I don’t think you can call war crime beast out of character, it’s how he’s been written for 30 years at this point

at this point i'm starting to doubt if he was ever actually written the way people remember him being in the comics and instead people are just thinking of the X-Men 92 cartoon

Age of Apocalypse Beast was the truest Beast all along. And much later Morrison introduced The Sublime, which was basically super evil Beast. Maybe the character is simply more appealing as a monstrous rear end in a top hat, or the writers wouldn't continue to use his fuckups as plot movers.

When you gently caress up the sexual politics of a comic so bad you call in Chris Claremont to fix it, you've done hosed up.

Claremont was horny but, most of the time, in a far more respectful way than the non-horny generic chauvinism of many of his contemporaries. He was on Ms. Marvel for years before he was on X-Men and is the writer responsible for most of the lodestones of her modern characterisation. And, as evidenced from the fact that he loathed Avengers #200 and went out of his way to address it, he was one of the few writers at Marvel in that era who had the level of social literacy necessary to understand that stories glorifying the sexual violation of women were a problem to begin with. Like, yeah, Claremont's Uncanny can be horny and paraphilic, but a) he hits male characters with the horny stick too and b) the female characters have so much more agency than the vast majority of their comic book peers that it's preferable to the limp sexism of many of the books being published at the same time. Claremont was writing Storm and Kitty Pryde while many other books were writing their female superheroes strictly as flat, ineffectual love interests.

Claremont is known to have a thing for dominant, strong women (also clear indicators of him being familiar with the kinkier club scene of the time), which led to some real fetishistic stuff but also female characters with significantly more agency and independence than others during that era. He did also just write women as people, which was more than could be said of some other writers at the time. I'd read Claremont's female characters over, say, Marv Wolfman's. Nothing wrong with having kinks, nothing necessarily wrong with writing while slightly horny. Claremont was just a little bit obvious at times. Some of his works have aged like milk and he's cranky old man nowadays, but he was still an overall positive influence on the mainstream superhero comics scene in many ways.

When I was a kid, the local rags were publishing Byrne Fantastic Four and Claremont-Byrne-Austin X-Men so I grew up thinking it was perfectly normal for children's entertainment to be about 70% shiny tits and arse. I mean sure I had already been exposed to Natacha but she wasn't as shiny. e: Oh and Paulette. e: I just GISed the Natacha-creator and he looks exactly like one would imagine the author of a good girl comic to look (e: not judging):

So this is Jason Aaron's follow up Punisher Max series. It's confusing out of context, because his writing is close enough to Ennis and it's Dillon art, but it doesn't follow the central conceit of the Ennis series where Frank is a Vietnam vet aged in real time to the mid 2000s. It's a decent series with a kinda new take on the Kingpin.
