What are some awesome comic book covers that unfortunately contain a lame story? I'll start with this one: www.comics.org/issue/41709/cover/4/?style=defaultAWESOME cover to a cheesy "superman becomes a werewolf" story. This was the next-to-last issue of the comic as well, the next issue would be "whatever happened to the man of tommorow" which essentially was the epitaph of the bronze age. |

The new Punisher comes to mind here, with Frankencastle having a bad ass looking cover. However, the story......isn't.

90% of Image. Those original Wetworks covers were a thing of beauty. The stories? Wait, what stories?

I can give you one thing: The conversation between Juggernaut and Xavier regarding their childhood abuse. That one page stands out to me still. "He hit me too." |

Juggy was the only interesting thing he did and I wish it had continued, but everything else was shit. f***er all so killed my boy Skin, big Generation X fan. |

The ONLY thing I liked about Austen's run on X-men was the one Wolverine joke were all of the staff were complaining to cyclops about some stuff and Wolvie's was "Dammit Summers I can't be on EVERY team".
I thought it was cool to see even Wolvewrine thinks he's overused.
