<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Son las 4:28 am y no tengo mucho sueño, asi que voy a postear sobre un  poster de las mujeres mas poderosas (en todos los sentidos) de UDC -universo DC- ; este poster de Adam Hughes que fue lanzado en la ultima comic con de NYC.</p>
<p>el poster basicamente muestra a las chicas en un look bien sexy , a modo de decir que son ellas las de los verdaderos poderes en el UDC, voy a subir  la foto  y a hablar un poco de cada una de las chicas porque , repito, no puedo dormir.</p>
<p><a href="http://chopthisstick.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/dcuwomenah.jpg"><br />
</a></p>
<p><a href="http://chopthisstick.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/real_power_ww.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-80" src="http://chopthisstick.wordpress.com/files/2008/08/real_power_ww.jpg" alt="" width="125" height="204" /></a>1.- Wonderwoman: es muy poco lo que yo puedo decir sobre la mujer maravilla (no solo porque nunca he sido fan de ella, sino tambien porque es demasiado popular) todos sabemos que esta reina amazona , quien probablemente sea la mayor super heroina de todos los tiempos fue creada por <span style="font-size:small;font-family:Arial;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Arial;">William Moulton Marston , quien basicamente le dio todos los poderes que ha tenido desde siempre ademas de sus gadgets miticos como el lazo de la verdad, sus pulseras y su avion invisible. </span></span></p>
<p><a href="http://chopthisstick.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/real_power_catwoman1.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-82" src="http://chopthisstick.wordpress.com/files/2008/08/real_power_catwoman1.jpg?w=78" alt="" width="83" height="300" /></a>2.-Catwoman: Ha sido el gran amor de bruce Wayne y uno de sus peores enemigos, es de las mas villanas de vieja data del UDC y ha estado presente en la gran mayoria de las versiones de batman, con sus diversos trajes y aspectos, gatubela definitivamente es de armas tomar, de hecho llego a tener su propia pelicula hace poco tiempo (pesima por cierto) en fin, gatubela tiene toda la vida apareciendo y no parece que por el momento vaya a dejar de volver loco a mr. Wayne (thanks god).</p>
<p>3.-Power Girl: Ella es la Prima del Earth2-Superman (que voy a explicar rapidamente cual es su<a href="http://chopthisstick.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/real_power_power_girl.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-83" src="http://chopthisstick.wordpress.com/files/2008/08/real_power_power_girl.jpg?w=91" alt="" width="91" height="300" /></a> diferencia y porque es Earth2-superman, a ver Earth2-superman es la forma en la se diferencia al superman de la edad dorada con el superman de la edad de plata, basicamente son la misma cosa , solo que este superman es ligeramente mas debil que el Earth1-superman, este superman es mas el clasico del inicio de la saga , es el que se termina casando con lois y se hace editor del daily planet ; no cuenta con todos los poderes del earth1-superman pero basicamente son la misma cosa, estos dos supermans fueron sustituidos por la version definitiva de John Byrne de 1985) su nombre real es Kara Zor-L y su nombre en la tierra es el de Karen Starr, es ligeramente mas debil que superman , y desde su primera aparicion se ha caracterizado por tener unos senos exageradamente grandes (no me pregunten el por que, supongo que es fetiche de los dibujantes ._. )</p>
<p><a href="http://chopthisstick.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/real_power_oracle1.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-85" src="http://chopthisstick.wordpress.com/files/2008/08/real_power_oracle1.jpg" alt="" width="163" height="200" /></a>4.- Oracle: Es gracioso hace poco a. y yo estabamos sentandos hablando tonterias y no se por que razon los dos recordamos en momentos diferentes de ese mismo dia una serie super cutre (lo siento a. era muy cutre esa serie) que era una version real del comic de birds of pray (que a mi parecer es como una forma de reutilizar a las mujeres que salieron en batman y que ya no dieron para mas)  Oracle es Barbara Gordon (hija del comisionado Gordon) y tambien la primera batichica quien queda paralitica -si mal no recuerdo- a partir del killing joke de allan moore, siendo paralitica  se ve imposibilitada de usar de nuevo el ajustado traje de batichica, Barbara se convierte en oracle, el cerebro detras de Birds of Pray (funny huh?) .</p>
