Yeah but can he breathe underwater?

Actually wait he can when he channels an aquatic animal... poo poo, uh wow Aquaman really does kinda suck in the powers department.

Buddy gets proportional strength when he channels an animal so he's got super strength too barring channeling a goldfish or something. Aquaman's powerset just doesn't stack up that well but hey Hawkguy fight aliens and gods with a weapon from the paleolithic era

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.

I am but that issue felt forced and fake grrrl power-ey like somebody decided the team hadn't gotten enough flak from men so they just toss together some half-assed excuse to do a bordering on parody of feminism men can't handle women working issue.

And continuity nit-pick Clea and Strange got divorced in the early 90's so she doesn't actually need one.

Unless being "for" them means "making dudes look like total buffoons," no.

See that's the thing the issue reads like an MRA wrote it trying to parody feminism. Like there should be a south park "THIS IS WHAT FEMINISTS ACTUALLY BELIEVE" scroll underneath it.

I'm going to say that I completely disagree, given that the entire loving comic was having the males fail the Bechdel Test and the women passing it. It was a spin on poorly written pop culture gender roles that was a Fun Comic that was also Funny. I'll leave it at that, because holy crap is this a can of worms I didn't want to see.

It was a great issue. The page with Strange wondering why Clea divorced him needs to be posted.
