Yannick_B posted:This reminds me of an old interview on newsarama by the writer of the Cyborg solo series discussing the same thing: It would be so easy for them to just... not bring that part up. Why the gently caress can't they stop making everything about dicks? I mean, I know all the actual philosophical reasons and such, but from a business perspective it would be so easy to be like "let's maybe not mention the dicks, let's err on the side of not mentioning sexual things".

SUPERMAN'S GAL PAL posted:I swear I read way back in Internet 1.0 that Dave Cockrum privately drew Nightcrawler and Kitty together with the latter character uh, “enjoying a little AC/DC” (paraphrased). If that was true that feels downright normal tbh. I have no idea what that's supposed to mean.

To be fair Doom Patrol Cyborg is very clear about his genital situation but that is because of the kind of show Doom Patrol is and I doubt what was happening here.

It's a sort of problematic trope in media by white creators featuring black men to emasculate them in some way. It happens a lot and smarter people than me have written articles on the subject. Note: this only explains why Cyborg's genitalia is a subject of concern. I think Chuck Austen is just garden variety pervert.

When a euphemism needs a euphemism... I thought it was a bisexual reference and couldn't figure out how that works with only two people.

I still don't understand how AC/DC is supposed to mean Nightcrawler has two dicks and is gonna gently caress someone in two holes at the same time.

Austen's other "sexy" work include an OEL baseball college manga that left one wondering if he knew how baseball, college or possible even sex worked and WorldWatch which was... commentary? Ironic satire? Desperate cash grab imitation of the Authority? which was 'what if the Authority but THEY FUCC.' And you would say 'the Authority already fuccs and why are you spelling the word weird?' And I would reply for you to mind your own business but WW actually showed them doing it and also it was horrible.

I mostly remembered the low key racism and one of the female heroes didn't wear a top because the friction from moving at super speed would shred it but "oddly" not her pants, so yeah, agreed on Austen,

He's also writing an original Comixology book called Edgeworld: Sand with Patrick Oliffe on art. It's pretty much Deadwood in space, but I only skimmed the first issue.

I gave the same attitude toward Byrne for making a gross Apokolips OC that manipulated Barda and Supes into making a dirty film (I think?).

site posted:Can't get over the sleezy used car salesman av I met Steranko very briefly at SDCC in 2019, knowing he was "important" in comics, but not really much about him. He let me take a picture with him Because Attractive Woman. Then his assistants/handlers nearly got into a physical fight with a couple of men who were trying to take a photo of him while he was talking to me. When I went back to my friends' booth and told them what happened afterward, I found out he is always weird about photos. His banners have a lot of ego-pumping language about what a living legend he is. I was not surprised to discover he is a Trump guy. They have a lot similarities. I have heard stories about Steranko liking the younger ladies, but never anything accusing him of outright abuse or assault. In person, the vibe is less "used car salesmen," and more like he wants to have the vibe of some artsy Italian mobster. Like if Drakkar Noir was a person. He is also surprisingly short. This isn't the first time he's tweeted something racist about the pandemic. It will be interesting to see if he continues on this path, or if the people that help run his business make him reel it in.

Sterenko led a very interesting life being an escape artist before becoming a very influential artist. That being said he is very much living on the memory of his past glories from.......40 years ago. I will never say that he wasn't influential and that his stuff isn't still great to look at though, but he is just pretty much a successful white male boomer at this stage.
