"The Worst Marvel Cover-Art Ever" Award Nominations

[Victor Von Doom]

I was thumbing through my comic book collection, reliving some of my favorite stories when I came across a comic book cover that was just so terrible that I had to nomiate it for The Worst Marvel Cover-Art Ever award. That's right. I belive that terrible art is distracting, no matter how good the story is. Therfore I belive that these artist should be recognized for their ability to make cover art so bad, that people demand money for having seen it.

For now lets get down to the nominations. All you need to tells us is the Comic Book, followed by the issue number, followed by a picture.

To kick this thing off, here's Gambit #15, If I wasn't already subscribed to it, I would have never bought this issue. The cover makes me want to cry. How do you make one of Marvels sexiest characters into that waitress from the little bit o hell diner outside of butt-crack Arkansas? Disgusting.

Spoiler

Picture is pretty big so i spoiler tagged it.

West Coast Avengers 13.

Edit; Superman 600 for DC.

 

[Brainiac 8]

Superman put on some weight for that issue.

 

[WallCrawl]

The Pursuader. Come on.

 

[Victor Von Doom]

My what crappy powers the persuader has. He's basically an underpaid lawyer.

 

[Brainiac 8]

I hated how drab most of Larroca's covers were.

 

[Victor Von Doom]

You know what I don't get is how Larroca's work could turn into this garbage. He did some excellent druing his stride with the fantastic four characters.

 

[CaptainCanada]

It was on about the 50th glance at that X-Men cover that I realized Iceman was on it.

 

[Purple Man]

It took me a good minute to tell Iceman was on there, even after knowing he was on there.

 

[Brainiac 8]

Larocca's art on X-Men was just horrendous, it's probably the worst I have ever seen him do.

Example:

I hated how drab most of Larroca's covers were.

Hey! I LIKE that cover, it was my first x-men issue.

 

[Brainiac 8]

Sorry COMICBOY, hate to bash on your first X-Men cover.

I just hated Larocca on X-Men.

 

[Citizen_Kaine]

*Shudders*

 

[Kevin]

Sorry COMICBOY, hate to bash on your first X-Men cover.

I just hated Larocca on X-Men.

It's kool, I hate Bachalo

 

[Brainiac 8]

and I hate Ronald McDonald.

 

[Kevin]

and I hate Ronald McDonald.

But why?

 

[Brainiac 8]

Didn't you see "It", he turns into a scary clown and eats kids.


I say down with the kid eating clown that lures them with his fast food hamburgers!

 

[Kevin]

lol

 

[Tropico]

Superman 600 for DC.

EWW! His chin looks like it has a navel instead of a dimple. It reminds me of those puppets in the Genesis music videos way back in the 80's.

 

[Phaedrus45]

I think they should never used photos for a comic cover (and, it always seem to be women):

 

[Victor Von Doom]

I don't cate what anybody says. Wolverine looks like a gumba from the mario brothers live aciton flick.

 

[SouLeSS]

Ahahaha. VVD's cover wins.

 

[newmexneon]

Bwahahahah!!!

 

[Phaedrus45]

Not the worst covers ever....but, every time Marvel brings him back to do a cover, a shiver goes down my spine whenever I see it.

 

[Phaedrus45]

West Coast Avengers 13.

It really looks like that one guy is taking a serious dump. And, Mockingbird looks like she having the Big O.
