I suppose someone has to be "Mister Obvious" here, so I may as well be that guy, this week. Incidentally, I quite enjoyed the comic book series, and I wish it had gone onto a final story arc.

Much obliged. You're all such nice people. :o

Kinda like throwing them into the deep end of the pool or kicking their ass out of the nest.
Desensitization therapy can be swift and brutal yet effective! :cool:
[QUOTE=nx01a;5763294]I considered that cover but I wasn't sure if it broke site rules... or just general decorum. :p[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=Iron Maiden;5763385]It's not very tasteful to be sure :p I am so tired of women used in this this kind of S&M imagery.[/QUOTE]
It's not my choice to [I]win[/I] as much as, "[I]Holy s*** guys, get a load of this...[/I]"
I can't believe this exists at all, let alone that someone chose it to be the cover of issue #2 of a series.

#2 of a 2 issue series, btw. :p

I agree. It is a very unpleasant image to look at and I was just browsing away and saw that. It practically needs a viewing warning message. Why is it we have two images on this page with a scantily clad and a nude woman tied up and threatened with torture? The world is depressing enough these days as it is. These just sadden me. There is such ugliness in the world that we don't need to glorify this kind of image. Especially when women are frequently the target of mass murderers and kidnappers etc many of whom torture their victims.
'Women tied down and threatened with injections by mad scientists only to be saved by their heroic men' is certainly a trope, and it sadly seems to be what you'll find the a lot of when asked to produce covers featuring needles. :(
I don't think it's a bad contest idea this week btw, but whoever wins next should make their topic lighthearted to balance it out. :)

Well, don't vote for them then.

It doesn’t look like a problem of relevance… I have already been upsetted by some pictures that have been posted.
This? It is sadly so frequent…

I think there were three issues of Death Hawk.

And both by the same painter.

Yes, it's creepy and disturbing for sure. Thanks to the preponderance of such images, IMO many comic book forums are not a very welcoming environment for many women.
In terms of this cover contest, as I have noted before, I try to skip over the gross images that demean women.