<p>5.-Supergirl : se estaran preguntando, cual es la diferencia entre powergirl y supergirl, ninguna son la misma Kara, solo que son primas de diferentes superman (lo que explique rapidamente arriba) para mas señas esta es la supergirl que aparece en Smallville (: (si lo se, el universo DC es un poco complicado).</p>
<p><a href="http://chopthisstick.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/real_power_supergirl.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-86" src="http://chopthisstick.wordpress.com/files/2008/08/real_power_supergirl.jpg" alt="" width="123" height="369" /></a></p>
<p>6.- Black Cannary : este es un caso en el que me voy a disculpar , no conozco muy bien a todas las chicas por eso en este caso no podria darles tanta informacion, esta es un personaje clasico, si no me equivoco en principio fue una villana pero luego le cambiaron su historia totalmente haciendola heroina, su ultimo registro la liga a las birds of pray.</p>
<p><a href="http://chopthisstick.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/real_power_black_canary.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-87" src="http://chopthisstick.wordpress.com/files/2008/08/real_power_black_canary.jpg" alt="" width="108" height="361" /></a></p>
<p>7.-Vixen: si no sabia mucho sobre black cannary, menos sobre vixen (y es que nadie sabe algo sobre vixen) y no porque sea un misterio o algo , vixen fue lanzada por DC en los 70's como la primera heroina negra, pero al poco tiempo cancelaron la serie debido al fracaso rotundo, y bueno basicamente mas nunca le han prestado atencion a Vixen, por eso tan poco informacion sobre ella en la red.</p>
<p><a href="http://chopthisstick.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/real_power_vixen.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-88" src="http://chopthisstick.wordpress.com/files/2008/08/real_power_vixen.jpg" alt="" width="129" height="139" /></a></p>
<p>8.- Batwoman : la batichica tal vez un poco menos popular que Barbara Gordon , Kathy Kane , basicamente no hay mucho que decir de ella, surge luego de la paralisis de barbara ; es funcionaria del cuerpo de policia de ciudad gotica y esta bajo ordenes directas del comisionado, entre otras cosas en el comic Kathy es lesbiana (lo cual explica un poco por que fue la unica que dibujaron con pantalones hahaha)</p>
<p><a href="http://chopthisstick.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/real_power_batwoman.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-89" src="http://chopthisstick.wordpress.com/files/2008/08/real_power_batwoman.jpg" alt="" width="171" height="177" /></a></p>
<p>9.- Poison Ivy : ella basicamente es una loca feminista amante de las flores, sad but true, ella es supervillana por la sencilla razon que bruno diaz no la tomaria a la ligera de nuevo , la Dra. Pamela Isley es una mujer que no toma bien el rechazo, pudimos verla en alguna de las peliculas de Batman con un trajecito verde que le quedaba muuuuy bien ;D , su habilidad especial son sus conocimientos sobre las plantas y el veneno, y ultimamente ha sido relacionada con Harley Quinn en un duo bastante bizarro.</p>
<p><a href="http://chopthisstick.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/real_power_ivy.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-90" src="http://chopthisstick.wordpress.com/files/2008/08/real_power_ivy.jpg" alt="" width="101" height="397" /></a></p>
<p>10.-  Zatanna : De la epoca de plata del UCD , zatanna es hija del mago Giovani Zatanna , tiene muchisimo poder (heredado de su padre) y unos cuantos trucos bajo la manga, zatanna jamas ha tenido su propia serie , pero ha aparecido en en varios team up , ojala y le den el chance, al menos se ve bonita con su sombrero de copa ;D.</p>
<p><a href="http://chopthisstick.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/real_power_zatanna.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-92" src="http://chopthisstick.wordpress.com/files/2008/08/real_power_zatanna.jpg" alt="" width="125" height="197" /></a></p>
<p>11.- Harley Quinn: Harley es tal vez la mas loca de todo este grupo, nada mas y nada menos que esta enamorada del JOKER (y no estamos hablando de Heath Ledger) ; lo peculiar en ella es que no nacio en los comics , nacio para Batman: The animated series, de la WB , pero su popularidad incremento y la permitio entrar en los comics, al igual que el joker su unico super poder , es estar vedaderamente demente.</p>
