J. Scott Campbell Rethinks Riri Williams

[Agent Z]

I figure this might be some happier news, in light of the Manara/Cho stuff.

Everything about the original cover is fixed. It's more appropriate and and visually interesting

I never saw the first draft.

Love this cover and I hope Marvel uses it. It's the least they can do IMO.

[Spike-X]

There you go. And he did it without having a tantrum and squealing about 'censorship'. Frank Cho take note.

Well, Scott did complain that SJWs don't by comics.

SJWs? Single Jehovah's Witnesses?

[Realdealholy]

I like it. Def an improvement from the previous cover art. Good move by JSC.

Hey, I buy comics.

I think this is it.

She's 15 years old, thus the controversy.

Social Justice Warriors.

Campbell's been doing cheesecake stuff for years (i.e. Danger Girl), but NOW people complain? What the hell did they expect?

The problem is when the subject is a minor, like RiRi who is supposed to be, I think, a 15 year old girl genius. That moves it into creepy territory.

Would you like to see Sasha Obama depicted like that?

Comically the same pose that was used , had a cover with armor. So the cover they objected to was the one with the shown. But same exact pose , same situation...just with armor. I think even Campbell was like ...seriously ? This is the same pose and all , except she is showing a mid-drift.

I agree with WPP, but, not knowing the book in question I can see your side too. However it is rated "Teen" so I also, again, don't see the issue. She is clothed and not in any provocative pose. I guess it is, if you want it to be. But being it's not Marvel Adventures or some other "All Ages" book, I don't see the need for the outcry, nor would I see the need for Campell throwing a fit about redoing the cover if he did. People in general need to chill out with their fiction. On both sides of the fence. (Just so it's clear I am trying not to take either side.)

[Mecegirl]

Much better. And actually interesting? I mean even without the weird spider body the first cover just has her standing there. This one has personality.
