Bloody hell that Captain America looks terrible. On the other hand look how the X-Men are left out (Remember when X-Men where the outcast of the Mervel Universe) and no FF too.

That Hulk picture reminds me of my favorite comic panel ever (after "not enough gun" from Preacher):

Friend dying of AIDS is attacked by gay bashers. They don't realize what they unleashed.
 
Seeing as National Bullying Prevention Month is coming up, Marvel is celebrating by releasing variant covers honoring the month featuring Star-Lord, Gamora, Rocket & Groot, Captain America, & Hulk. Also, lol at the Star-Lord cover. The Inhumans will also be getting a cover, but it wasn't officially revealed, yet.

All great except this one. Art is bad and apparently the artist thinks kids who emulate black culture are the ideal representation for bullies.

I don't know what school you went to, but that's usually what those kids used to dress like when I was in school.

So that kid is supposed to be Banner and Hulk is a visual personification of his rage in the viewer's eye, but not physically there in the setting.

That makes more sense. I thought it was just some random kid Hulk was patting on the head comforting.

These are fantastic. If anything it should help bullied kids feel they're not alone and that eventually things can be better.

The artwork on all of these are great.

This is obviously a move to get attention from the potential mainstream. Marvel is not gonna give Sony free promotion

Spidey is still Marvels most important and best known charachter, so they were pretty stupid to shot themself in the foot.

Also, they get tons of money from the Merchendise.

So... No.

I like these because they're really kind of avoiding the misleading "bully" stereotype. A lot of stuff portrays a typical "bully", some large, menacing punk kid when really, a lot of bullying done by groups of otherwise normal kids who just decide to exclude and torment one kid.

Spider-Man hasn't been the face of Marvel for years. That honor now belongs to Iron Man.

come on man. A Pink Polo, Dog tags, a livestrong band, a flannel shirt tied around his waist. A fitted with both stickers still on it like its 2010? That kid is trying way to hard even for a teenager and he's wearing a ton of random stuff that don't go together.

Where's his Beatz and plur beads? they might as well have added those too to really get across that he is a teenager.....
 
well spiderman already did this with that scene with the kid in amazing spiderman 2 (probably the only great scene in the film, i loved it)
