WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN??

Tom Brevoort has a Formspring and he's actually pretty good at answering questions.

In his most recent batch of replies, he tackled things like the recent CATWOMAN/STARFIRE controversy and why Gambit isn't invited to more poker games.

"Marvel does a better job of avoiding it..."? What Marvel books has that person read? What about Dark Avengers where Moonstone was being passed around by all the guys on the team? What about how Tigra was treated much, much earlier in West Coast Avengers? And what about Emma Frost and her various clothes (and lack of) throughout the years?

Aw now, I wouldn't go that far. I mean the Avengers books have been pretty good to women so far. Just look at what they've done with one of the founding members the Wasp...

...

Well, not the best example. Well, there's Ms. Marvel! They never screwed her over! Well, except for that time she was raped....

......

Well, what about Scarlet...Witch...

I'm just gonna go sulk in my corner now.

	What Marvel books has that person read? What about Dark Avengers where Moonstone was being passed around by all the guys on the team? That's not what was happening. That was Moonstone passing all the guys on her team to her. Agency: it matters. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Expand) (Hide 21 comments) (Show 21 comments)

	To be fair, it was Moonstone passing herself around. I mean that's not really better, but... (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Expand) (Hide 2 comments) (Show 2 comments)

	I agree except on Emma. She does all that on purpose. She had plastic surgery, she wears clothes like she does because she wants to look like that. She's supposed to be absurdly showy and dress too sexy. Rarely does she ever actually act like it. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	She's traveling with Thanos' former pet chaos sprite. I'd say she's set. :D (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Expand) (Hide 2 comments) (Show 2 comments)

	But it's alright for Spider-Man to have done...well, pretty much everything after OMD, Tom? (I was going to make a list, but then I realized that would take too long) (Reply to this) (Thread) (Hide 2 comments) (Show 2 comments)

	It was a DC focused question and Spider Man was not mentioned at all. I am not exactly sure where you are coming from with this. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Expand) (Hide 1 comment) (Show 1 comment)

	Are you going to credit Disney's influence on the arc where Wolverine killed all of his illegitimate children? (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Expand) (Hide 1 comment) (Show 1 comment)

	The part about Marvel taking the issue better or not..is disputable. Sounds more like a comment out of a Marvel fanboy. Both good and bad examples can be easily pointed out at both companies. Naaaah, I'd say "Vertigo" maybe does a much better job than both these. (Yes! Yes, I know it's part of DC/WB, but I was speaking publishing-brand-wise) (Reply to this)

	Focusing on the scans (specifically scan 1 panel 1): The Kree have obviously played the Gears of War games. (Reply to this)
