Heroes For Hire #13
Generally, i love a good controversy. Anyone who reads these editorials knows that for a fact. And pretty much everyone knows how irritable i am without the majik of cigarettes, so this one will probably be extra harsh.



This image is an offense to the industry. "Tentacle rape", generally reserved for the more sickening and disturbing hentai videos, has invaded Marvel Comics. Whether or not you agree, this image simply fuels the fire that demotes and abuses women in mainstream comics. See Black Cat? Remember back in the eighties when all she did was swoon over Spidey and kick ass? Now, since apparently it's a must, Felicia Hardy, aka Black Cat, is a rape survivor and now has alien jizz on her boobies. WTF, mate!?! Since when does a powerful female character need for some shit like that to happen to her?

Some years back, DC did the Identity Crisis series, which was incredible, as it was one of the few times rape was ever used in DC. Not to mention the story itself was fucking amazing and the ending was mind blowing. But really, have you ever heard of Wonder Woman getting raped? Not me. But Marvel keeps raping it's female characters, supposedly making them stronger characters, but i fail to see how.

This cover image is going way too far. This series is aimed at young teen boys, from 12 to 15. My little homie Xylan shouldn't be seein' this kinda thing when he walks into Acme Comics. Hell, even straight porn comics can't get away with this kinda cover. This is the image sold to comic audiences around the country. Women as objects. For nothing but sex to sell the damn book.

This is sickening. This is disgusting. This makes me angry as hell. And this is the image of women in mainstream comics.

My name is 3d Graffiti and i fucking hate the world.
