	I was just about to read this comic when it struck me, this cover is awful. I wanted to post it to share its awfulness with you. Behold:

	I am scary, very, very scary.

	While it's far from one of Marvel's better covers, I've seen worse. I'll see what I can dig up.

	And check out this awful cover. What is that tan tube by Sabretooth's knee? I thought it was a toe, but now I am not sure...

	I am scary, very, very scary.

	Both of these definitely from the 90's.

	I'm most assuredly NOT a Kubert fan. I don't care what kind of lineage or art school they run, I almost always don't care for their work (father or sons).

	I like the Kuberts. I loved their Ka-Zar series a few years back. Just the above cover is god awful. I still can't figure out what that thing is by Sabretooth's knee.

The Phalanx is this computer-like alien entity that was attempting to take over the Earth or something. I actually have that issue; I should go dig it up and see if I can figure out what that actually was.

	Gee I was going with the Phalanx Symbol idea, sorry.

	I think it's supposed to be Sabretooth's foot; just bad anatomy in this particular drawing.

	OK, since nobody got my Phalanx Symbol joke, or at least didn't think it was funny you have now forced me to wallow in self pity with a good bottle of Red this weekend. It's friggin cold here in New York tonight.
