Marvel's having Mighty Men of Marvel variants for July. I love it even though some aren't near beefcakey enough
http://www.newsarama.com/28472-mighty-men-of-marvel-variant-covers-gallery.html
Some of them are pretty good, a few don't seem to even understand the point of what they're doing
They're much better than DC's pisspoor attempt at the guys during their pin-up month.
Nice.
Cap, Deadpool, Hulk, Miles and Peter are all good. The others either aren't showing/posed well enough or don't get what a pin-up is. That BP one is practically a Frazetta painting.
>Objectifying the human form is fine as long as it's not women
T-thanks Marvel
>>80892854
The answer is both are fine in the right context and you know that damn well just like I do.
>>80892854
You're acting like Cho's Hulk book doesn't exist. As far as I know, Marvel doesn't have any beefcake-y book right now.
I'm so sick of this slavshit Iron Fist look. Danny needs to be in a suit.
>>80892854
Marvel's doing Women centric covers like right now
This and Anka's Spiderman variant are the best.
Why the fuck isn't Anka drawing a beefcake book?
>>80892893
The proportions in this one stop it from being as hot as it could be.
Pymtron variant?
>>80892587
>cap looks like a twink
into the trash it goes.
This one's good too.
Should've been full shirtless.Is it wrong if I really want to fuck old Logan?
>>80892907
this one is disappointing because c'mon it's Matt, even the show knows this
Some of these just look like regular covers.
>Marvel didn't contract Mann to do all of these before he went DC exclusive
why
>>80892993
Full naked in the snow cut up and bloodied more like. This one >>80892973 should have been full shirtless.
>>80893024
Even the covers state how overpowered his blasts are
>no Dauterman Odinson instead
What are you doing Marvel?
Anka and Dauterman should've done all the variants.
>>80892929
Because no one bought new x-factor.
>>80893024
The pose in that one is important. For sure >>80893011 just looks like a regular cover.
>>80893029
>DC will never let Mann do beefcake covers
Watch Mann be on a female led book too
>>80892587
>Mighty
>a scrawny twink
It's SHIT.
>>80892962
>praising wifebeater
Can you stop that? Scott Lang is superior Ant-Man and has way less baggage, anyway.
did they tell the artists to be as boring as possible
>>80893060
He looks fucking disgusting
>>80893090
Ebin
>>80893079
>Mann, Anka and Dauterman are all on female led books
Fuck this gay planet.
>>80893108
his facial hair looks a little better at least
>>80893060
no Dauterman is a disappointment
>>80892893
>>80893073
These are close but >>80892929 is the only good one
>>80893100
most comic covers are boring, even the hip hop variants ended up mostly becoming generic because they were forced into just album covers and not actually doing anything interesting with whatever rap group they wanted
>>80892940
>no abs
It's a pinup of a male caped character you had ONE JOB
>This is okay.
>The Spider-Woman cover was a cultural catastrophe.
TumblrMarvel pisses me off so much.
>>80892940
Haha oh god
>>80893146
but if the planet was gay they'd be on beefcake books
>>80893180
It's made by Erica, aka "You only hate my book because SquirrelGirl is ugly" Henderson
>>80893180
at least Strange kinda makes sense to not be ripped
>>80893182
There's literally a Women of Power variant month right now, you whiny faggot.
Plus, most of these are disappointing when it comes to beefcake. Marvel can call me when they have something like Cho's Hulk, but with sexy muscled men.
>>80892940
Where are his nipples?
>>80893146
Aren't the last two gay too?
That's just a swift kick to the balls if they are. They deserve to draw sexy men 24/7
These drawings just show that people have no idea what turns women on, almost all these guys are drawn from the male point of view.
>>80892940
>Henderson drawing "beefcake"
BURN IT
>>80893151
>his facial hair looks a little better at least
It still looks like pubes glued on his face.
>>80893293
Yeah, both Anka and Dauterman are gay.
They really should be put on books with more dudes. Their talent is wasted.
>>80893221
The face is pretty good for her actually, handsome-ish.
>>80893235
>>80893235
Where is my delicious v then
Again though, better than DC's attempt. I'm still furious about the mediocre Nightwing pinup we got and that stupid 1930s Batman.
inb4 the youknowwho decry this as male power fantasy
>>80893270
>99% of these are beefcake
>all the women ones are "strong independent women" pictures
Fuck off, faggot. It's a double standard.
>>80893340
At least there's still this Grayson variant.
