Least Favourite Comic Covers Part 10


So it turns out that the all-white cover to Civil War: The Return that had been floating around the Internet actually was the final product that would appear on the comic!

Obviously Marvel saved some money on this little package, since they charged the same as they always do and yet didn't actually have to pay anyone to pencil, ink or colour the cover! As a fan, I'll admit to feeling a little ripped off. I guess you could argue it's like the Beatles' white album, except of course that it's nowhere near that level of importance within its genre. To me, this just feels like a cheap stunt that deprived us of a cool cover image.

Oh, and not having read it yet, but having peeked inside to check out the interior page condition, it looks like the hero returning is (spoiler follows) Captain Marvel.
