I personally found the cover amusing (better kinky covers than the gore that is trend in DC Comics nowadays), but Joe Quesada defending himself in Newsarama, saying that he didn't knew about tentacle hentai, was annoying. If you're going for more sugestive covers, at least don't hide and lie when the inevitable complaints come.

That's silly that he flat out lied about it. At least fess up.

I think the bit that bothered me most was the look on Black Cat's face. That's pretty harsh for a character whose origin includes date rape, then another attempted rape later in her 'career'.

Can Marvel please keep things away from poor Felicia's crotch for a while?

(btw, thanks for commenting ^^)

The problem with Felicia's origin was Kevin Smith. They should never, ever let him write female characters. I don't pretend that every female should be one of Claremont or Whedon's überwomen (though I like them), but retconning a "rape origin" ruined big part of the character's charm, and this cover isn't really helping, so I can see your point.

As a revenge, there's a fanart of this cover, just with scantily clad Luke Cage and Iron Fist instead of the girls, saw it on an image board, it's amusing.

as worksafe as the cover, not much

(and glad to comment here ^_^)

That fan art is spectacular!
I can agree on the Kevin Smith issue. It took him forever to finish that Spiderman/Black Cat series.

It's a bad time to be a Marvel comics girl - Mary Jane's "figure", She Hulk's rampant promiscuity, & Rogue's Strain 88/Power Change/8 billion minds extravaganza.
