Fear Itself: The Fearless 4&5

[stubbleupdate]

is... sexy?

Now, I know that, as Christina Aguilera says, you are beautiful, no matter what they say. However, I'm not sure that the world is ready for cheesecake art of the Red Skull's daughter.

I'm just going to try really hard to ignore Sin, lest the abyss gaze into me also, but that musculature on Valkyrie is very appealing and I wouldn't mind starting a few fights for War.

[darkknightjrk]

Pin-up art of Sin...you know, I think this was what the "paper bag over the head" thing was invented for.

Also, tangently related--I got the first "issue" of Liberty Meadows as one of those dollar issues. Really fun stuff, he should make more of these. :D

[halloweenjack]

Can Frank Cho not draw ginormous jahoobies on any female past puberty?

[korvar]

Jahoobies. New favourite word.

[his_spiffynesss]

Well, Death doesn't seem too top heavy...

[halloweenjack]

Baggy robe.

[timgueugen]

Shouldn't that be "Can any comicbook artist...?"

[halloweenjack]

No. John Byrne, for example, deliberately drew Kitty Pryde as a gawky, flat-chested teenager, despite being an artist who isn't afraid to give his women bodacious ta-tas, to put it mildly.

You know, this piece can totally be interpreted as a critique of cheesecake in comics. I know I'm reminded of Renaissance and vanities. Here, you have all of the elements of mainstream comics/blockbuster movies that sell: weapons, promises of action, violence and titillation, beautiful women... and one of them has a skull for a face (not to mention the skull the angel statue is holding).

It's probably just me, but I can't dislike it. It's very striking.

[shadowpsykie]

you know what? you may have a point. it does seem to have a renaissance feel to it....
i would also like to note, the skulls in valkyirie's Boots.

[darkblade]

I want to believe this but this is the same company that has a new female ghost rider with Hellfire boobs presented unironically...

[biod]

It was stupid to the point of facepalm, but at least the internal logic was consistent.

[darkblade]

Neither of the male Ghost Riders felt the need to unzip their jacket to showoff hellfire flesh. I would have been alright if she kept them covered.

[biod]

It could be some sort of devious dare. "Just try and stare at my tits for long."
The tits stare into you also.

[darkblade]

Like Powergirl's boob window but with more of a chance eternal damnation in addition to the beating.

[biod]

Exactly. The boobs know. They have seen all your misplaced wolf whistles, they know that time you went home with Jane from accounting even though you knew she was a bit too drunk to make that kind of judgement, they have watched you watch your porn.
You dare gaze upon her unsheilded bossom and they will judge you.
Judge you, I say!

[heckfire]

PENANCE BOOBIES.

God, I hope they don't have an equivalent action to the infamous scene from the new GR trailer...

[darkblade]

I hope the movie doesn't actually have something equivalent to that scene. In fact I hope nothing ever anywhere has anything equivalent to that scene.

[biod]

I am getting way too much milage out of that quote.

[halloweenjack]

Mmmmaybe. Despite what I said about Cho above, it is a slightly different style for him.

[aaron_bourque]

What is Valkyrie holding?

Oh, it's a giant fucking hammer. Should've been holding that the other way. Or have more of the head in frame.

[harpers_child]

1- ms. red needs a better bra. she looks to be about an F and doesn't have enough support. shotguns make terrible underwires, but i understand the impulse to have something holding those up.

2- the jodhpurs look odd with boobs that large. get a minimizer if you're attached to the pants. if you're attached to the boobs go with a straight leg.

3 - suspenders don't work like that on boobs that large. unless she put them on and didn't move in any way afterwards they'd have slipped to the side.

4 - dear valkyrie, i want to lick your arms. call me.

[crabby_lioness]

Actual comment from my husband, "Ah, another member of the "I Can't Draw Boobs" Club."

[biod]

You'd think people who undoubtably stare at tem for so long would draw them better.

[crabby_lioness]

Which sums up the difference between STARING and PAYING ATTENTION.

[aaron_bourque]

ms. red needs a better bra.

I don't think she wearing a bra at all.

dear valkyrie, i want to lick your arms. call me.

I do wish more artists were capable of drawing muscle definition on women.

[halloweenjack]

I do wish more artists were capable of drawing muscle definition on women.

Indeed. I like some of the versions of Power Girl that give her at least a bit more definition.

[bariman]

When did Sin get the redface? She used to be a redhead, but not like that!

[thanekos]

She had the misfortune to be at ground zero of her dad's giant robot body exploding. As you can see, a lot of it got in her face.

[biod]

I'm pretty sure Sin got that toned compensating for the grotesque weight of that rack.

[harpers_child]

thanks for making those of us with large breasts feel more awkward than usual. i don't think grotesque is the word you want to be using.

[biod]

I sincerely apologize, it was a very poor choice of words.

[drexer]

You can either gaze at the one on the left or avoid looking at the one of the right.

What will you do?

PS: I choose the second.

[stolisomancer]

That's one of the better pictures of Valkyrie ever.

[proteus_lives]

Go Cho!

[mullon]

That is not fair.

[selke]

After watching the Doctor Who episodes with the Weeping Angels, I'm just going to close this quietly and not blink.

But damn, I love his art.

[pyrotwilight]

*Looking at the left* Why hello there Val- *looks to the right* GRAAAAAAAH.

May Frank Cho draw Valkyrie forever.

[tacitoz]

I looked at this and went like "what, female Thor and female Red Skull?" until I read the comment XD
if it weren't for the enormous boobs, this would be quite pretty

[thedropout]

The statue of War is the most striking thing here, I think. I would love to see female characters drawn like that, and less like the other two. Just the tiny bit of face we see is lovelier than either of the characters.
