Marvel pulls j. Scott Campbell' Riri William Iron Man cover

[lordozone]

Seriously, somebody can explain to me how this cover is shocking or sexualized ? Sometimes it's like, when it concern puritanism, the SJW are the same than the right-wing, even if it's not for the same reason. I prefer one thousand time the Sjw crowd than the Trump followers and other alt-right people, but this outrage of the week is so stupid..

I can totally understand why the Manara cover of Spider-woman or the Batgirl cover with Joker were controversial, even if I'm not ok with the censorship, but this cover was totally innocuous.

I'm sorry for J. Scott Campbell who will face a shitstorm during 4 or 5 days, and I'm very disapointed by Marvel who, once again, has not supported one of his illustrator because of a minority on twitter and Tumblr.

Shes supposed to be 15

Its kinda creepy

Clearly no one has been to the mall between April and August.
It's only creepy to the perverts who are lashing out.
There is ZERO sexualized about that cover. A little tummy is not cause for pause.

[Crimz]

I see why people have a problem. It seems like sexualizing a 15 year old character.

[Nite-Wing]

DC should be getting similar complaints soon too

It was an innocuous cover. She wasn't sexualized in any way. The pose was nonsexual, the clothes looked like something a character would wear on Pretty Little Liars, and she looked YOUNG in the face.

... ok

I know comic nerds are used to hyper sexuality of woman which is fine i guess, dont really care like I don't really care about a variant of a book i wont read

But it looks like they stuck a 15 year old face on a college freshman

I just copied the cover from the site... My problem is solved

[Valamist]

It... seems like a bit of an over reaction to me. I dunno, just not a fan of censorship especially in something like a cover. In the end its just a pecie of art.

Same. I've seen the cover, it's not bad at all. It's an outfit that she canonically wears and it's a non-sensual pose.

But I honestly don't know what Marvel was expecting.
Campbell draws attractive thin women. And you get mad when he does just that like... ??? that just makes you look like the idiot, Marvel.

[Panfoot]

After looking it up, I was expecting much worse. I guess I can see where people are coming from, but it doesn't seem *that* bad.

Just ignore it, you'll give riri more publicity 4 free. That's what marvel wanted to do with this cover

[CraigTheCylon]

J. Scott Campbell is a pin-up artist. Somebody told him to do a cover for a female character, so he drew a pin-up piece. Of a below-age-of-consent high schooler.

Not gonna blame Campbell for doing what he does, but will happily tsk-tsk at whichever Marvel editor type thought it was a good idea giving Campbell this particular gig in the first place. Having any understanding of the character you're selling and the track record of the artist should've been enough to set off warning bells. It's the Manara situation all over again, even if the final result was a smidge less pr0nzy.

Clever. Even 'bad' publicity is good as long as you're talking about it.
