For my part I prefer the final version: more dynamic with the Living Monolith from head to toe.

There was a lot going on with the rejected cover, its kind of confusing. The one that was chosen was simpler. Kid-me would have liked the one that was chosen better.

I remember reading there was worry that the logo wasn't visible enough anymore and could get overlooked in the spinner rack. Originally Posted by Kirby101

Yes, I'm sure I read something similar about that cover. Originally Posted by CaptainEurope

I agree. The published cover is far more effective than the rejected cover. Originally Posted by Zelena

I can see why it was rejected (and not just for the logo reason that's often mentioend). I find the Monolith's torso and especially his arms awkwardly and poorly drawn; plus the X-Men on the logo is gimmicky, almost too "clever" for words; it's silly. A comatose Alex (then a new character/not yet Havok) seems like an afterthought on the cover. Overall, IMHO it's a too-busy cover with wonky composition.Last edited by Shalla Bal; 08-07-2023 at 10:55 AM.