>>80893311
Is it that hard to pull up a romance book cover and use it as a reference though? They didn't even try.
>>80893380
Is that Phil Jimenez?
>>80893060
Loki's pube beard needs to go
>>80893340
None of these are better than this
>>80893377
99% of these are tame as fuck, shirtless doesn't equal beefcake.
>>80893423
Yeah.
Pretty funny that it's mostly the gay dudes that seem to be able to do decent beefcake.
Beefcake without namor?
>>80893380
Bless Jimenez's gay heart
>>80893446
those were fun
>>80893500
Isn't he dead?
>>80893500
Namor is kill anon.
>>80892766
jesus his head is way too small for his body
is that another gift from the radioactive spider/
They really just need to bring back the Swimsuit issues
These are all pretty lame honestly.
>>80893548
Wada and Anka wanted to bring swimsuit back, but Marvel didn't let them.
>>80893446
>>80893506
This. All of this clothed variants are so much sexier than this pisspoor attempt of pin ups. Only the Deadpool one is good.
>>80893522
>>80893519
As if death would stop Namor getting lewd
>>80893575
>but Marvel didn't let them.
What the actual fuck
Why not?
Are they insane?
Are they retarded?
Are they blind?
Reminds me of when they attempted to replicate the ESPN bodies issue. Completely missed the point (athletic bodies in motion) and just had them standing around.
>>80893080
even porn tracer land missed the point
quality
>>80893380
>>80893380
Now that's beefcake, of course it's from Grayson. The book that understands.
>>80893377
>>80893377
Like 20% of these qualify as beefcake, half of them are them just standing there fully clothed in a non-enticing pose
Also how are you this easily triggered by one beefcake series
>>80893446
>>80893578
These were the only ones I Liked
>>80893361
She no longer focus on women in fiction
>>80893578
Dick's variant was so disappointing though, clothed or not
I think Lupa drew that one so maybe she can only draw sexy women
Her men tend to be more cute than sexy
>>80892993
Interesting this is seen as something "new" and perhaps even "progressive" when 90s comics are filled with bare chested "hot stuff" men.
>>80893606
>So. as a few of you out there figured out, kevinwada and myself were working on a Marvel Swimsuit book. I write to you today with the somber news that after a few months back and forth with the powers-that-be, circumstances have arisen that have forced us to stop production on this project. Kevin and I are currently looking into some way to salvage some of the pieces to do something with, but in the mean time, we thought we’d treat you all to the pieces we had finished so far. While we are both disappointed that we can no longer work on this, there was no malice behind this decision. It is what it is. Although on the plus side, this now free’s Kevin and I up to some new things potentially this year, so who knows.
No clue, they probably didn't want the internet going apeshit about objectification and all that.
>>80893644
I liked her Magic Mike variant but her ladies are hotter than her men on average
>>80892929
Wade's face looks too pretty here, adding some dots just doesn’t cut it.
>>80893636
I liked all of them, mostly due to the aesthetic of the time than the cheese/beef cake though.
While it is nice that Marvel is giving the whole male pin-up idea a try too, DC did much better. Sure, the DC male bombshells wore much MUCH more clothes than they should had, but some of the covers were clever and funny.
>>80893235
Only if you don't know shit about the character. He's a martial artist trained as well as the average hero who isn't all about being a master fighter and he regularly spars with Wong.
wow most of these suck
the non-beefcake ones are boring and the beefcake ones are mostly bad
try harder Marvel
Marvel artists pls make an effort to understand what women find sexy next time
>>80893817
>don't you fucking dare draw a nipple
>>80892940
what on earth is this
>>80893817
>no hair
They look too much like Ken dolls here.
>>80893856
it's not perfect, but it's still superior
>>80893865
Erica Handerson, of course.
>>80893723
Oh, the execution and presentation of them was definitely really interesting and a lot of the girl ones I thought were well done. I just meant purely in terms of being hot/cute/sexy men ones, I felt short-changed and like it was a missed opportunity. It was fairly innovative with them actually being like, posted pinups for the cover.
>>80893741
DC understands male objectification better overall, they have a nice balance these days that pleases me. I'm so happy Marcus To looks to be coming back.
>>80893989
What is To working on?
Should've brought Mike Mayhew to do a cover.
