Fred Slota Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Generations: Phoenix & Jean Grey #1/B Generations: The Unworthy Thor & The Mighty Thor #1/E Generations: Wolverine & All-New Wolverine #1/B Generations: Hawkeye & Hawkeye #1/B Generations: Banner Hulk & Totally Awesome Hulk #1/C They're connected covers. For a single source image. But, they don't all mutually connect edge-to-edge. Looked at one way, they connect by mutually overlapping halves in a 5-issue run. Looked at another way, 3 of them (1, 3, 5) connect edge-to-edge in a 3-issue run, while 2 of them (2, 4) connect edge-to-edge in a less-complete 2-issue run.

Steven L. Dasinger Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 I wouldn't consider this any type of *ptych cover due to the massive overlay. To me, to qualify for the *ptych' label, they should line up with no or very little overlap. It is one large image that has been cut up for the 5 covers.

Fred Slota Posted February 20, 2023 Author Share Posted February 20, 2023 Okay, so not 5-ptych. To be clear, though, would you consider 1-3-5 as a triptych? I would, if there were no issues 2 or 4. Would you consider 2-4 as a diptych? I would, if there were no issues 1, 3 or 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven L. Dasinger Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Not really. Instead of trying to create a 'classic' *ptych, the large image was just cut up. It just happened to be sort of close in one case and not really close in another (looking at just the 3 issues). Or maybe that's just me...

Fred Slota Posted February 20, 2023 Author Share Posted February 20, 2023 Yeah, this one bugged me, too. Havin decided what they aren't, I think it does merit some designation... 5-issue overlapping cover? 5-issue non-ptych cover? 5-issue unholy abomination that should be killed with fire?
