For the demographic in the 1990s. its 2013. There's a reason Duke Nukem isn't around anymore.
Here's the cover of this month's Batwoman, courtesy DC Comics: X-men Legacy Wallpaper, courtesy Marvel: Artesia, the flagship of my friends over at Archaia: (to be fair, most of the time she's wearing the very armor criticised in this article) And, to round things out, my fine friends at Zenescope, who maintain they have a higher female readership than any other publisher because their stories are "female-centric": It'd be super-cool to pretend that comics have moved on and gotten more progressive and yeah - there are those. But there always have been. It's still Metal Hurlant's world. We just live in it. "Deal with it" - Hajime Sorayama
