The image just depicts Monkey Joe whining about how the story using a flashback sequence within a flashback sequence.

From my understanding of the trope, the page image should be of a scene where the character is clearly addressing the audience.

I think that would just be Breaking the Fourth Wall. I think the current is okay (although it could stand to be a bit bigger and better quality), but if there's an actual panel that has him making such commentary outside of what's actually happening, that would work better.

For reference, thatother1dude replaced it with this pic of Rose Quartz doing an Aside Glance, which was later removed for not being an example. I restored the Squirrel Girl pic yesterday.

I am well aware of that incident with the picture being changed without consent, which is why I am avoiding that mistake by asking the picture to be removed or replaced in a thread before taking action.

The character in current image is not addressing the audience behind the fourth wall and hence would be closer to Meta Guy. What about first panel of Deadpool. It has another character not seeing the audience. On the downside we already have Deadpool on Medium Awareness.

Maybe if we used an image source from something other than Marvel Comics.

The She-Hulk example seems okay. I was hoping the new image wouldn't involve a Marvel Comics character, but beggars can't be choosers. I'm fine with it.

[up][up] That works fine; no reason for it not to be a Marvel character.

Bumping. I'm good with the suggestion as well.
