Milo Manara is known for his soft-core erotica; that is his artistic style and genre. Therefore, when it came out that Marvel hired him to produce a variant cover for Spider-Woman #1, many fans were not particularly happy. Crouched in an awkward sexualised position, Spider-Woman has her bum in the air, as if she were a baboon ready to mate. Frankly, Marvel made a really stupid decision hiring Manara to draw this cover, as Spider-Woman was pitched as a female friendly book, written so that everyone could enjoy it. Needless to say, Marvel caught some crap from their feminist readers for this blatant example of sexism.
