Power Girl #9 preview

[sherkahn]

Thanks to scans_daily, I have come to love me some PG. Here is me sharing the love as issue #9 kicks off and we see that the life of a super hero isn't that glamorous.Newsarama has the preview. Two glorious images behind the cut.





Hey Karen, the cat is trying to tell you something.




And how come this never happens to Clark more often? Looking forward to the rest of the book and how this plays out.

Because she is a woman and therefore prone to errors in judgment that result in unanticipated nudity? You can't blame the writers, they just draw on what they know from real life.

I was actually going to cite my thesis on how sexism is baked into the physical laws of the DCU, which creates a kind of narrative drag on female characters, causing their stories to lag behind their male counterparts.

But, yeah, sure, we can blame the writers, that works.

Although, to be fair, if I was sporting Peej's chest, I'd be "accidentally" topless a hell of a lot more often than she is.

"Oh, damn, I spilled my drink. You guys don't mind if I change out here, right? Hey, thanks for the refill. On the house, you say? Why, thank you!"

Or, more likely,

"What do you mean you're holding that Tiny Titan trade for someone else? Damn, worst day ever. First I can't find a clean bra and have to go without, then my fav shirt shrunk in the wash - this one, actually - and now... Oh, I can have that trade? Thanks, LCS guy!"

Any snide reply I make here only going to get me in trouble with the mods, so I'm just going to agree, if you had huge gazabbas it would be awesome to let guys stare at them for personal profit.

It sounds to me like those are one and the same thing anyway.

I demand parity! Either Dick Grayson or Gar Logan without a towel, NOW!

[jarodrussell]

Will Majestic do?

[nezchan]

I'm on board with that. A side order of Nightcrawler would be nice, of course, but I don't wanna be greedy.

The only other semi-naked dude I have in my digital collection is Thugboy from Empowered. How do you feal about half-Asian/half-white guys dressed in faux-gladiator attire?

[nezchan]

Nah, I'm not really fond of the art. Too inconsistent and lumpy.

I'm one of those "Warren is overrated" people. It's a sickness.

[jarodrussell]

I can't believe I shared my Splang with you. *gasp*

Feel so used... ;-)

[nezchan]

I had a bad experience with Warren once.

I read his version of Bubblegum Crisis.

"SPLANG"?!

[is crushed that this will never be accepted as a Scrabble word]

[retro_nouveau]

Agree! Parity NOW! My vote is for towelless Dick, please...

[nezchan]

Now that's an unfortunate wording...

OR IS IT?
