Is this a reaction to DC's new 52?
I was hoping Marvel would kneejerk in response.

Looks like some of DC's pointless redesigns have rubbed off on the House of Idea(s).
Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. Comes into us at midnight very clean. It's perfect when it arrives and it puts itself in our hands. It hopes we've learned something from yesterday.

Plus, The Chameleon looks bored s**tless and just look at what they've done to poor Mysterio!!! You don't F**K with Mysterio!!!! He's perfect just the way he is----or, I guess, was.....Originally Posted by palitoy

Sometimes new ideas really do suck....
Oh then, what's this? Big flashy lighty thing, that's what brought me here! Big flashy lighty things have got me written all over them. Not actually. But give me time. And a crayon.

I don't see that much difference with Mysterio. Doc Ock may look interesting, but he doesn't seem to fit in well with the rest of the designs. Like they went too far with him.

I swear, If I ran Marvel I'd fire everyone who didn't draw right out of the old John Romita style guide.
What the hell did they do to Doc Ock?! He looks like THIS people...
Amen, brutha!
THAT is Doc Ock? I am so glad I gave up on Marvel a long time ago. Not that I still read DC anymore for that matter. Gave up on them last year. What a bunch of junk.
I'm guessing the green goo is suppose to be "ink?"
I'm now convinced that both companies are trying to come up with as many alternate versions of their main characters as possible to get it on record so we don't see another "Image" fiasco where they take existing characters, do a few minor tweaks, give it an obvious name, and put them in stories straight from the headlines.
I swear that has got to be what they are doing...it's got to be...
I'm not the Droid you are looking for...Move Along!
Fear the monkeybat!
Hmmmm....
I think the new print techniques available for comics is a mixed blessing. Over the last decade or so, the available techniques, colours and overall improved technical quality to the art allows the cartoonist a lot more in terms of what they can do. Unfortunately, I think this instills a tendency to overdo it, hence the weird, overwrought Warhammer 40K-esque designs.
