@7 Just like the old trope, ‘Covers always lie’ I bet there’s no fight in a comic shop either. 😉
Lizard doesn’t appear in the book. Humberto wanted to draw him and I said, yes.

Wait – you mean now they’re getting the LIZARD’s hair wrong too? Hehe!
What happens to the dreads… Reggae lizard is no more? what?
Looks like Lizard is going back to his original look. Maybe he will also reform from his child eating rap-o-vision.
Those really aren’t worth the money retailers would have to put in to get them.
Did they actually not capitalize the Lizard? Isn’t someone supposed to watch for these typos?
*Groan* The Lizard is back in ASM!
I wouldn’t be surprised if we see the Lizard ripping up something like SUPE—-, —EN LAN—- or -ATMA-
