So this is pretty neat.
Matthew Waite’s variant for the first issue of Avengers AI is a direct homage to classic 8-bit Mega Man sprites (with a Contra background, no less). Revealed on the official Marvel Tumblr, the cover depicts The Avengers -- striking a few familiar poses -- in a heated bout with Ultron robots. Click here to see the full piece.
Given the popularity of theme variant covers, Comic Book Resources speculates more 8-bit homages could be coming down the pike. Hey, no complaints here!

Eh Protodude... Are you sure it's just the Avengers and Ultron? Cus I see Dr. Doom on there, and I know he's a baddy....
ReplyDeletedang that's cool.
ReplyDeleteMarvel must've cribbed the idea from Valiant Comics; they announced a while ago that they've got five different 8-bit variant covers coming in May/June.

ReplyDeleteThat's a Doombot that wants redemption. Avengers A.I. is a new title that will start after Ultron War that has Hank Pym, Vision, the Doombot, Victor Mancha (Ultron's son) and new characters Monica Chang(at least on the 616 universe, she alreday exists in the Ultimate line) and Alexis.
