Quesada contributes Colbert variant cover for Spider-Man

Spidey-Colbert Team-Up gets sales support

Amazing Spider-Man #573 will guest star television host Stephen Colbert and now the company has announced a variety of variant covers to celebrate the event. One will be a variant itself on Amazing Adult Fantasy #15 as interpreted Marvel EiC and artist Joe Quesada. The issue will have two standard covers – one from Romita Jr. and one from Kevin Maguire, a zombie variant from artist Marko Djurdjevic, and now the Quesada/Colbert cover.

Writer Mark Waid and artist Pat Olliffe produce the eight-page story, a chapter in Colbert’s quest to become president in the Marvel Universe. Readers can also find campaign trail updates at a special website, http://blog.indecision2008.com/tag/marvel/

The issue’s main event will be the conclusion to “New Ways To Die” from writer Dan Slott and artist John Romita Jr.

Hmm... While Quesada is one of my favorite artists because of his competency with a pen & ink, I find this gratuitous display both disrespectful and deplorable. This is all we need; another "Collectible" variant cover. I'm not a fan of the Colbert report, nor of Joe Q. as an Editor-In-Chief who has made more bad decisions in the past year than in the entire history of Marvel Comics. JQ should be ashamed of himself, especially since he didn't even credit Steve Ditko for the layout! Joe Quesada is a "Show-Boat" and should have been replaced long ago...

Can we stop reusing this layout?

I ceased to be cute a dozen times ago.

I ceased to be cute about 15 years ago.

Rick?
You ceased to be cute 15 years ago?
I'm so sorry for you.
Maybe it's that anger you carry with you about trivial things like comic book cover layouts?
I hear that can really age a person. ;)

I'm not angry about the cover.

I just think they can come up with a new layout.
