Anonymous asked: (Spiderwoman cover) It's her ass in the air. No one gets in that position unless they're about to have sex. The material of her suit is so thin it might as well be red skin. Every minor contour of her ass and back are sensually rendered. The reason you're getting shit for this is because she doesn't look like a super hero, she looks like a porn star playing dress up. If your artist has been doing the same thing for 45 years, maybe it's time to tell him to grow as an artist. A lot has changed.

Poor Spider-Man then. Who knew?

I like Breevort but this is nonsense. Reactions to images of male and female bodies are massively different. They appear in massively different cultural contexts and convey very different messages.

Tom’s attempt to appear blind to that is ridiculous and I suspect he knows it.

I personally wouldn’t touch a book that uses an image like the one Manara produced for Spider-Woman, even as a variant cover.

Tom needs to think about who he’s aligning himself with when he defends this rubbish.
