Kinda cool. Not crazy about the collar though and she clearly needs knee-pads.

Nothing says "cat burglar" than a superfluous leather jacket and spiked collar.

Form and function? Feh. I'll just draw my fantasy girlfriend and stick some cat ears on her. And.... done.

She must have cat burgled an 90's anti-hero for that outfit. Leather Jacket and torn jeans, short hand for "Not you dad's ______!"

Its kind of goofy how its not a costume until you get to the head where all of a sudden she has a cowl and goggles.

That's why Darwyn Cooke's Catwoman costume was the best, and why it's lasted for almost 15 years so far. For a cat burglar to be crawling through ventilation shafts and somersaulting over laser sensors, it's a tight, form-fitting bodysuit with minimal extraneous features. No silly tail or long skirt to get caught on things, no long hair flowing out of the mask to leave DNA evidence behind or help witnesses identify her. The goggles have an important night vision function as well as giving her more of a cat-like look and further obscuring her face, and the whole thing is black to allow her to blend better into shadows, not purple or green or even gray.

"Do you want to talk to a spider, Peter?"


Guy at the comic shop was complaining about Power Girl and Batgirl not being as sexy as they used to be, and how he's glad they didn't ruin Spider Woman..

Haven't been happier to ruin someone's day. This was punctuated by the guy who once wrote a three page manifesto on how Azzarello and Chiang were ruining Wonder Woman before the New52 even began, coming up to the counter with the latest issue of Wonder Woman, and whatever other cape book with a pair of tits.

Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed shitposting.
While it has a lot of other issues, something I really liked about the Catwoman costume in Dark Knight Rises was who when she popped her goggles up they look like cat ears.

Black is usually a bad color for hiding, especially outside at night. If there's a little light and the person's got half-decent night vision a black spot is going to stick out like a sore thumb. Most of the time, navy blue or dark brown are better colors for stealth. But I've never lived in an actual city, so maybe black works better in places where cars and street lights obliterate your night vision?

None of those colors seem particularly egregious to me, as long as they're moderately dark and non-reflective. It's the shiny black PVC catsuits that always make me cringe.



VVV Yeah, no, I get that it's a comic. All I'm trying to say is: the color doesn't matter too much as long as the costume's appropriate for the character and fits the look they're trying to achieve.

I'm glad that they didn't choose that design.




I've also wondered whether Nemi's design and character were based of Gaiman's Death, or perhaps the 'cheerful goth girl' was an archetype that already existed.

I think that's just generic goth girl. She looks more like Morticia Addams than Death.

Who drew that Death? Doesn't look like Kieth or Dringenberg. Is it really an early design?

Mike Dringenberg pretty much nailed down Death's look straight away according to the Sandman lore. He modelled her on his friend Cinnamon:

Someone at Marvel has a thing for low rise pants as I see a lot of Marvel's female costume designs from the last several years have them. No idea about the boob window, I thought Marvel was going away from that. I don't know if it is just that particular drawing but Angel could do with a little more muscle. And ditch the high heeled wedges.