<p><a href="http://chopthisstick.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/real_power_harley.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-93" src="http://chopthisstick.wordpress.com/files/2008/08/real_power_harley.jpg" alt="" width="97" height="368" /></a></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cartoonmag.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/ahwonderwoman_250.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1266" src="http://cartoonmag.wordpress.com/files/2008/08/ahwonderwoman_250.jpg" alt="" width="194" height="250" /></a></p>
<p>Se c’è una cosa che non manca nel mercato dei comics, sono gli artisti che si fanno aspettare (seppure spesso ne valga la pena). È anche il caso di <strong>Adam Hughes</strong>, autore di una gran quantità di poster e copertine per la DC, la quale ben due anni fa annunciò di avere affidato alle sue sapienti mani la realizzazione della serie <em><strong>All Star Wonder Woman</strong></em>, testi e disegni. Come se non bastassero i ritardi propri dell’autore, appena liberatosi dagli impegni relativi alla serie, ora cancellata, di <em>Catwoman</em>, in giugno Hughes ha ben pensato di mettere fuori uso la mano con cui disegna. Ma proprio questo periodo di inattività, che dovrebbe concludersi all’incirca verso la fine di ottobre, pare abbia rimesso in moto le cose.</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p>Libero dalle scadenze delle “consegne grafiche”, l’autore si è dato a lavoretti come ricolorare al computer suoi vecchi disegni, progettare statue e… stendere la sceneggiatura di <em>All Star Wonder Woman</em>. In effetti, Hughes sostiene che proprio la volontà di produrre una trama che fosse davvero buona, e non tanto i disegni, avrebbe rallentato la produzione della serie. In qualità di sceneggiatore, avrebbe cercato un’angolazione per raccontare il personaggio che desse un vero impulso a tutta la storia e che andasse oltre la scorza di cliché sotto la quale è normale che il personaggio si presenti.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Adam is my colleague's son and is working in our firm this week. I think he has a great look and so luckily his mum was able to convince him to let me take some shots (all in the hope of getting some posing experience). We went to Smithfield Market, which is just by the office here in London, but which is unfortunately falling into a state of disrepair. Adam was great, joined in the fun and didn't mind the hecklers shouting "Cheese!" out of a car window as they drove past!</p>
<p>I just thought I'd post this one quickly ... more to follow.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey folks!</p>
<p>I was feeling a bit run down the past couple of days...lots of day job stuff that apparently I'd rather think about at night than sleep...and it puts me in a bit of a "flat" mood.  I wouldn't say depressed, more like a lack of energy or enthusiasm.  You know how it is when you just can't think of anything to look forward to?</p>
<p>Well, I was in that state when I read Cartoonist Jay Stephen's "<a href="http://monsterama.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Monsterama</a>" blog, only to find that he's posting from a sanitarium, where he checked himself in to help cope with depression and anxiety attacks.  I then went to a good friend and fellow pulp creator Tom Floyd's "<a href="http://www.captainspectre.com/" target="_blank">Captain Spectre</a>" page to read about his frustration with not being able to put out work regularly due to his day job, and how depressed it makes him feel.  I remember also a marker demo <a href="http://www.justsayah.com/" target="_blank">Adam Huges </a>was giving where his partner Allison remarked about how he "was never satisfied" with how his work turned out.</p>
<p>Now, none of these folks are "on the down and out" as it were.  Jay's cartoon "The Secret Saturdays" is being produced by the Cartoon Network, Tom has a fantastic, long-running comic series that's great fun to read, and Adam Hughes is.....well, he's frickin Adam Hughes.</p>
<p>So, what's up there?  What is it about living a creative life that makes you susceptable to cutting your ear off in a fit of romantic angst?  For me, I'm just about to finish up a pretty darned cool GZ short, and have had lots of great responses from fans and publishers.....why so serious?)</p>
<p>Maybe there's something to the intensity of the thing that is so draining or nerve-wracking.  Like Tom said in his blog, I literally think about GZ almost all the time...I go to sleep thinking about it.  Maybe it's logical that that sort of focus would cause you to hit the occasional, emotional wall?  I don't know.</p>
