There's no reason they shouldn't be okay with it.  Instead of a cowl, Mile's is holding a US flag.  Big deal. 

Sure, Disney would find that offensive but I doubt Marvel does. 

I'm not defending the guy who did this, I'm just saying all the dramatics about lawsuits is ridiculous. 

I think an official Marvel announcement that there is nothing wrong with what was done will cause a big chunk of people to back off and speed up the process of moving on and forgetting about it. 

Would be a shame, but definitely something I see happening soon.

Why on earth would Marvel make such an announcement?

750 isn't mass production. 

Someone remarqued 750 books. 

Again... Marvel will show us what they can do.  Our opinions are irrelevant. 

It wasn't a remarque

 

Someone made their own special cover, had 750 copies  professionally printed and attached to  a major publishers IP ( without consent) for sole purpose of profit. 

Legally speaking you  allowed to do a one off with someone's IP.  You are not supposed to do a run and sell it from a store without  getting consent / licensing use of IP etc.

There's a strong possibility that Marvel will say that a retailer is free to do as they please with their store exclusive after they have completed the deal with Marvel. Once a retailer pays for the 3,000+ copies of a store variant, those copies become theirs to do as they please. They can sell them, hold them back and sell at a later time, raise or lower the price as they see fit, etc. 

Just don't be shocked if Marvel says what was done is totally up to the retailer since the books are their property after the contract is signed and the books are paid for.

They will not say this.  Marvel would absolutely not be ok with someone printing something risqué on acetate, stapling it to 750 books and selling it as a show exclusive.
