Uh?

[CubanMustGo]

I take it the artist has never seen a picture of Tim Duncan?

[Texas_Ranger]

Is that Malik Rose on the left.

[SourCandy]

That would be so cool if they actually lookED like the players.

[sananspursfan21]

ti's not a spur

[Mark in Austin]

I take it the artist has never seen a picture of Tim Duncan?

Or Manu or Tony, apparently.

[NASpurs]

At least they got Thor, Ironman and Captain America correct.

[TwelveGs210]

is that Steve Smith on the right?

other than the poor depictions of spurs players, i like it. the modern superheroes of today looking up at tim duncan and the spurs is pretty cool.

[TIMMYD!]

+1

Aside from the shitty depictions, I like the concept.

[Libri]

I would like to see Jim Lee draw the Spurs.

[024]

oh btw, the espn cover has kobe as iron man, lebron as captain america, and durant as the hammer dude, who i will call thor since i don't know his name. so the idea of them still being overshadowed by the legacy of the spurs is quite good.

[Xevious]

Why is Mike Tyson wearing a Duncan jersey?

[Avitus1]

Great idea, poor execution. At least Disney is using the company it owns to churn on more crap then ever.

Here's some link I found on some forum with good quality pics with captions.

Here's a all of them pasted at once if you dont want to click through every single one. Picture quality is small though.

Spurs caption says
"Statue of Synergy
The Heat may have the Big Three, but the Spurs have the league's top tenured triumvirate: Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker. So Marvel gave its Big Three - Captain America, Iron Man, and Thor - a moment to reflect on the feats of these legends. But is the Spurs' greatness frozen in the past? Not even close. Last season, Duncan, Ginobili and Parker had a combined Player Efficiency Rating of 63.6, the highest for any NBA trio that averaged 25 minutes or more in at least 50 games. Now that's solid."

Pretty cool, good to know we still had the best big 3 last year. Although, the Spurs cover was the only cover where not a single player looked remotely like any player on the team. What's up with that?!

Btw, my vote for best cover is for Houston's Yao Ming cover.

[Trill Clinton]

Damn, Ginobili looks black.

[ShoogarBear]

Captain America, Iron Man, and Thor are Marvel's Big Three?

[crc21209]

Uh...yeah. :lol...would've been way better if they actually looked like the damn players.

[D-rob fan]

Captain American, Iron Man, and Thor are Marvel's Big Three?

Yeah I would've guessed they were Spiderman, the Hulk and either Captain America or Wolverine.

[crc21209]

Yeah I would've guessed they were Spiderman, the Hulk and either Captain America or Wolverine.

I would go with Spider-Man, Iron Man and either Captain America or Wolverine flip a coin on those two...

[ShoogarBear]

The reason, of course, is because they are Marvel's Big Three Upcoming Movies.

[crc21209]

Ooooohhh yeah..:lol

[Mark in Austin]

I like the Clippers, Rockets, and Nets covers.

[ShoogarBear]

I like the Clippers, Rockets, and Nets covers.

Those, of course, are the NBA's Big Three.

[crc21209]

Those, of course, are the NBA's Big Three.

:lol They STACKED!

[LoneStarState'sPride]

Save for the shitty depictions, I REALLY like the concept of the cover.

[D-rob fan]

They failed at the Celtics cover though. They are supposed to be the Fantastic Four reincarnated as the Fantastic Five in Celtic green but I thought they were Green Lantern costumes at first then realized that Green Lantern was D.C.

[#2!]

Nets, Lakers are both cool. Rockets would be cool if it actually looked like Yao. Spurs would be cool if they looked like spurs. I can't even figure out who the two guys behind tim are supposed to be, and if it wasn't for the jersey I wouldn't be able to tell its timmy. Also, the concept is good, but I'd prefer them not to be fading to black, or at maybe actually be superheroes themselves.

X-men maybe? pop as dr xavier would be funny.

[Fernando TD21]

I don't have time to change the other guys, but here is Duncan.

Wow, that's embarrassing (and by that I mean Marvel, not the picture right above this post).

:wowGreat job, man! Put marvel to shame..I mean even more than they already had by drawing those three random black dudes and calling themselves artists.

And thank you for taking the Old out of that Glory...This is a new team with some guns...Great job.

[DAF86]

I like the Clippers, Rockets, and Nets covers.

Where are the other team's covers? I can't find them.

Thanks Bukefal

[nkdlunch]

horrible.

my 10 year old could have made a better cover. And I don't even have a 10 year old

[cheguevara]

so basically the spurs are dead?

[Bukefal]

Thanks Bukefal

:toast

[alchemist]

cool ass hell, will keep forever.

lmao @ the mavs cover, the worst of all.

Yeah, WTF is up with the Mavs cover? :lol

lol Mavs cover

Dude. Well Done!
PLEEEEEEZ, if you do get some time, fix Tony and Manu.

[LongtimeSpursFan]

Save for the shitty depictions, I REALLY like the concept of the cover.

I agree. Definitely one of the better covers. I like the fact that the three superheroes marvel at our Big Three.

[Libri]

Dude. Well Done!
PLEEEEEEZ, if you do get some time, fix Tony and Manu.

So you're saying one of those is not Bonner?

[Dex]

:lol at Denvers. And I thought ours was rough.

[ShoogarBear]

So you're saying one of those is not Bonner?

:lol

[Manufan909]

So the Red Hulk is Boozer, right?

[BlairForceDejuan]

Captain America, Iron Man, and Thor are Marvel's Big Three?

They are when you are preparing to drop upcoming blockbusters :lol Manu should have been Wolverine though. What a damn shame. Instead they give it to a 7' smiley with no post game.


The complete non-resemblance is a slap in the face, but the concept is perfect.

[carina_gino20]

I think it was during 2008 NO or LA series when Manu had that playoff beard going and was looking Wolverin-ish.

If Marvel had drawn Manu with his back turned to us, he would've been more recognizable than the one they have now.

But I do love the fact that the Spurs' Big Three are not just superheroes, but heroes of the superheroes. :lol

This is the Spurs cover:

TD looks more like Tony.

Tony looks more like RJ.

I dont know what the hell is up with Manu here. They couldnt even get his nose right.

[Venti Quattro]

The guy on the left looks like Kendrick Perkins.

[easjer]

Am I the only one who thinks the Memphis cover looks like a gay pride parade?

Yes?

Right then.
