*Looks at the second scan*

Yep, that's a butt, all right.

Yeah... every panel with Mum-Ra and adult Wilykit in this is... well... what most Star Wars fanboys have to say about the Prequel Trilogy....

[beyondthefringe]

Hands up everyone who ever wanted to see grown-up WilyKit in slave clothing, bathing Mumm-Ra.

No one? Just the one artist?

Yeah.

JFC. Did the instructions read "See how little of her ass you can cover while not technically crossing the line into actual nudity and pornography" or something?

Because if so, mission accomplished and please don't let either the writer or the artist unaccompanied near children under 15...

Its Ed Benes, the man LOVES his ass shots, I know of at least 1 instance in his BOP run where they had to do some work on Black Canary via extra shading to tone down the amount of backside showing.

It gets worse later on. Mumm-Ra zaps Wilykit in a panel where her body improbably twists to give both a boob shot and a shot of her legs spread directly toward the reader.

I've generally considered Wilykit and Wilykat to be the fan insert characters of the original show - they were about the age of the target audience, so it was easy for little kids to put themselves in their roles and enjoy the ThunderCats adventures. Viewing the characters from that perspective makes an already terrible series even worse.

Unsure they should be around anyone 15 or over, as well.

Lost in dialogue

[sisterofbloomerjunior]

"Then now we fight." ? Does that sound clunky to anyone else?

[silverzeo]

Remind me again... it was Bengali's skeleton where Lion-O got Panthro's numchucks, right?

[garth2the2ndpower]

Sadly, yes. It sucks how this series disregards the newer members of the Thundercats. Lynx-O was always my favorite.
