Spider-Gwen - Jason Latour and Robbie Rodriguez 0

[Silverdream]

Just me, or is this kind of disappointing?

 

The image of Gwen is beautiful, but it looks like a recycled commission, rather than a new original piece. Or maybe I was just expecting her in costume.

 

*Confirmed by a friend, this was a commission piece.

Adam Hughes Spider-Gwen Variant

 

 

 

Wow if they really use this one, whomever got the commissioned piece is going to have a windfall.

 

That's pretty crazy. Sort of lame he is using a reused piece instead of creating something new.

 

So it goes like this :

 

Marvel calls Adam; "we need a Gwen Stacey cover for the first issue of Spider-Gwen. We will pay you YZZX dollars for it."

 

5 minutes later Adam calls them back, " ok guys , im done. Please deposit the money and I will Email you it"

 

That's some pretty fast cash.

 

I understand he retains the right to use his works, and im not saying anything is wrong with it, but wow.

 

Oh, I see, Ron Lim is the owner.

Vikingreed can see through comic fog, just sayin'.

 

Yeah, okay...

Maybe I get a little excited about the black shoes/slippers debate...

[Vikingreed]

Yeah, I was wondering if the owner is "the" Ron Lim.

[Doc McCoy]

No, diffrent Ron Lim. Also according to Adam's FB posting, Marvel did indeed call him up and ask about using that image. He agreed, but only if he could do the color work on it.

[Vikingreed]

Wow.

I bet that guy is super pumped!

[Vikingreed]

The Hughes variant isn't up on MTC yet, but several others are.

I'm interested to see the Campbell cover

I'm interested to see the Campbell cover

 

Yep, me too!

[DigsUT]

Not sure I find anything wrong with them reusing a previous commission for a cover. If I am not mistaken, the SSM 20 Campbell cover was a earlier commission as well. That book has done exceedingly well.

 

In regards to this particular piece, I was kinda hoping that Gwen would be featured in the costume, but hey, it still looks nice.

I went on a mini rant, when I did not have all of the facts. Nothing wrong with Marvel asking him for it, or even him shopping it to them.

 

Either way, its a nice piece, and yes I think wearing a costume would have been much cooler.

[Awax]

She has on the costume on the left side of the book

Maybe you'll get your wish.............

[GeneticNinja]

Disappointing Adam Hughes cover. Gwen's pretty but I expected more. Perhaps J Scott Campbell will do something cool.

[krighton]

I can sense JSC whipping up a Black Cat cover a.s.a.p.

Agreed. Especially since that's 99% of this incarnation of the character's appeal.

What does that say for the long term appeal and success of the character?

I think saying that 99% of the reason people like Spider-Gwen is because of her costume is misguided. Especially since people's favorite topic to discuss is how much they hate a particular part of the costume.

 

I think the biggest appeal in the character is the fact that it is Gwen Stacy.

Gwen Stacy is not a new character. This costume is new. And apart from some playful ribbing regarding her footwear, I guess you missed the last half dozen or so posts where everyone complained about the fact that she is NOT wearing the costume on the announced cover.
