Did anybody notice who is on the cover?

Not sure who you mean, the Batman dressed character, the fat lady, the Nick Fury clone thing, elevator girl, more or less dead guy.... I'm guessing you mean the fat lady, as in Pink Pearl.

Not the real PP, of course. Anybody following the series knows that they (the Secret Avengers) discovered a hidden city full of androids (or life-model-decoys, or genetic copies; something like that. It's a weird series, what can i say?) that resemble heroes and villains. And that want to take over the world, naturally.

Damn good eyes there Mike!

Confirmed by Rick Remender on Twitter as PP!

Yeah, except, it ain't. That would be like having somebody say that Nick Fury is in a comic, when in fact it is a Life Model Decoy only; sort of false advertising. It's not Pink Pearl, it just looks like her; not unless they pulled a HUGE switch that i haven't read about yet.

Reading through issue's #29 & 30, it's definitely actually her rather than an LMD

Oh? I stopped reading at issue 28. I had assumed that they had picked back up the plotline of issues 22-25 (after the Phoenix interlude in issues twenty-six - twenty-eight), where there were fighting a secret society of Adaptoids (that came about from the World War II UK Weapon Plus program titled "Descendant") whom can (and do) take the forms/powers of super-villains and super-heroes.

if you are reading the series still, is Gabriel Hardman still doing the art? *Shudder*. It was his work that was the main reason I quit the series; AWFUL!

I don't know who's doing it, but it is awful. Scratchy and sketchy, and coloured by dragging it through a mud puddle.

Yup, that'd be Hardman! And Bettie Brettweiser had been doing the colours (such as they were).

[Phil]

Well, even if it's a LMD it's still an LMD of her!
I just wanted to make sure it wasn't Big Bertha or someone.

Some preview images of #29 here:

Good to see Art Adams is still working.
Is that Nick Fury in H.R. Giger's Serpent Crown?

Strange that Pink Pearl's been in stuff - this and those oooold Captain America issues. (389-391) She's obscure.

But, yay!

Yeah, it's bizarre to think she's been in more issues of Captain America than Alpha Flight!
Secret Avengers 29-31 and maybe more should continue that trend.

Between Talisman in Doctor Voodoo, AoA Wildchild in Uncanny X-Force and now Pink Pearl in Secret Avengers, Rick Remender's becoming quite a dab hand at cameoing our Alphans!

Coloured/Lettered Preview is up now. Issue #29 is onsale next week:
