2. Take one of the Avengers "prints" sold to retailers to give away as part of an Avengers promotion. Maybe give them a dollar for one at least, in light of what you're about to do.

3. Realise that the "print" is, rather than an actual print, basically just the gatefold cover. With cover markings and everything.

5. Remove the staples from the rest of the comic.

6. Attach the Avengers "print".

7. Get a stapler and staple through the comic, through the holes made by the original stapler.
