I didn't make note of this to slam Misty. I found her words troublesome. But I don't think insulting her is an appropriate response at all. Agreed, Rachel. I didn’t make note of this to slam Misty.

On the other, I don't find Jim Hammond's response any less so. On one hand, I think Misty Lee’s comment was stupid and offensive. On the other, I don’t find Jim Hammond’s response any less so.

This hoopla would never have happened. But they look like scare young teens. The outrage is heavily based in the characters' lack of strength in the image.

Why does Marvel get blasted everytime they do a cover but ppl just overlook DC? Would this cover be better if Shang Chi was in the middle of Black Cat and Coleen Wing? Because he's there bound to that pole too (you can see his arm poking out). This cover is obviously a spoof and meant to be a funny. As far as breasts go they are always revealed in those costumes so why complain about a little teasing now that there's antaenie feelers dripping slime. It's funny ppl! Lighten up!

First of all, I'm almost laughing as I type this because it should NOT be necessary but... I am short, platinum-blonde (natural) FF cup (also natural) with pale peaches-n-cream skin and deep pink lips, an arse that makes grown men weep and I LOVE working my sexxxy. I love short skirts, boobalicious cleavage and frills. So I hope I don't fit the "ugly, fat sex-hater" mould. And I. HATE. THAT. COMIC. COVER. I am deeply offended by it for a very simple reason. Those super-women do not look like super-women. They look like scared likkle girlies who just wanted to play superhero dress-up and oh no now it's all got a bit serious and won't some big strong man save us? Please don't let the tentacles touch my baaaad place... Whatever happened to strong, arse-kicking, intimidating women being crotch-throbbingly sexy? This is not "sexy superwomen caught in a trap" it is tentacle porn. And if that's what gets you off, well fine, but go and buy a tentacle porn book. My comics should not be porny. I should not have to forbid my little siblings from getting into comics out of fear they'll pick up something like this. Okayyy…
