10 Hilarious Comic Mistakes You Won't Believe Were Published

10. Marvel Steals A DC Kiss - Marvel Comics #1000 (Cover Variant)

With the unveiling of Marvel Comics #1000, several variant covers were naturally commissioned, with perhaps the most exciting of them being a variant that was filled to the brim with some of the most iconic and eye-catching art that's been produced in the House of Ideas' eighty-year run.

Unfortunately, one of these pictures was not like the others - as the two men kissing on the comic's initial cover are Alan Scott, a Green Lantern, and his partner, Sam. As a Green Lantern, Scott is naturally a DC character, meaning that more than a couple eyebrows were raised when he appeared front and centre on a Marvel comic.

After many tweeted their confusion about the situation, the creator of the cover responded, apologising and stating that he'd mistakenly believed the pair were Marvel characters. The mistake was then fixed, with further copies replacing the pair with Northstar and his husband kissing instead.
