J Scott Campbell Created Fake Covers to Keep The X-Men Gold #30 Spoiler from Marvel Staffers

Published Tue, 19 Jun 2018 08:30:23 -0500

Yesterday Bleeding Cool ran a major spoiler story regarding tomorrow's X-Men Gold #30. I am led to believe to expect a major media to run it officially, exclusively shortly. So if you are adverse to such spoilers, may I suggest you get offline soon?

Because despite Marvel blowing it all in a headline in a few short hours, they did go to extraordinary lengths to keep the big twist a secret. Which included commissioning covers by J Scott Campbell that will never see the light of published day, just so that staff members at Marvel wouldn't have a clue as to what exactly was going on.

Having a cover to a comic by Campbell is something most could only dream of. But to commission one with the aim of not using it? What a waste, what a waste…

X-Men Gold #30 is published tomorrow by Marvel Comics.
