[sherkahn]

As previewed earlier this week, the ESPN / Marvel cross over is here. ESPN has the entire NBA squads in Marvel covers. Some highlights under the cut.


Warning! Big images!



Now THAT stings....



Explains a lot....



Uhm... ok.



Sorry, boys, the shield of Captain America is not for you.
You ain't Steve. Heck, you aren't even James.
As in Worthy.



We can build it better..... faster.... stronger....

For legality.... Doom may or may not be talking about basketball coaching philosophies.

You do know that you can do your own tags now.

Kobe- the Iron Rapist.

.... why don't they throw in Shaq already?

[icon_uk]

His DC licence is still running?

[thokstar]

Because Shaq hasn't been relevant in the NBA for a couple of seasons now. He's no longer in shape, can't play defense, and you have to run the offense through him and neglect the rest of your players to use him.

You are a wicked person for making me laugh like that in front of my unsuspecting roommates.

Admittedly, those are some pretty awesome covers.

As a non-American, they mean bugger all to me.

They lose a lot of impact on Canadians who aren't into sports, too. I have no idea who any of these guys are, outside of Kobe. And I only know him through his famous indiscretions.

I'm American and I don't know what half of them mean either
:p

[auggie18]

With you there. No clue...

[darklorelei]

They can't come up with a more recent Pistons reference than the Bad Boys? Really?

That said, that one IS pretty great. (Are their heads supposed to evoke Robocop? Because that's an extra layer of awesome if so.)

[crinos]

Hey, its a Red Bull!

Chen's piece is pretty good. Deodato's is quite subpar. Romita's just a master but I think he phoned it in a little on the garbage can.

They also did Kobe with the Infinity Gauntlet.

I wanted the Heat to be Dark Phoenix like this;

That would have been so cool...

Oh well.

As much as I want ESPN out of my Marvel, I'll admit the Doom-bots one made me laugh.
