Image is getting a little ornery for April and doing some… depending on your perspective, I suppose you could call them either parody covers or homage covers.  But since it’s April Fools, I think you probably should err on the side of parody.  Let’s see what kind of variant monkey business they’re up to:

The debut issue of Plastic is going after Spidey’s wedding.

Invincible is striking a Spidergwen/Gwenpool pose and I do believe that a shot fired on Marvel NOW! relaunches.
I’m surprised there isn’t an “Image NOW! 5th Round” logo there.

I Hate Fairly Land is having a go at Southern Bastards

It looks familar, but I just can’t quite place the inspiration for this The Fix cover.

Is Curse Words doing a Dark Horse Presents look?

Now why would a Rick Remender book be looking like Uncanny Avengers?

And why would a Brian Buccellato book be looking like The Flash?

Rock Candy Mountain is sending up it’s regular cover, by swapping in Youngblood’s Badrock.

And the official PR with order codes:
