My two cents. The artist is known for drawing comic book porn. That's not a description, it was legitimately porn. Artistically pretty, but still porn. We used to sell his stuff when I managed a comic shop; always in the 18+ box. Marvel knew exactly what they were doing when they hired this guy. I don't fault the artist at all. It's his style he's been using for 20+ years. Is it appropriate for the cover of a Marvel comic? Probably not, but that was Marvel's decision.
