Frank Cho Asks What If Milo Manara Drew Spider-Gwen?

[Aioros22]

The one thing I feel ready, willing, and able to comment on is that at least Frank Cho drew Gwen like she was wearing actual clothing and not body paint.

Jessica doesn`t have a hoodie and her "body paint" is mostly of one color sans boots and gloves. That`s about the major difference.

And having seen the actual Frank Cho redraw of Milo Manara's Spider-Woman variant, I stand by my earlier comment. Cho's version at least makes her look like she's wearing actual skintight fabric that hugs her body somewhat like fabric actually would instead of like she's wearing paint.

Contorted with boob socks?

Phantom Lady is really the only thing that stands out that I can think of.

Right here dude

If I hadn't already dropped Spider-Gwen after the first issue (cos it's so very, very blah), I suspect Rodriguez's tweet and subsequent "we have to do it for the people!!" 'explanation' of said ludicrous tweet would have probably done the job. Even if Spider-Gwen had been a genuinely good book. Which it isn't.

She doesn't have a magic spine or gravity-defying assets and clothing. That stuff's some "aw shucks" grandpa sexy. Gwen is "presenting" in the Cho cover.

This is a great push against the censorship and moral panic wave hitting the industry right now.

Let's not get hysterical just because we don't all agree on how nude and sexy a comic book character should be.

It's not hysterical. There's a moral panic against comics right now (this time from the left, instead of the right as was the case with the CCA) that comics are sexist/racist and it has resulted in censorship. I mean there's a new outrage every week by this point, despite the Big 2 walking on eggshells to appease these crowds.

If that is the case, then I have to conclude its because comics have gone more mainstream as a result of the movie successes. Which is a good thing if so. But its pretty likely that eventually the comic field will die back down and most of the moral activists will go back to ignoring it.

What censorship?

I think that's kinda messed up. Sure, there may be some extreme "moral activists" out there, but most folks probably just wanna enjoy a new or renewed hobby without having to feel like they're breaking into a weird pervert club.

[Scott Taylor]

Probably most comic fans, new or old, feel the same. But I don't know what censorship is being referred to here anyway.

So Frank Cho responds to criticism of his Spider-Gwen pic by making one of Harley Quinn in the same pose.



It's like the whole change the cover thing with Batgirl.

[Billy Batson]

What censorship?

The recent Batgirl variant cover fiasco. :^)

That's not censorship.
