I am not much of a marvel fan or of the superhero genre in general but somehow I am excited.

I love rules light intro RPGs snd this looks like it's going to be a slick books with high production values but low page count.

I have a feeling Gambit characters would be really, really good at this game.

Also, forget d616. Where's the d666 game? Has this been overlooked?

Post script, am I seeing a familial resemblance between Hulk and the Cap'n? I wonder if the book's fluff explores this possibility.

That's In Nomine. Though it's more of a branding thing - as I recall, it's 2d6 to see if you succeed at all and a third to get degree of success/failure, with special results for rolling triple ones for angels and triple sixes for demons.

I wonder if Logan Lubera is a fan of Frank Robbins and his work on The Invaders. Captain Marvel in that cover has a Robbins vibe.

Oh, man. When I saw this my first thought was that they were channeling the 1990s by releasing multiple versions of the game with variant covers.

We’ve known all that since the original announcement.

The only one of those covers that I remotely like is the original.

... Okay, there is a thing people often do when asked to provide several of something. Offer one good one, the one they want to see used, and the others made to be "not right" for the project. See that above? Somebody did that.

I'm not saying they're bad art, I'm saying the other two are unbrandable for a cover piece.

My opinion, mind you. Feel free to have your own.
