Hmmm. Hmmmmm.
For those unaware, Marvel is currently running a lavish variant cover program for its upcoming “America, Fuck Yeah!” Avengers series, USAvengers. Every state in the US will receive their own special variant cover for the first issue, assigning a Marvel hero to each one as that state’s very own Avenger. It’s seemingly at random, so you have, say, famous Brooklyn boy Steve Rogers (or, in the comics, famous Manhattanite) championing Delaware rather than New York.

But it’s also weird because there’s also a “state variant” for Canada. All of it. They get Deadpool, because of course they do.
And now my very own home country has one, in the form of newly revealed Captain Britain variant. Which, hilariously, is the most pre-ordered version of the cover out of any of the states available.

This is all very silly.
