N52 Lois deserved it. N52 Lana is superior in every category.

"Generation Lost" never ended, did it?

I guess that's what I get for being unfamiliar with mid 80s comics.

Is there some kind of award for coolist covers to mediocre issue? If so, what are some other contenders?

>>93088965
Spider-man is the go to for that. I remember that happening in Mighty Avengers too.

>>93089186
so you judged a book by its cover.

>>93089539
Guilty as charged.

Steve Gerber's original Exiles.

Superhero team book. Was solicited and advertised as an ongoing. Was actually a miniseries. Team was killed off at the end of the final issue. To keep it a secret Malibu sold pre-orders to retailers for upcoming issues that didn't even exist. Once the final issue came out LCS owners were PISSED and Malibu had to refund everybody.

Spider-man can easily take up all the oxygen in a book. They could honestly have a team book that included him, try hard not to focus on him in every issue, and release a sister issue too that is "that main comic but in Spider-Man's perspective", and even with the inevitable story gaps of him not being there for everything, it'd probably still sell better.

>>93089601
they actually took money for books thy knew wouldn't exist, and expected noone was going to ask for a refund on comics they were never getting?

>>93089785
I mean, I can understand it. Make pre-orders for something, people order it, a non-zero amount of people will forget or be unable to cancel and refund the order once the news comes out. Free profit.

Actually, he popped for the last Duggan arc as a reserve Avenger alongside Wong.

That was Spock and Peter returned to the team after he got his body back
