NOT BEING MEAN BUT WHY ARE THE COVER PINK?
Anthrax - 6/27/2012, 2:23 PM
thats cool but yeah why pink
jimoakley666 - 6/27/2012, 2:27 PM
Really? On the Wolverine cover they have a caring and heart felt cover to show respect for sufferers of breast cancer and women who may well have had a mastectomy, and the feature a huge big bouncy set of out of proportion cartoon anime tits.

Utter dip shits.

THEDARKNIGHT100 & Anthrax

Surely, you cannot be THAT clueless?
2Challa - 6/27/2012, 2:28 PM
They pulled that off well. I like it but isn't breast cancer month October?
Stumblin - 6/27/2012, 2:29 PM
THEDARKNIGHT100 & Anthrax = Not the brightest people in the world.

By the way jimoakley666, just because you get breast cancer doesn't mean you lose your boobs man. My aunt had it, got rid of it with chemo and guess what? Still has boobs.

People get so damn touchy over nothing.

Hope X-23 never gets breast cancer.
tweeeeenkies3 - 6/27/2012, 2:44 PM
These are so great.
I am happy to see comics take on such a subject...

The X-23 cover is just awesome!
jimoakley666 - 6/27/2012, 2:52 PM
Stumblin - Did you honestly just complain about people getting touchy over breast cancer? Are you a fool? It's a pretty serious matter you plank. You should [frick]ing well know if one of your own loved one's has gone through it. It's [frick]ing horrible at the best of times. When the shit REALLY hits the fan though...

Also, read the comment before responding. "...women who may well have had a mastectomy". "MAY HAVE".

I have to say, I'm pretty damn impressed with the progress people fighting for breast cancer awareness have made, as seen by the number of manly organizations and pastimes that have embraced the color pink in support.

More power to 'em.

Where the hell is Teabag?
CaptainObvious - 6/27/2012, 3:03 PM
Didn't DC do this last year and everybody accussed them of sexism?
AnditsOn1 - 6/27/2012, 3:24 PM
marvel you are funny....DC has "you can be heroes" and you have what? This?
Astro - 6/27/2012, 3:25 PM
Yes Where is Teabag???
DanteSparda - 6/27/2012, 3:26 PM
Love Wolverine X-23 cover, but I hate that suit, she needs her X-Men and X-Force suits back! Also she can't use a suit that covers her belly that's worse than the fact that is pink.
Astro - 6/27/2012, 3:27 PM
And pink's been the colour for this for years now!
santoanderson - 6/27/2012, 3:27 PM
No boobs yet, huh?
Wildaniel - 6/27/2012, 3:28 PM
I like the X-23 cover.
tweeeeenkies3 - 6/27/2012, 4:27 PM
@DE4DPOOL...Really? That is just wrong. This is about breast CANCER! This matter shouldn't be about pornographic/revealing/nude images. Your comment is beyond immature. Get a life.
Breast cancer...any form of cancer is no joking matter.
TheOne20 - 6/27/2012, 4:39 PM
@De4dp00L... go troll pornhub
mgeoff88 - 6/27/2012, 5:03 PM

That's really cool. It's great to see comic book companies take up such important causes.

@AnditsOn1 More people suffer from starvation, than people are diagnosed with breast cancer, but they are both important causes!

Don't compare the quality of two different campaigns, just support them!

@tweeeeenkies I completely agree with you! I don't think some people realize that breast cancer, is cancer. Like any other form of cancer, if left untreated, it is life threatening!
MrsTonyStark0507 - 6/27/2012, 8:44 PM
Just wanted to point out that mastectomies are not what they used to be. Now they remove the tissue and put in an implant during the same surgery. They used to take the entire breast, but now it is so much more advanced. This is not to say that it is any less scarring emotionally or any less painful. Just wanted to say that a woman who has cancer can still have great breasts. This is what cancer research is all about!! I will be buying all 3 of these, if I can!! Love the Cap and Thor covers!! :)
ThatOneDude - 6/27/2012, 10:59 PM
Lovin these covers

It's nice knowing that Marvel is supporting the fight against Breast Cancer
BenderDickCumPatch - 6/28/2012, 6:18 AM
@HEDARKNIGHT100 and @Anthrax -
TheMyth - 6/28/2012, 7:52 AM
Jimoakley, My mom died of cancer 2 years ago and I've beaten skin cancer, so I think I qualify for about as personal an experience with cancer as one can have. That said, shut the [frick] up. This is a positive thing and you grasp for something to be offended by? What a sac of shit...
xstryker - 6/28/2012, 7:52 AM
The pink costume is likely only for this cover, much the way Cap's shield looks pink there.
CherryBomb - 6/28/2012, 9:05 AM
This is really great (:
Any chance to promote awareness to a cause is a great thing.

Breast Cancer is something that affects both men AND women. So I'm really proud of Marvel (:
