I'm not into comic books or illustrations but this one peck my interest. It looks like tentacle sex to me. I don't know much about tentacle sex. The tentacles are between their legs dripping white liquid over their bodies especially their breast. Just writing that sentence made me think that something is wrong with this cover. No it doesn't explicitly suggest rape but it is extremely implied. Do you think that the women are actually enjoying being molested by big nasty tentacles? No, so that means it is not consensual. Another part of the cover that suggest rape is that the monsters and tentacles desire is to dominate the victims which is the primary cause of rape.

Just my opinion!!!!

Looks like tentacle hentai/manga sex to me. And I've seen a lot of tentacle hentai/manga. The thing is, the sex and rape are implied. Almost all tentacle hentai/manga is non-consent, so that's is a just and reasonable conclusion.

I still dont get the rape part. Too me it looks likes somebody got there ass handed to them in a fight. They more likley conclusion that can be drawn fr0m the story is that they are about to be eaten by some creature

Bondage, the bleeding cuts, the voyeuristic clawed figures in the background, individually, they could be dismissed, but taken together all suggest violence and rape.

Maybe you can help me out without something. I see the sexual suggestion, but I done see the rape or the violence

I think this cover does cross the line. I don't remember seeing a cover from Marvel that shows so much suggestive rape and violence. Covers like this are expected from Dark Horse, Image, and even Heavy Metal. But this seems uncharacteristic of Marvel.
