Bungled web: Marvel issues a press release apologizing to Capcom and Japanese artist Shinkiro for releasing an incomplete version of Shinkiro's cover for "Spider-Man Unlimited" #1. Watch as C.B. Cebulski falls on his sword:

"I feel terrible about this. We've done a great disservice to Shinkiro, his art and his reputation by releasing a piece of his unfinished art. Marvel is going to do everything in its power to correct the mistake and see that the actual finished Spider-Man Unlimited #1 cover is distributed through the proper channels and give it the exposure it so rightfully deserves. Again, Marvel's apologies for this error go out to Capcom Co., Ltd. and Shinkiro. ..."

Compare and contrast the images (the wrong one is on the left):



Frankly, I think it looked better before it was finished. What's going on in the background, Armageddon?
