It looks like Marvel Comics #1000 is borrowing more from DC than just the Action Comics #1000/Detective Comics #1000 concept. The collage variant cover for Marvel Comics #1000 revealed in today's Marvel August Solicitations features an image of Earth 2 Alan Scott's first on-panel gay kiss from 2012's Earth 2 #2, which is, Bleeding Cool can confirm, not a Marvel Comic.

Here, you can see the cover, put together by artist Mr. Garcin, with the kiss featured near the top right:

And here's the page from Earth 2 #2, by artist Nicola Scott:

It's unclear how the image of this kiss ended up on Marvel's cover, but the news came to us via a Tweet from Symbiobro:

Lol, on this marvel comics #1000 variant, they have two gay guys kissing, but it's from a DC comics pic.twitter.com/Du8vnIfAJd — Symbiobro (@KaleeshArbiter) May 23, 2019

With another Twitter user, Bullbasaurus Rex, speculating that the kiss was meant to be one between Hulking and Wiccan:

Yeah, I think whoever made the collage meant to put this in pic.twitter.com/PRsKhnskLY — Symbiobro (@KaleeshArbiter) May 23, 2019

Better luck next time?

Marvel Comics #1000 hits stores in August… and someone is going to need to fix that before it goes to the printer.
