Marvel's latest event, One World Under Doom, isn't just relying on a sad cliche of crossovers. As this Newsarama article boasts, it also features LGBT protagonists, such as a son of Dr. Doom, and an alternate world take on Killmonger, the villain from Black Panther's world:

"KILLMONGER STRIKES! Is this a sign of budding romance? Or MURDER?" reads Marvel's official description of Superior Avengers #5. "The pieces are falling into place, and the team is ready for their true mission to begin. But who is playing who?"

As stated in the solicitation text above, the assassin Kristoff is currently locking lips with on the cover is in fact an alt-reality version of Killmonger, who is one of Doom's secret enemies masquerading as one of his personal Avengers.

Years ago, most publishers usually knew better than to push these kind of shock-value visuals on the audience for the sake of publicity stunts. Now, they're literally shoving it down everyone's throats, and it's clear it'll be years before they're willing to cut it out. All that aside, the advertising of this story suggesting it's some kind of murder investigation is just one more thing wrong with it. We don't need those kind of themes being repeatedly pushed on the audience either, yet this practice sadly continues as well, and that too is just as bad.

Man, as this kind of marketing makes clear, Marvel as of today sure knows how to drag down the reputation of their earlier stories very badly. Making matters worse, they even allude to titles like Superior Spider-Man from the past decade, with Dr. Octopus in Spider-Man's body, and that was awful too.
