I could go for a figure of that variant Captain America cover 🙂

these covers are awesome!

and I agree with JayC, I would buy a Demonic Cap, or even a Demonic Doom.. heck even that Spider-Man or Phoenix or Black Widow

very cool, but yet again as Marvel comics do now a days, the covers (especially variants) have zip to do with whats inside the book, which I think throws off casual readers who will be like wHoa! cap gets possessed by demons in this issue...only to find out no... but however no hate though

Wow.  While some of the designs are kinda cool, it seems like a pretty blatant ripoff of the whole "Dark Knights" thing at DC.  Though apparently not attached to any particular storyline.

Gurihiru aren't particularly good at making those Power Pack kids look evil, and I'm just fine with it.

Yeah, it screams Dark Knights/Metal ripoff

The X-factor variant looks like a vampirella version of marvel

I kinda wish more of them had gone the way of the Spider-Man design, in the sense of taking the very concept of the character and turning it on its' head for horrific effect.  Most of them are just kinda generic "Demon/Zombie" versions of the characters. 

But I suppose that could have gotten a little too graphic (or in the case of Captain America politically polarizing).  As it is that Spider-Man is grade-A nightmare fuel if you're any kind of Arachnophobe.
