(Sarcasm, of course.)

…a Spider-Man/Red Sonja mini…

"Geez! Look at this! Claremont and Byrne only did
one issue with this! I'll bet we could milk it for
at least four!"

That's one of the many things wrong with Marvel today, really; If
they're not crapping over character's histories and other creators'
work (ie, JMS' Spider-Man crap), then they're dragging out stuff that
could be done in one or two issues into 4 to 6 issues (ie, much of
Bendis' work) or writing characters completely out of character (most of Civil War, especially anything written by Jenkins).

I wish that "Marvel today" was completely accurate, but unfortunately this is nothing new. Recall my cover for MARVEL PREVIEW, in which I had She-Hulk scoffing at the current regeim at Marvel getting a Summer Crossover Event out of "Atlantis Attacks" -- something Stan and Jack had handeled (better) in a single FF Annual (the first).Some, I suppose, might even suggest this goes all the way back to the "expanded" version of the FF/Spider-Man tussle that appeared in the first Spider-Man Annual.

sorry for the sidetrack here.
I find it funny that "Marvel" "despises" Byrne, yet they keep dragging out stuff he's worked on in one form or fashion.
oh, and the cover in question:

The PNG version is even more fun!
JB, what do imagine Sonja's bikini is made out of? Coins? It hasn't looked
like chainmail for a very long time...

I wonder, can She-Hulk tan, and if so, what would it look like?

Red Sonja's costume looks like scale-mail to me.

To JB:
Your cover was prophetic. I well remember FF Annual #1, and can call up
specific panels in my mind (okay, it helps that I was a kid when it first
came out). I'd mercifully forgotten all about "Atlantis Attacks" until your
mention of it. Like just about every other "event" running through
multiple issues, it was a waste of time and money. "Crisis" and "Secret
Wars" have much to answer for. I think it would be nice if every writer
and artist working in the field today had to spend a couple of years doing
six or eight page, complete in one issue stories. You know, the kind
Kubert, Eisner, Kirby, the EC boys and so forth cut their teeth on.

I agree, Robert!
Plus, it would be nice to be able to plot a year or so ahead, as Chris and I used to on X-MEN, or I used to on FF or ALPHA FLIGHT, without fearing that editorial will hand down a crossover "event" and gut my stories (as happened on BLOOD OF THE DEMON).
