With the unveiling of a Spider-Woman #1 variant cover (seen above) by Italian artist Milo Manara gathering a heavy amount of attention (and criticism), Marvel has informed comic retailers that variants for Avengers & X-Men: AXIS #1 and Thor #2 will no longer be illustrated by Manara. The AXIS variant will be by Siya Oum, but the artist of the Thor cover has not been revealed. No reason was actually given, but one can assume that due to the controversy the cover generated, Marvel didn't wish to push it even further. Manara's Spider-Woman variant will still be published as seen in the November solicitations. What do you make of this?