<p>The good thing for me is: I know that it's just the internal weather...and like any weather, it will pass.  So, tonight, instead of going home and plunking down in front of a movie, I'll plunk down in front of the easel and work more on that last page.  Sometimes, all it takes is showing up just to feel better.</p>
<p>Talk to you soon!</p>
<p>-Dave</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>San Diego Comic Con doth approach and I am swamped with all kinds of work (aren't you glad I don't blog about that, dear reader?), so today's Storm Sunday is short and sultry.  I've noticed that my top posts are the ones that have focused on the work of Frank Cho, Patrick Fillion, Arthur Adams and Adam Hughes which leads me to believe that we're all obsessed with sexy people (or rather, sexy renderings of them).  I was so happy when I found this piece by Adam Hughes.  I've never seen an artist take up so much of the page for just a character close-up quite like this before.  I like the tilt of the head back and the heavy eyelids with the spiky eyelashes.  The tiara is angled so it becomes more of a frame than usual and those lips are gorgeous!<br />

<p>This DC Comics promotional piece has been getting a lot of buzz on the internet and if you're a hardcore comics fan you've probably already seen it, but I just had to post it on my own little strand of the web.</p>
<div>I love how Hughes has really invested the drawings of each character with touches of their signature styles and character traits.  I only wish that <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marc_Andreyko">Marc Andreyko's Manhunter</a> was more of an A list character to be included.  For more of Adam Hughes amazing artwork, <a href="http://www.justsayah.com">visit his site here</a>.</div>
<div>From left to right we have Catwoman, Oracle (in front of her), Zatanna, Black Canary, Power Girl, Wonder Woman, Supergirl, Vixen, Batwoman (seated), Poison Ivy &#38; Harley Quinn.  My only quibble is that my girl Helena Bertinelli, the Huntress, is missing from the line-up.</div>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img style="display:block;text-align:center;cursor:hand;margin:0 auto 10px;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_cq-h1RCj4yI/SF3elgN1LQI/AAAAAAAABHM/zJeWnPVJUGU/s400/Storm-Hughes.jpg" border="0" alt="" />This Sunday I'd like to share a piece of artwork drawn by <a href="http://www.justsayah.com/">Adam Hughes</a>.  It's more of a sketch and that's what I love about it.  It's almost a gesture drawing with some sharply defined angles.  Ororo really looks likes she's flying.  So many artists aren't able to really capture that flight of fantasy, but Hughes nails it.  I think it's partly due to how he's positioned her arms (especially the wrists) and how Storm's cape gives her ballast.</p>
<div></div>
<div>Hughes also gets extra kudos from me for having Storm's tiara frame her face in such a bold fashion.  The design is reminiscent of how <a href="http://www.davecockrum.net/">Dave Cockrum</a> and <a href="http://www.byrnerobotics.com/">John Byrne</a> made it famous.  I'm sure Adam Hughes has drawn Storm much more than this, but I don't have any other pics of his work of Ororo in my favorites.  However, this rendering is one of my favorite depictions of Storm in general, not just of this artist.  And although I'm curious to see how it would look fully inked and colored, part of its appeal lies in its unfinished state.</p>

<p>Siguiendo con la serie iniciada en el post anterior sobre dibujantes especialmente dotados para plasmar nuestras más calenturientas fantasías en lo que a heroinas de comic se refiere (en principio no era una serie, pero vamos allá por aclamación), traemos a un autor que me tiene embobado desde la primera vez que vi uno de sus trabajos: <a href="http://www.justsayah.com/" target="_blank">Adam Hughes</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://pocus.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/catwomancv60.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-460" src="http://pocus.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/catwomancv60.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="692" /></a></p>
<p>Especialmente dotado para las portadas de mujéres exóticas y exhuberantes, especialista en vinilos y otras superficies reflectantes (ahi!! esos brillitos redondos...), tiene un estilo rotundo y personal, y de vez en cuando se inspira en personajes reales para representar a sus pin-ups.<!--more--></p>
