Check out this concept art for Supergirl.
What are you doing DC?! Where is the absurdly long torso?! The supershort skirt? The rib cage? The globe-like breasts? The impossibly long legs? Are you trying to betray the fanboy community?
SHORTS?! I mean, how are readers supposed to anxiously wait for random shots of Supergirl’s “super bits” when they will be covered by shorts?! And Tony Bedard, the new writer wants her to “eat something” and cover up a bit more?! That’s it, DC, no more writers who have daughters! They get crazy ideas about how to write female characters.
And keep the Ian Churchill and Michael Turner style artists on your girl hero books! I mean, Renato Guedes draws regular looking legs, and now Supergirl looks fat…it’s like that girl who won American Idol a few weeks back! Okay, maybe fat is unfair. But totally chunky. If I wanted fat heroes, I would look in a mirror!
Why DC?! Why are you not listening to your loyal readers who want a skinny jailbait Supergirl?! Why do you betray them with such a travesty? What’s next?! Marvel stops making Hentai covers?

That.. American Idol thing was.. so… bad…
>.>;;
I RLY RLY RLY RLY RLY hate how some ppl think that not being skinny is FAT
I’m lucky I’m naturally skinny so I never had to rly deal with it, but I’ve even felt fat! >.>;;
I had male friends in HS who used to judge every girl like a piece of meat, and every girl that wasn’t like super thin was “fat” and one of them even said that they shouldn’t be allowed to wear smexy clothes or tight clothes cuz it’s disgusting and then went on to say (in all seriousness) that they shouldn’t even be allowed in public
But then again he also supported eugenics >:|
I hate reading comments about how Supergirl is fat now. >:|
*sighs*
Why is it that if she’s not Paris Hilton, she’s “fat”?
She’s not FAT!

Kudos to Mr. Guedes for giving us a Supergirl that’s more Hayden Panettiere than Paris Hilton.

The problem is, Bedard is only signed onto the book for 3 CROSSOVER ISSUES. Yet the interview at Pulse makes it look like he’s marketing for the ‘permanent writer’ gig without actually HAVING it yet.

Yeah…the three issues thing (for him and the artist Renato) is a bit of a bummer. Hopefully fan response is strong enough to either keep them-or to get people who want to continue what they start.

are you crazy man?
I think you need a girlfriend!
that new version of the supergirl is brilliant, genial!!! it is honest!the drawn is AWESOME, this guy is a great artist!
FAT? are you blind? man…you need a girlfriend!
you should be a fanboy with problems, or a frustrated artist.

I agree. I think Renaldo Guedes draws a great Supergirl and wish he were the permanent artist. I was mocking the fanboy “SHE’S FAT!!!” mentality, not endorsing it.
