Title: Promotional Covers from Marvel
Post by: Gevth on May 12, 2011, 02:46PM
I was checking IGN today and stumbled upon these:

I loved the Captain America ones, but I'm guessing the X-Men ones will be more popular around here.

I love them, kind of silly to give Hope one since she's barely been around.

Seen the X-Men covers on cbr. The Jean one is my fav (best costume choices and artwork), so its good that I am already collecting the Avengers. I also love the Beast, Magneto, Storm, Havok, Angel, and Sabretooth ones.
The Rogue one is nice but her face kinda looks manish. Wolverine has too much yellow and blue, the Emma art is nice but the costumes all look the same, and the Iceman art looks weird for a comic imo.
I'm guessing they included Hope because of her big role in X-Men comics these days. The separation of Jean and Hope makes me even more certain that they are not the same but Hope is likely the offspring of the Phoenix (in other words, Jean's daughter)

Here is a Kitty Pryde one btw that isn't included on the ign page.

I'd actually prefer if Hope was Jean herself. It would be a great plot twist and would be better than having yet another grey offspring or permutation. I mean, Cable is kind of a messiah when it comes to Apocalypse, Hope when it comes to the survival of mutants, Nate was for AoA Apocalypse, Rachel was another Phoenix, Madalyne has all the magic stuff. enough. If you want a messiah, merge every role and have it be Jean herself. She's the important one historically anyway.

Thats what I was hoping. Make Jean the messiah and all her incarnations (Jean Grey, Phoenix, Maddie Pryor, Hope) merge into the one and only Jean Grey AKA the White Phoenix of the Crown.
