      Holy God, these are bad. Usually, when Marvel decides to do a company wide variant theme, they end up being fun and interesting. These are just horrible.

      And what’s going on with Rogue’s man hands? Bleh.

      Looks like war machine’s playing a custom strat, not the jaguar the quote indicates. The pickguard could be from a jaguar but the body and lack of pickup switches definitely indicates otherwise.

      Sheesh, marvel!

      I adore the Rogue cover (man hands? that’s low, Josh! though perhaps it’s actually a parody on The Crying Game ;) ). However War Machine a Nirvana fan? Nah, I’m not buying that – would have worked better with someone like Penance or Trauma (from the Initiative).
