Nice(r) Belt Buckle

Prompted by the recap at House to Astonish -- in particular the glowing praise of George Perez's last hurrah as penciller on the Avengers main title -- I dug out my copies of "The Nefaria Protocols" and noticed something a bit odd.

Remember Captain America's rather insulting response to Hawkeye's new costume?

Well, in the reprint in Marvel UK/Panini's Avengers United #27, the exchange is different.

That's a bit odd, no? Unless some editor at Panini also found the lettering a little suspect and decided to remove the "offending" bubble(s).
