      Yeah.
      It's a shame Puck isn't on it too, given the context of it, but it's a great cover nonetheless.

      Prostate cancer? I would've gone with breast cancer myself (but if Marvel is doing a whole thing about it this month...)

      edit: (... wait... why is Sasquatch white? Doesn't that mean it's Snowbird or Wanda Langkowski? Does that mean that they're raising prostate cancer awareness with a cover showing three people who can't even get it?)

      That is kinda cool though. Unfortunately, as a Civil War tie-in, I'll be skipping it.

      Sas is definitely brown/orange there.
      I think the white tint is lighting in order to make it blue.

      I'm reading the blue as a substitute for white, which it often is in comics.

      The blue is the colour for Prostate Cancer Awareness.

      That makes sense. I thought it might be.

      Hopefully Marvel's random and controversial requirements for your local store to even order this cover, does not prevent them from doing so. Better to double-check if you're really wanting it.

      ... one of the people posting in that article has Puck as a screen name.
      Just thought I'd mention it.

      I'm unfamiliar with Sasquatches physiology, but wouldn't he have a prostate? I think he should see his doctor... Walter should be nearing the 40s and those checkups should be regular now.

      Walter would, Wanda wouldn't, which I think was Mik's point when he saw the snowsquatch version.
