Seems like artists just like to show women kicking people (show off their legs, I guess). Occasionally they'll throw in something different, but often it's kick, kick, kick, for panels and panels. Whereas Damon Scott and Pop Mhan often had Cass, Shiva, and other women using a whole lot of hand strikes - often very basic stuff, no fancy handshapes, just fists. Good stuff, especially Scott's stuff - always found it more raw and believable, for a comic. Mhan's stuff was more fancy, but he still didn't go for the kick-kick-kick garbage.
