The cover is rightly considered a classic. Its layout is counterintuitive--usually a bird's-eye view diminishes figures, but this image is about building the figures up. It was a signal this League would do things differently, and what sells it is the tension between that usual rule and a group of figures who look like they can handle anything, including whoever or whatever is daring to view them from above.

( Could it be...the reader of this comic looking down on it on the shelf? 'Yeah, you BETTER buy it, geek! Or we'll MESS YOU UP.' )

Are the straights okay? Hal Jordan is, to my knowledge, straight, and he is not okay. Jo Mullein isn't straight but isn't doing that well either, frankly. It's the Absolute Universe, folks! Nobody is okay. -- Al Ewing

This is another issue of All-New Venom that got leaked ahead of time, because there's a big character beat in here for MJ which has been, ahem, long-awaited in some circles. Looking at the reaction, I'm halfway between utterly fascinated and totally bemused. I'm sure I'll talk more about this once the dust settles. Are the straights okay? I think we leave them in a healthy place? Well, maybe not Doctor Octopus. Are the readers okay? I honestly have NO IDEA. -- Al Ewing
