J. Scott Campbell’s Sexy Ms. Marvel Cover Sparks Fury

Artist Campbell took a most interesting assignment along with colorist Sabine Rich on a Marvel cover featuring a lady who’s been wronged for nearly 15 years, all for the sake of being pushed out of her original codename and costume for the sake of a politically motivated direction and character in her stead:

This certainly is quite pleasantly surprising on its own, though a title like “Dark Past” is cause for caution, no matter you look at it, based on the people now in charge of Marvel. Indeed, nobody should be foolish enough to trust them not to screw up again, even if they’ve shown signs and suggestions they’re finally willing to move away from the repellent directions they took with Danvers in the past decade. They’re also going to have to stop promoting the Muslim Ms. Marvel based on the background they gave her for political reasons, and it would do a lot of good if they’d remake the character into one that doesn’t adhere to the Religion of Peace. Until then, it would be best to put the character on the shelf for a long time to help get over the stench they left as a result. That Marvel, under Axel Alonso at the time, went out of their way to produce leftist propaganda like that only wound up increasing the damage, and undoubtedly, even now, much of said damage still remains and will continue to be there for as long as they’re still publishing under the ownership of Disney.

Campbell’s illustration of the real Ms. Marvel is something to appreciate, but let’s consider that it is still just a cover drawing, and Marvel’s books today can’t be judged by just the cover.
