Date: 2012-05-15 11:09 am (UTC)I do love comics about models doing heroics, but the cover to Looker puts me off (that plus the backstory explained by cleome upthread). Also, I don't get her leggings.
no subject
Date: 2012-05-16 01:02 am (UTC)"Hello, gorgeous and highly successful pro supermodel. We will give you phenomenal powers that will save the world!!... IF you will consent to appear to all who see you as just an average-looking adult woman!"
Do you think she'd agree to it? And do you think Editorial would let her continue to be heroic and likable and stuff?

Interesting, but I was honestly thinking more of a female character who wasn't changed into a form that read to others as "monstrous." More like one who just looked average. (So, overweight? Sure, most women are heavier than supermodels, but not shaped like Big Bertha IRL.) As opposed to the beauty queens we're frequently told are meant to represent our "average" selves.
Not that "monster" stories are all bad, but I think they're somewhat different in character.

Date: 2012-05-16 11:11 pm (UTC)So I think it's sort of striking as an image, but I can quite see how the sleaziness is off-putting. It does suggest that the back-story is likely to make me annoyed and queasy.

Your way is definitely more interesting, and I shall re-file the picture in my memory!
no subject
Date: 2012-05-17 01:05 pm (UTC)Most likely gender politics have nothing to do with the "contested gaze" in this picture, and it's all a visual pun based on the fact that she's called Looker, but what the hey!
