After looking at hundreds of comic book covers, it becomes quickly apparent that not every cover is 100% original. Whether done intentionally or even underhandedly, there’s something about uncovering these “swipes” that adds a new element of fun to reading and collecting comics.<\/font><\/p>\n

In 1996, the X-Men <\/strong>line of comics brewed up a cool story with a mystery villain named Onslaught<\/strong>. This storyline quickly grew into a mega-event spanning across almost all of the Marvel titles at the time. It wrapped up ages-old plotlines (Who was the infamous X-Traitor?<\/em>) and set up a whole new alterniverse (the Heroes Reborn <\/em>line of books). The books featured below are the bookends to the Onslaught <\/em>saga. I think it was a neat choice to use a cover swipe here to show the changes in the character’s look and also to show that, initially it was just the X-Men … but, in the end, it took the all of Marvel’s heroes to defeat him.<\/p>\n
