The cheesecake is one example as to why they're unsuitable, but the over-reliance on idealised or two-dimensional female characters in the majority of superhero books must surely put potential readers off?Brigonoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05284882511370405132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25566450.post-53506822081922980832007-05-31T13:09:00.000-04:002007-05-31T13:09:00.000-04:00About Catwoman and Gulacy taking over from Cam Ste...About Catwoman and Gulacy taking over from Cam Stewart, the problem with that was it seemed at the time to be a deliberate move to get Selina back to the Balent-style T&A approach, and that's pretty much how Gulacy drew her. All the stuff you posted, going on joyrides, the whole Cooke-style approach, well, that went out the window until Will Pfiefer and Pete Woods came on board. I bought the first couple of Gulacy issues (and I generally like the man's art; his Master of Kung Fus were classic and he did a really good Jonah Hex a while ago) but all the fun leaked right out of the book when he took over.<BR/><BR/>So it seems to me that Idelson realized a mistake had been made, and set it right.

The closest thing to a complaint I might have had was that it just sort of ends, but then that's usually how situations resolve themselves in real life as well. I mostly just wanted more time with these characters, and more P.L.A.I.N. adventures.<BR/><BR/>I can see a certain streak of Vertigo-lite running through it, but at the same time I think there's enough stuff coming out that just "Girls having awesome adventures" to balance it out. It seems like a superhero GN could find a nice home here if they wanted.chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03023802756353551241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25566450.post-24416005990021401512007-05-31T11:53:00.000-04:002007-05-31T11:53:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.David Gallaherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01004233671388887032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25566450.post-75987782580927622182007-05-31T11:14:00.000-04:002007-05-31T11:14:00.000-04:00i guess that MAYYY work, I would prefer she was an...i guess that MAYYY work, I would prefer she was an Occasional Superheroine, though.sammy.the.khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06244600298489890263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25566450.post-58319932715831931842007-05-31T11:13:00.000-04:002007-05-31T11:13:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.sammy.the.khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06244600298489890263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25566450.post-77828420176980545062007-05-31T10:35:00.000-04:002007-05-31T10:35:00.000-04:00"supergirl doesnt need to be a friend of lulu"how ..."supergirl doesnt need to be a friend of lulu"<BR/><BR/>how about a Sequential Tart?Vergehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10083468076834391732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25566450.post-37338124988121331582007-05-31T10:30:00.000-04:002007-05-31T10:30:00.000-04:00but you are right, the big 2 do a lot of good.look...but you are right, the big 2 do a lot of good.<BR/><BR/>look at mike carey's x-men, and gail simone taking over wonder woman!sammy.the.khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06244600298489890263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25566450.post-86193092695147442642007-05-31T10:29:00.000-04:002007-05-31T10:29:00.000-04:00if i wanted an "indie" book, id read a fucking ind...if i wanted an "indie" book, id read a fucking indie book. this is supergirl!<BR/><BR/>supergirl doesnt need to be a friend of lulu.<BR/><BR/>i really hope they don't fuck it up!<BR/><BR/>i am sorry but someone's gotta defend it. it's one of my favorite titles, and now that johns has left teen titans to the shitter, i gotta hope this doesn't go down too!sammy.the.khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06244600298489890263noreply@blogger.com
