Is it just me or does Captain N look stoned?

Yeah, I’ll take that V over V Battalion, but I love M too much! If you can find a better M cover, though…;)

Here’s the V comic I was trying to get a decent image of:

Damn it, that was supposed to link to a V for Vendetta cover image. Argh.

I agree with MWGallaher above. The “M” on the Generation X cover doesn’t really pop, since there’s so much other type there (Similar problem with the D-Man Captain America cover – The D is lost in all the other cover elements). The M cover he suggests is much better.

I think that this would be better for V, though. I tried to find a good image for DC’ s V tie-in comic, but it’s almost impossible to search for a series where the title is just a single letter.

I like M!

If you can find a better cover featuring M, though…

Wouldn’t a House of M cover have worked better for “M’.

I think the weakest cover remaining is the “M”. How about

for an alternative?

Excellent edits. This is a much more satisfying set than the one I first saw here. And I knew that somehow, somewhere, there would be a reason (excuse) for the existence(fictional) of Puck. God I hate that little spinning freak.

God, aren’t you glad you weren’t alive when that ‘F-Troop’ comic was published?

I’m pretty sure that if I had walked into the corner store and saw that fuckin’ shit-smear staring back at me from the spinner-rack, I would have pulled out a knife and slashed my own throat right then and there. Bleeding to death on the shopfloor, I would have joyfully gone to meet my maker knowing that I didn’t have to spend another second in the company of such hideous cuntery.

Christ, they used to publish some fucked-up, retarded shit, didn’t they?

You know what, ZZZ, you’ve convinced me!

I’ll use the latter one! Thanks!

For "R," how about this or this? Assuming I got the html right, which is a crapshoot.

Wouldnâ€™t a good Robin cover work for R?

Yeah, that was my first thought, too, but I wasn’t able to find a cover where the “R” in Robin was significant enough.

not that it would be a big change, but I actually prefer the Y on the final issue of Y: The Last Man to the one on the first issue.

(I just wanted to comment because I thought it was cute that there were 26 replies to the alphabet topic)

They look much better now. “R” could still use an improvement, though.

Is that REALLY the best D-Man cover?

Poor guy.

I used D-Man, Ben!!

Why are there two C’s and no D’s?! You just didn’t want to use a cover. Like, oh, DAZZLER the MOVIE. You break my heart sometimes, BC!

Here’s a link to the I Spy cover I mentioned. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/CSBG/1194_4_50.jpg

The link comes from one of Brian’s Urban Legends posts.
