I am posting again to agree with the sentiment that the complaints here are not really genuine, just responses in accordance with how some people think they 'should' react. Speed Racer said it all. But aside from my instigating feminists and sharing my personal picadillos, I did want a reply to my inquiry about this cover being comparable for you female readers who adore these heroines to see them demeaned by restraints with me not idolizing Batman anymore after seeing him in the same situation. (But worse, and way too often) I mean he's just not cool anymore after he already got hogtied or whatever. Also, to the posting regarding the combination of titilation and jeopardy being the worst horror of our era, worse than the Holocaust and the slave trade combined apparently: would it be better if the cover and the story around it was about women being restrained willingly for the purpose of titiliation? They could make it clear from the first glance it's all in fun. Would that be more appropriate for a comic book on a shelf often browsed by children? They could have smiles on their faces and be licking their lips as the tentacles are gently and seductively caressing their cleavage I suppose? You're sick! Go read some vintage Little Lulu or Donald Duck if you can't handle typical action/hero comic situations. If you knew enough to be offended in the first place by comparisons to a certain Asian kink genre, then look in the mirror before pointing a finger. It looks like you're projecting to me by even seeing a problem here in the first place. I didn’t read al the comments on this until after posting my prior comment, I just read the top 10 or so.

Then he was tainted. How bad-assed can he really be if lets himself get taken alive, and subjected to such humiliation and potentially worse? Is this the sentiment your expressing by being troubled about this comic book cover? If so, I would have found it still acceptable if the male hero was restrained as in this image, hands over head, and chain instead of rope. Just it's not too humilating for some reason, but practical and basic restraint. Second point is that when a protagonist is captured, it's just good drama and tension. You can have them triumph, or die, but here's a way you can have failure turned around or redeemed possibly (read always). It's not a kink or sexism when it's just a story elelment. Finally, I love the idea of a fantasy medium such as a comic book or animated series, which I would personally like to be a creator of even, where the females are constantly and continually in bondage predicaments... titilating ones. Only the females. If a guy is a prisoner, the restraints will be minimalist and not focused on. This is because it's just so damn hot looking to display women tied up, but also just the natural order...they're submissive. Just accept it's human nature, and embrace and celebrate it. I also want it to shove in the face of 'plitically correct' people who take this 'girl power' thing too. In reality the women heroins WOULD get tied up more likely, because they're physically weaker than males, so would be easily captured alive. Plus women are less likely to rather die fighting, they'd happily surrender and be tied up naked in public if need be and be happy they didn't get hurt too badly as the alternative. Muahh haa haa. I'm going to go play 'melodrama villain' with my sexy and submissive 'heroine' now.

Really, this conversation is a bit boring because every point and counter is predictable to the point where it would make efficient satire. Every argument just looks like an ad hominem rerun from the last time this happened, and you can see it repeated again next week when it happens again. The reason Marvel doesn't need to answer the critics is because the outrage doesn't feel genuine, it is finite, and you can't possibly make it last another week without just losing more faith in the human race, let alone one of the hobbies you love. I think the reason you'd never see this kind of cover with a male protagonist is because the mainstream companies understand that both their female readers and the mostly heterosexual (and probably slightly homophobic) male readers would recoil in horror. Whereas I feel sufficiently conditioned by comics and most other artistic mediums that this cover just makes me roll my eyes. But hey, Marvel's still got one ace up their sleeve. You've only seen the cover! What if the actual content inside of the issue is a direct contraposition to a cover they knew was sexist, and they've been baiting you all the entire time? Frankly, if that isn't true, (and yes, I'm sure it isn't.) they should scrap the inside story and art and make it happen just to be ambitious. It'll read like the S.C.U.M. Manifesto but with even more violence against men, a rousing tribute to fervid, determined sisterhood and an honest look at gender identity. If the last page doesn't end with more synchronous menstruation than the 4th week of Lilith Fair, than yes, I'll join you in burning Joe Quesada in effigy and we can go back to a Marvel thats run by business men in suits rather than genuinely creative types. Either way, I think you're just pretending to care. You're either going through the motions because you think you should be offended, or you should seek out some genuine hentai and the vast majority of pornographic comics, try to get skin a bit thicker so as not to bleed to death in a rain storm.

This cover image, though, crosses over into new territory. This is like a painting commissioned by a tits and slime fetishist.
