Okay, so I've admitted that I find myself actually kind of liking the new X-Force series, but what I'm not a fan of is the 'bloody' variants that the book's putting out, so the cover to #2, for example goes from this...

...to this:
It's basically the same cover with slight changes in poses, more blood and more grimacing.But now, with the reprint of #1-3 in a one issue format (at $4.99 about $4 less than the individual issues; thanks a bunch, guys) there's the puppies, rainbow and pixie dust variant of the same cover:

Aw, look - everyone's all happy and smiley. Except Warpath, who's inexplicably still grim, presumably because he's a hard bastard.
Even Rahne, who get shot not only with bullets but also with a crapload of heroin inside the book, is smiling at the puppies and rainbows.
Seriously: what the hell?

Fear the puppies. FEAR THEM!!!!
I love the rainbow and puppies cover. I'm not sure what possessed Marvel to do it, but it tickles me pink. Pink, I tell ya!
