So the solution was to... what? Stay silent over something that was offensive/triggering/upsetting?
I had no idea what the Ultimate Brood was because I didn't care for Planet Hulk, but I did notice Shang Chi's hand, and it still didn't change the fact that it looked straight out of a hentai OAV. I'll even say that it would've looked a bit worse had Shang Chi been more notorious in the image, say, in place of Felicia, because in hentai, tentacles tend to be pansexual at times, and it still would've been an inappropriate cover for a PG book. That's why I lay blame on the editor, because editors are supposed to prevent this things from happening.
Also, while I'd heard a lot of good things of Heroes for Hire, none of the covers *ever* called my attention. It was a bit too much like She-Hulk. Cheeseycake covers that didn't had anything to do with the actual content. Both books were canceled due to low sales -even if She Hulk managed to re-surface- so maybe the blame wasn't on the people who complained about the covers, but on the covers themselves.
