Error has been fixed.
Still, most comic book fans are socially awkward man-children. Her book should be flying off the shelves.
Then again, those same comic book fans don’t take kindly to someone who makes it known that she is what they fantasize about, but will never have.

On her behalf - she’s agitated. People often to mis-peak when they are.

For the record, he runs around naked so she should be too offended by his observation.

Hey, she’s Celtic. Maybe that’s how the sentence comes out in that language structure. Of course, I could be to wrong.

If there were more gay (and/or female) comic book fans, Wonder Wom … I’m sorry, Ms. Amazement would probably sell a lot better.

Really Chikuku? That’s a new one to me… dorks, nerds, etc., yea sure. But gay? I don’t think the average is any different than normal life.
But if her sales are terrible dressed like that, image how bad it would be if she didn’t.
But good Marx bros. whit on this one Phil.

For DC Universe Online they hiked up Wonder Woman’s bathing suit bottoms even more to show more crotch.
Thing is Ms. Amazement is drawn as a “strong female super hero” would actually look, and, if we were to get into the technicalities of it, that just wouldn’t sell. The ‘primary target audience’ for such comics tend to go for comics where the women are basically pornstars with some muscle definition drawn on top of them. Rather annoying, which is why I don’t really read them. But that’s what I see when I go into the comic book store.

Jade, you are CORRECT, ma’am. Comics women are fantasy icons exactly like porn stars, only with more character and actual dialogue. Easy to see if you just read the male comments here and in Yenni.

As I mentioned yesterday (but too late for return comment), ancient Celtic warriors went into battle naked, painted blue. They thought it was intimidating.

The costume is fine. It’s the muscles that turn off sales.

Yup, especially those lumpy arms. Don’t know how they’d make them look strong and less bulky, though…
