Surely you're not more interested in the carton rather than the content? As well as, perhaps, but more than? Personally I don't care. I have a mixture of both kinds of jacket design in my Golden Age Captain America Masterworks for example. (Vol.1-3 and 6 in regular design, vols 4&5 in variant.) I bought whichever version was cheapest at the time. I'm going to spend more time reading the comics and looking at the art than I am looking at the spines.

Think of it like restoring an old car, sanding the rust, polishing and reprinting it. Instead of moaning and crying and insulting the Marvel folks who likely have zero say, do something positive for all fans, not just yourself and redo the cover so your precious spines match.....

But is it really necessary to seek out a solution that shouldn't be a problem to begin with when the majority of this board at the time was AGAINST the spine change.
