Marvel and Midtown Comics pulled its “Invincible Iron Man #1” variant cover featuring Riri Williams off comic racks on Thursday after fans criticized the drawing for sexualizing a teenage girl.

The decision comes just one day after Marvel revealed the cover, which quickly drew criticism over J Scott Campbell’s artwork due to claims that it appeared to over-sexualize the teen.
