The outfits don't bother me, and WW was my HERO in the '70s!! And she is still cool, ha! I have to say when watching "descended from the gods" movies, I do enjoy The Rock in less then full coverage. :-) DebAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2882545333364701877.post-54567453120803566402014-07-17T20:30:23.949-04:002014-07-17T20:30:23.949-04:00Have you seen the new Batgirl outfit? http://www....Have you seen the new Batgirl outfit? http://www.tencentticker.com/projectrooftop/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/BATGIRLMODEL2.jpg Super cool and not objectifying at all really. As much as I can think of the comics I read Wonder Woman and Supergirl are pretty much the only ones without pants. I agree that it's not that practical, but when you are a descendant of Zeus or basically a god from another planet, are pants really that necessary? :) Chris Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02606284377430740523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2882545333364701877.post-56940474651352236312014-07-17T13:12:08.296-04:002014-07-17T13:12:08.296-04:00One reason graphic novels might be seen as juvenil...One reason graphic novels might be seen as juvenile is that a LOT of them, such as the ones featured above, are very much middle-school boy level regarding women. Look at the featured pic - all of the guys are completely covered, as is reasonable when needing protection from lots of burning things, etc. The woman? Yeah, not so much. While this doesn't OFFFEND me, it also doesn't really ATTRACT me to read them. Just some food for thought. ENJOY your comics - really not trying to take that away from you!!!! :-) DebAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2882545333364701877.post-28973906371257640832014-07-17T10:49:07.445-04:002014-07-17T10:49:07.445-04:00I transitioned to digital comics on the ipad a cou...I transitioned to digital comics on the ipad a couple of years ago and have never looked back. Less messy, easier to keep organized and (with cloud storage) easy to carry your entire collection around with you.
