THEDARKNIGHT100 & Anthrax = Not the brightest people in the world.

By the way jimoakley666, just because you get breast cancer doesn't mean you lose your boobs man. My aunt had it, got rid of it with chemo and guess what? Still has boobs.

People get so damn touchy over nothing.

These are so great.
I am happy to see comics take on such a subject...

The X-23 cover is just awesome!

I have to say, I'm pretty damn impressed with the progress people fighting for breast cancer awareness have made, as seen by the number of manly organizations and pastimes that have embraced the color pink in support.

More power to 'em.

@DE4DPOOL...Really? That is just wrong. This is about breast CANCER! This matter shouldn't be about pornographic/revealing/nude images. Your comment is beyond immature. Get a life.
Breast cancer...any form of cancer is no joking matter.

That's really cool. It's great to see comic book companies take up such important causes.

@AnditsOn1 More people suffer from starvation, than people are diagnosed with breast cancer, but they are both important causes!

Don't compare the quality of two different campaigns, just support them!

@tweeeeenkies I completely agree with you! I don't think some people realize that breast cancer, is cancer. Like any other form of cancer, if left untreated, it is life threatening!

Just wanted to point out that mastectomies are not what they used to be. Now they remove the tissue and put in an implant during the same surgery. They used to take the entire breast, but now it is so much more advanced. This is not to say that it is any less scarring emotionally or any less painful. Just wanted to say that a woman who has cancer can still have great breasts. This is what cancer research is all about!! I will be buying all 3 of these, if I can!! Love the Cap and Thor covers!! :)

Jimoakley, My mom died of cancer 2 years ago and I've beaten skin cancer, so I think I qualify for about as personal an experience with cancer as one can have. That said, shut the [frick] up. This is a positive thing and you grasp for something to be offended by? What a sac of shit...

The pink costume is likely only for this cover, much the way Cap's shield looks pink there.

This is really great (:
Any chance to promote awareness to a cause is a great thing.

Breast Cancer is something that affects both men AND women. So I'm really proud of Marvel (:
