Lots of hips won't unsway, and how can Squirrel Girl even remotely be comfortable posed like that? And most importantly, OMFG HER FACE.

[sherkahn]

Rabies

[nezchan]

Yeah, it's artfail when Squirrel Girl is scarier looking than THE GUY WITH THE SKULL FACE!

[shadowpsykie]

SQUIRELGIRL SQUIRELGIRL SQUIRELGIRL!

[proteus_lives]

Thanos is her bitch!

[halloweenjack]

Is there even anyone else on the cover besides Doreen and Tippy-Toe? Not that I really give a shit, mind you.

[bwhahahabeck]

DOREEEEEEEEEEEEEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[shale]

Rogers' Angels, Squirrel-Girl AND Taskmaster?

It's good to be alive and a giant nerd.

[foxhack]

Why are they still using that stupid Taskmaster mask?

Why can't they use Udon's old design? That one rocked.

[lieut_kettch]

I agree. Every time I see Tasky in that costume, I have the urge to say, "NYAAAA! HEEEE-MAN!"

[nezchan]

SHUT UP, YOU FURRY FOOL!

[tacobob]

Yeah! The Udon costume looked like something one would actually wear and not be silly. But I guess someone at Marvel demanded the Skullface with pirate boots look back, so return it did.

[sleepymax]

Man, I never knew till recently, that so many preferred that Udon costume over the classic. I could never get behind the Udon costume myself.

[terrykun]

Taskmaster is SOOO happy to be on that cover.

:) If we're seeing him, hopefully that means we'll see Frank back too! *shoves him towards Diamondback*

Yay, "Steve's Angels".

In summary - OUT-RA-GEOUS!

[sinisterlink]

"If we're seeing him, hopefully that means we'll see Frank back too! *shoves him towards Diamondback*"

Oh, I hope so. The issue of the Initiative that came out today made me so sad. I was like, "Nooooooo...Frank, come back! She said she loves you! You are so stupid! lol."

[ninjapeps]

he looks like he's thinking "ohmygodohmygodohmygod, I'm the cover! this is the happiest moment of my life!"

[nezchan]

If he had eyebrows, he'd be wiggling them.

[tammy_moore]

I honestly spent a minute staring at that and trying to work out why Emma had dumped the X-Men and taken up carrying a gun.

'Oh god, Hope sucks out Emma's powers and becomes Jean and starts dating her adoptive dad's dad and Emma does a reverse Storm and covers up a little and starts shooting people.'

[valtyr]

I would read a book devoted to Emma shooting people.

[grimmbear]

There are just NOT enough bullets to make that worth reading. Emma has so much cleaning up to do in the X-universe.

[skalja]

Is there anyone else who's a bit wary of the whole "Steve's Angels" thing? I mean, as a throwaway joke, sure, it's funny, but these are three powerful women in their own right and I want the story to treat them as such rather than linking their importance to a man.

[phosfate]

I'm know I'm icked out.

[skalja]

Thank god, I was worried I might be alone, motto or no motto. :)

[stolisomancer.insanejournal.com]

It looks like Kelly Sue DeConnick's writing that one, if you can link the order in which the creators appear to the order in which the story blurbs appear in the copy, so you probably have nothing to worry about.

That said, "Steve's Angels" appears to be a fan nickname.

[skalja]

Really? I could swear I remember a writer calling them that in some interview, though I no longer recall whom. Well, hopefully I'm just misremembering.

[comicoz]

Happy to see Blue Marvel again. I really enjoyed that mini, even if it was very Sentry-like at the end.

[skalja]

Yeah, ditto.

[endis_ni]

If they do anything angst-causing to Squirrel Girl, you may all wish to take cover for when I find out.

[halloweenjack]

Fuck that. I'm on that revenge squad, getting your back.

[mullon]

Taskmaster is confused as to why he is there, and hoping no one will notice.

[sun_man]

Finally Blue Marvel is back

[geoffsebesta]

That cover is godawful ugly but Paquette knows how to trace knees real good.

That's the nicest thing I can think of to say about it. The artists should be ashamed for turning this in. I know they got paid and all, but there is nothing good about this.

Ty Templeton is doing pencils on this? I'm In! I'M IN!!
