Re: Chick lit, starring... She-Hulk?

I don't really have a dog in this fight as I gave up on American major comics a long time ago. I can't stand the companies refusal to acknowledge that women do read their comics and in large numbers too. They refuse to change the way they do business (i.e. drawing the women in the incredibly unrealistic T&A poses, drawing the women using porn spreads as a reference for posing the women while their fighting, etc.) and then they whine about how much money their losing 'cause no one is buying their comics/they're losing market share every year (gee, I wonder why? I think even some men, the ones who aren't total neckbeards, are even tired of this shit).

I actually kinda like IM2, but I despise them for the scene where Black Widow changes into her costume in the back of the car while Happy, the limo driver, watches in the rearview mirror instead of concentrating on his driving the fuckin' car (the bad taste that leaves in my mouth is only partially washed out by her fight scene, which I love).

You can't deny that were influenced by what we consume and are bombarded w/daily by the media. Is it too much to ask for decent stories w/decent non-sexualized art for comics? Which a lot of *children* read and not just adults? Or just limiting the sexualized art to appropriate scenes (like bedroom scenes) instead of the fight scenes? Sure they might lose a few male readers, but a lot more women would suddenly be buying their comics. I'd go back to them and so would most of the women I know, but are too disgusted by their business to read them. They'd gain more than they would lose in the end.

These comics as the major force/seller in American comics have a lot more influence than you want to admit.
