Thanks for the votes everyone.
ok, now that I'm home and can post on my desktop system:
Granted, "art" is subjective, but there are just some covers you look at and think to yourself: "how the heck did an Editor approve this to be the cover???"
it can be bad anatomy, bad coloring, bad layout. . anything.
so choose a cover that you think should be displayed in MOBA (Museum of Bad Art)
The rules -
Post one, and only one, cover that fits the theme of the contest.
Cover must be from an published comic book or collected volume.
Covers must be posted before voting begins.
Voting runs from12 AM Tuesday until 12 AM Wednesday PST .
Vote by posting the name in bold of the poster whose cover best fits the theme or that you simply like the most.
The winner of the contest is the entrant with the most votes after the voting period.
Have fun!
Here's my contribution: X-Factor 139.
just look at that "anatomy". . and no, Mystique being a shape-shifter can't excuse that "neck"

I would've bet money I was the only person who remembered L.I.F.E. Brigade. The b&w glut was almost too easy, and I did try for something from the mainstream publishers. But I just kept coming back to this one. . . Originally Posted by Shawn Hopkins

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

I could choose a Liefeld cover, but I decided to be a little more creative, and remembered a number of ugly Batman covers
