This cover is horrible, and anyone who says otherwise is a liar!

Thanks! 

This is pretty much my go-to when someone says "horrible cover"....

Just a whole lotta bleh.

Funny. I found one of these today. I would have just laughed and passed it, however it was a DC Universe Logo Variant that was previously undiscovered. I had to pick it up.20200715_180505.thumb.jpg.cecb0d0bcec72c5cff4df59a4975c5d6.jpg

It's awful isn't it.

 

I don’t think it’s that bad.

She’s possibly ‘double-jointed‘, though.

I thought all of Ditko's late 70s/early 80s stuff was awful, especially his Captain Universe stuff. I had no idea at the time he had been the original Spider-Man artist and it shocked me later to see that work and how it compared to this later stuff, which always seemed rushed and stinky.

These two would be my picks. :sick: Not sure what they intended for Deadpool but it didn't work. :sick:  And I know what they intended for the X-Men but it didn't work. :sick:

This is a real comic book cover? I assumed it was some sort of spoof. Fugly.

IIRC, it's supposed to be a homage to a record cover and group.

It's still pants, though.

Same. Those are the two worst.

What the heck!???  Somebody didn't even try.  Is this where McFarlane learned about feet?

I don't know reality can be worse.  There are plenty of tingers and foes out there and then there is this..20200729_041121.thumb.jpg.f9cddc0c544f6c796f3297d17204c380.jpg

Run The Jewels 2 - hip hop duo album

That Deadpool cover was so bad when it came out in 2015, I had to Google what was going on.  The actual answer isn't much better than "some ten-year-old slipped his drawing into Marvel's production art".

The problem with both these hip-hop covers is not remotely related to the album covers they are tributes to. That X-Men cover would be fine using the poses from the Grandmaster Flash album; it is awful because the faces of the X-Men are drawn like withered crones. Likewise, that Deadpool cover does an admirable job recreating the hands from Run the Jewels 2. The problem is... um, literally everything else, but especially Deadpool's head, which looks like someone took one of those "How to Draw Characters" books and stopped at "Step 1: Draw an oval."

I can't work the bed out. It's like an Escher drawing. Why are the pillows at the feet,not at the headboard?

Spidey's wearing a muscle-suit underneath. He's padded for your protection, baby. 

That or he's retaining fluid. Somebody give the poor boy some Lasix.
