[comics] where have you gone, Mary Marvel?

Jul 13, 2007 11:24

I think there's a lot that I could say about legacy characters' difficult integration into other narrative universes, and gratuitous character arcs where interesting=bartending in the dark, not to mention a feminist observation about power making women into dominatrices. Instead, I'll just offer a couple scans. ( Mary Marvel is my comics girlfriend )

I think I can see her pubis in that second panel. That is... kinda gross.

Don't we have enough troubled, "edgy" girl heroes right now? Supergirl, I'm looking at you. I'm also disturbed that the Giffen and DeMatteis Bad!Mary wore more clothes. I think. I haven't read it in a while.

Mistress Mary did wear more clothes; she had the lightning-bolt cutout on her chest.

These old stories, though. SO GREAT.

I totally need to track these down. She looks so AWESOME.

Oh thank god I wasn't the only one who thought that.

Seriously, is she even wearing underwear?!

...which mini? Trials?

DC's new "throw lots of bullshit out and pretend that it'll be explained in 18 to 24 months" editorial policy needs to be eaten by a bear. Starting with DiDio's penile little head.
