Marvel features spider woman's ass on cover of issue #1

Http://io9.com/check-out-spider-woman-1-starring-spider-womans-ass-1624535918

First of all, even the dumbest, horniest teenage boy on the planet knows there's no fabric on this earth that could possibly cling to Jessica Drew's individual buttocks like that. She looks like she's wearing body-paint, and that's a big no-no for an industry still trying to remember that women exist and may perhaps read comics and also don't want to feel completely gross when they do so. As for the position she's in... christ. It's like you want The Hawkeye Initiative to get so furious they have brain aneurysms and die.

Of course, sexy comic art has its place, and Manara is quite good at it. But perhaps asking an erotic artist to draw one of your most popular superheroines for a mass-market cover wasn't quite a good idea. Also a bad idea: Receiving this cover and pretending like you didn't notice Spider-Woman sticking her bare red ass three feet into the air. Here's a simple rule: If it's inappropriate for a male character, it should also be inappropriate for a female character.

153. Can you alert

152. The alerter isn't aware that Nicki Minaj had done a photoshop on Instagram

339. Some people see nothing but the demons tattooed inside their own eyelids

343. "Explanation: Are you kidding? I want to see some Spider woman ass! Going to thread now" ROLF

3. He made her look deformed

15. It's a sci-fi artist's depiction of a human/spider hybrid.

25. Another Todd MacFarland raises her inept hand.

49. You think that's deformed?

68. Surely, you jest? Liefeld is a genius at drawing accurate humans.

74. And pouches. Always lots of pouches.

111. You're wrong

177. Touché

187. Captain america is carrying that pregnancy quite high. I believe

213. They aren't called superheros for nothing.

212. Ah, what is that sticking out of his chest?

258. Maybe it's a subliminal Deadmau5 shoutout?

331. This is my favourite...

337. As I said, a chimp with a Rapidograph could do better.

155. Yeah, but it's typical of decades of this kind of comic art depiction of women's anatomy.

200. Not a position a human body- that has been given super powers to fight villains with names like

4. The fabric is probably UMF

32. What, is there a store that sells it?

77. It's high-end stuff

79. I'm just surprised they got that detailed about it.

259. Comics geeks notice EVERYTHING

268. WOW... You Sir, have outclassed quite a bit of comic-fans that I know.

273. Thank you, sir.

80. Probably in the Baxter Building.

5. I find this creepy rather than erotic...

7. R. Crumb was a sick bastard

72. There's a really interesting (and sad) documentary about him from the 90s

105. What's a head shop?

115. ------

134. Thanks

202. Guess it's a generational thing.

226. Yep!

286. I have a really cool one

253. I live in the Seattle area

118. ...seriously?

122. Lol,

205. I thought it was like when a young women I knew once asked what a slip was

262. Omg yes

130. *silently weeps* n/t

263. A bong store. You can't say bong at the bong store though.

284. Seriously?

119. say what you will about the guy, he's not in the past tense yet.

19. What exactly do you think he's doing "right" here? nt

82. "The WHOLE UNIVERSE

106. I've lived next door to Wilson for 30 years. Before his head injury, we used to call him Ass Clay.

108. Met him at a signing in the bookstore I worked in

112. He gave me pork brains in a can that, after 20 years sitting on a shelf, burst open.

85. "that huge, muscular thing sticking out the back is more reminiscent of a spider's abdomen..."

6. Gross. That's all I see. Gross.

165. Get your glasses chaged

8. Eh, that's tame

130. silently weeps n/t

23. unsee
