you’ll see what happened when the afformentioned Citizen Steele image from my much-beloved AFRAID OF COCK post finally hit shelves this past Wednesday. You’ll need Adboe Flash to view it.<\/p>\n

What does this mean? DC’s really only interested in shying away from controversy when the mood suits them, I guess. Or, you know, COCK. Apparently the reason given for deflating Power Girl’s boobs (see that same link) was that they needed to fit another character on the cover, not that they were too big in and of themselves… The reason why the cock had to get shrunk down? I’m all in favour of rampant speculation. Go to town, really.<\/p>\n

I’m not too broken-up over Citizen Steele’s dehancement<\/em>, just that the thinking behind it is ripe for disection, and it’s somehow the same thinking that’s behind decisions like this:<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

On the\u00c2\u00a0left there, that’s the solicitation cover for SHOWCASE: BATGIRL, the first of DC’s cheap reprint volumes to feature a female lead character. On the right? That’s the cover it shipped with. Spot the difference.<\/p>\n

Do we all know what kind of industry we have now? Are we all aware so I can stop getting death-threats from retards when I dare to suggest a comic book cover is mysogynist? No? I’m just a humourless jerk who hates everything you love? Okay then<\/em>. Just as long as the dissonance is cognative, I guess that’s alright?<\/p>\n
