You’ve probably seen it all over by now. Marvel released the image of one of the Spider-Woman #1 covers by Milo Manara. After Marvel shook up the comic book world by announcing Thor would become a woman, and that Captain America would now be a black man, seeing this new Spider-Woman cover has been pretty frustrating. In case you haven’t seen it yet, here’s the cover:

Let’s just compare this to how we usually see Spider-Man portrayed:
After Marvel made so many awesome strides this summer, it’s really frustrating to see the comic giant publish a cover like this. Instead of portraying her as strong and super-human, like the Spider-Man drawing I’ve posted here, Spider-Woman’s highly sexualized and the most remarkable thing about her appears to be her perfectly sculpted ass…
There’s so much wrong with it. The first thing I said after looking at it was, she looked like a penis.
Oh my word! That’s something I can’t unsee. Ha!
And you’re right, it’s pretty terrible.
I don’t generally care about comics, but now I’m PISSED.
I actually kind of like Milo Manara’s art, in context. But if I want booty porn, I’ll look at booty porn. I read comics for stories of awesome heroes kicking ass and taking names. Lame Marvel. Lame.
Exactly. If this was one of his erotic works, that’d be one thing, but this is not that. Definitely lame!
Whoa, that’s some pretty crazy definition on her butt. @_@ Her spine seems to be all sorts of wonky, too. C’mon Marvel, you’ve been doing so well lately!
Haha! No kidding! Her back must HURT after crawling around like that!
