto Alex Ross covers.

Nice to finally see Alex Ross change it up. I love his work, but I grew frustrated with his insistence on refusing to draw/paint DC's characters with their up to date looks.

Who is spider Cape?he looks great
he did that?
lol, respect, Mr. Ross. *fistbump*
classic looks are classic. like they'll be worth looking at years from now. The stuff today is temporal and they know it. HE knows it.
I could see him doing a Thomas Wayne Batman though. That's original enough, but I don't see him doing a new052 Supes and I understand why, I think.

Alex Ross is amazing. His series of JSA covers were so good.

Is that The Great One with a cape? Looks slick!

Oh I agree, I can respect his opinion to a degree on the subject, but he had been with DC so long and had done sooo much Silver Age paintings that I wanted him to change it up. He has been very vocal about his disdain of changes to established characters, no matter how small. He was a bit of a hypocrite too, with the temporary suit changes in the "JUSTICE" mini series.
No, he was just an arrogant asshole with a hardon for the silver age who thought his designs were better than any modern design.

eh, they've done fake out covers with him on it before, and he wasn't anywhere to be found.
they may be using him as a stand in for "the" beyonders on the cover.

The story could be fluff but it's worth it if Alex Ross isn't always illustrating the 'iconic' versions of characters.
Composition-wise the Earth/Universe/Paradise X covers are arguably superior.

That was supposed to be the beyonder? I thought that was maximus
Manmademan

he WAS. Secret Wars was 15 years ago in marvel time, and Beyonder has evolved several times since then.
Beyonder and Molecule Man merged into Kosmos, which later became "the maker", which died during annihilation and was reborn somewhere else we haven't seen yet.

Child unit just means he'll be an underdog among Beyonders when he shows up. He can still easily fuck shit up.

Pretty sure that's maximus the mad.
Manmademan

its not. There was an interview somewhere where it was confirmed it was beyonder, not maximus.
On top of that, it's a clear reference to Hank Pym going on his cross dimensional journey and encountering the Beyonders/Ivory Kings.

What I thought at first too, but when that issue came out that no longer made sense. That issue is about Hank Pym discovering The Beyonders. I don't think Maximus was even in it, nor have the two interacted in the series so far.
And the guy with the blindfold is Matt Murdock, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., from one of the earliest issues of What If?
