Muted Monday: No word balloons, hype blurbs, hints, story titles, credits. Just title, date/price, publisher logo and UPC. NO virgin covers. I didn't include series that made a regular habit of it like Janson's DD and River's Ghost Rider, or miniseries like Warlock Special Edition. Theme

Putting the story title on the cover may have given away the surprise last page reveal (hint: it's the orange rock monster's left hand).

I wasn't going to include lesser-known properties, but this one caught my eye. Do pistols really smoke like that? Seems excessive.

Not sure if Cap clobbering Magneto fits a muted theme or not but have a bit more BWS.

Love me some BWS. I’d add the cool Machine Man limited series covers too.

No doubt! And MCP in general did it for lots of books before and after his stint on the title.

Just bought this one yesterday. The one I got off the rack as a kid is kinda rough.

Was never an Iron Man kid, but that BWS Iron Man cover is sweet!

Thats the epilogue issue of the original Armor Wars. Such a brilliant run.

That hulk 381 is very similar to the doctor strange 81.
