Odd to see this making it as far as the official preview without being fixed:
By “this,” I mean the generic credits (Also, do Marvel normally give cover credits to cover artists?). That said, even though this is a “sketch variant,” it’d be nice to see some color brought in in terms of trade dress – In this early stage, it really looks like someone has photocopied the actual cover with so much greyscale (especially in terms of the actual logo, which doesn’t read well in grey at all).

Maybe they’ll also remove his Marvel Now hat …

It’ll be interesting to see if they stick with that, and drop the colorist’s name in favor of the cover artist’s.
Cover artists are generally better known, so I would imagine that would be the reason, although I suppose it might also create some confusion as far as whether or not all the credits on the cover actually worked on the pages under it.

I’ve been a big fan of Writer Credit since his/her days writing Superhero Book for Major Company. I even liked his/her work on Horror Comic for Image/IDW/Dark Horse.

I’m excited to read this, as it’s the first time Writer Credit has worked for Major Company since that falling-out with Infamous Editor during Controversial Regime!