>>80894008
>>80894008
Dunno, in fact it's not confirmed at all.
http://www.bleedingcool.com/2016/03/08/dc-comics-superman-ad-for-emerald-city-comic-con-2016/ I am basing it entirely on the fact he's included in DC's talent pool for this con, despite not having worked on any of their books for a few years now. I could be totally wrong and it could just be for that Superman book he did, in which case I will be very, very sad. I want to believe he is back on a monthly. It's what I deserve.

you'd think he could have at least found a nice cumshot to trace
>>80894982
Maybe he just refuses to have any 'reference' pics from gay porn
>>80893474
Yes but a male shirtless is equal to a woman showing cleavage and NONE of the female covers are sexy in any way shape or form you fuck.
There are still 4 more variants that need to be released.
>ANAD by Kuder
>GotG by Joelle Jones
>New Avengers by Declan Shalvey
>Squadron Supreme by Jenny Frison
No sexy Venom?
As i was suspecting, Bendis teen Jean Grey, will turn every male Marvel character into gay, after the end of the Civil War 2 event.
>beefcake variant month
>95% are either ugly or not even beefcake
Every day, Marvel finds new ways to disappoint me.
>>80894710

>>80895023
Anon, I don't know how to tell you this, but regular ass straight porn has naked men in it too.
>>80894249
>despite not having worked on any of their books for a few years now
he drew part of the Multiversity guidebook
>>80895162
>>ANAD by Kuder
I am going to be really disappointed if he left DC to draw Marvel stuff
>>80895306
But they aren't the focus and usually aren't good looking
>>80893024
Them legs.
>>80894710
Anka's spider-man one is great though, it's just more subtle than the others.
>>80895886
>getting wet over thin stick legs
>>80895782
You say that like by the time Land's done tracing shit it's in any way attractive, and not some kind of weird hoverfart.
>>80893839
>could have sweaty Thor trying to pick up the hammer with Jane's foot on the small of his back
>>80892913
Extremely late but do you not fucking see the parallels to Bruce Lee's yellow and black tracksuit?
Post some of your favorite official beefcake art.
Hard mode: no Grayson.
>>80895276
It's like, they want do "beefcake" but they don't want to make it too overtly or provocatively sexual so they do this strange middle ground instead, and what results is mild and tame and not all that hot. What's the point?
>>80896053
They made a huge mistake in not giving it a single stripe.
>>80895966
B oth femenine legs and manly legs with big thighs are great.
>>80896114
Yep. Cap could have had half his shirt and mask off, bloody, tousle-haired, holding up an unconscious half-naked Bucky on that cover. Just, you know, for example.
>>80893024
>literally fingering an anus
>>80896199
Should've had beefy gladiator Cap.
Gone too soon.
>>80892587
None of these stand out as exceptional, except Dr. Strange for the wrong reasons.
>>80896113
nothing can compare
>>80892954
Lucky for you.....
>No Coipel
>No Cho
>No Dauterman
>Some are just dudes standing there not shirtless
You failed, Marvel.
>>80896114
I mean Marvel was too afraid to show quasi nudity in the ESPN body issue, the magazine that shows everything but dick, vagina and lady nipples, I doubt they'd do it i their own covers either.
>>80892587
>those bandaids
Fucking retarded anime shit.
>>80897148
Maybe Cap just got skidded across the road and was like "Ladies I'm a little banged up, Some help?" and then them being American Women gave him tiny little bandaids, not wanting to offend their generosity he put them on.
>>80896113
One of my favorite panels in any comic, ever. The way Hal's body arches is just glorious and there is nothing that isn't sexual about it.
>>80892587
Is Colossus the hottest one once again?
I swear, he was the best looking thing in the swimsuit editions.
>>80892929
>He's hiding his face from the girls, because he's self-conscious.
Cute. CUTE!
>>80897911
No Colossus sadly.
>>80893024
>>80892929
>I just realized who drew that
All those women have dicks.
Ironically this is probably his best nonporn work I've seen.
>>80897968
Fuck everything.
>>80896113
Might be a bit toohot,so I'm going to spoiler it.
>>80898174
You know nowadays they could have Robbie Reyes shirtless fresh from working on the engine block of some car in the summer heat.
>>80898174
Wow anon, that's indeed very hot.
>>80897968
There might be, I don't think they did any of the X-Men covers he'd be on...
>>80896113
there was the one in thunderbolts with Zemo after he had gained the boy of his counterEarth version
>>80895246
She outdoes Wanda.
>"No more shitlords"
>>80897987
who's the artist?
I'm asking for a friend
>>80901118
Otto von Schmidt. Russian/slav/whatever artist who did innocent dickgirls.