<p><a href="http://pocus.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/ahandcw-722897.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-463" src="http://pocus.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/ahandcw-722897.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>A diferencia de otros, suele colorear sus <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">trabajos</span> portadas, lo que le confiere una interpretación más... precisa de  ciertas... zonas...</p>
<p><a href="http://pocus.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/trshark.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-461" src="http://pocus.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/trshark.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="342" /></a></p>
<p>Colaborador habitual de <a href="http://www.sideshowtoy.com/?page_id=4489&#38;sku=7178" target="_blank">Sideshow</a>, sus obras se agotan rápidamente en los almacenes (porqué será?)</p>
<p>Claro, que lo malo es la lentitud de su trabajo (según dicen las malas lenguas), por lo que suele hacer portadas antes que contenidos... lentorro que es el chaval, pero claro... pone tanto detalle y cariño...</p>

<p>Esta última está dedicada al colega <strong>Pigmalión</strong>... que ya le hubiera gustado esta "enemiga" para estrenar su sable Sith... (veis lo que murmura Yoda?)</p>
<p>Por cierto, un pequeño trivial... Sabeis quienes son las chatis del primer dibujo, todas ellas de DC?</p>
<p>No es mi campo, pero reconozco a la mayoría... qué me decís?</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://thehostess.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/daredevil_cover_orgboxart_160w.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-459" src="http://thehostess.wordpress.com/files/2008/05/daredevil_cover_orgboxart_160w.jpg?w=160" alt="" width="141" height="194" /></a></p>
<p>I've read comic books my whole life. I still read them. It's the only magazine I read cover to cover. My all time favorite superhero...Daredevil. I'm sure I screw-up the marketing department at Marvel Comics when I type 42 yrs. old and female when renewing my yearly subscription.</p>
<p>It's lonely though, this adult fascination of comics and superheroes. I try to explain the difference between a comic book and a graphic novel to my girlfriend, to no avail, and venture into comic books stores alone. I wave at my gay-adult-female friends who point at Pottery Barn where they will be when I finally emerge, and look at their straight-teenage-male counterparts that have their noses in comics just like I will for the next hour or two.</p>
<p>I can talk about the art of comics until I turn blue and fly in tights, but no one will listen...until now.</p>
<p>Because someone at the <a href="http://www.metmuseum.org/special/superheroes/index.asp" target="_blank">Metropolitan Museum of Art</a> likes superheroes...and they've just opened a new exhibit:</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://www.metmuseum.org/special/superheroes/index.asp" target="_blank">Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy</a>. On exhibit at the Met until September 1st</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://thehostess.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/met.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-460" src="http://thehostess.wordpress.com/files/2008/05/met.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="390" height="252" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">...</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">From the website:</p>
<blockquote><p>Since the first appearance of Superman in 1938, the superhero has exercised a powerful influence over our collective imagination, serving as avatars or conduits for our hopes, dreams, and desires. Until relatively recently...superheroes have often been dismissed as frivolous and superficial, but their apparent triviality is the very thing that gives them the ability to address serious issues.</p>
<p>Through the years, the superhero has been used to embody...our social and political realities. At the same time, it has been used to represent concepts reflective of sexuality and corporeality through idealized, objectified, and hyperbolic visualizations of the human body. Constantly redefined and reworked according to popular canons of beauty, superheroes embody the superlative.</p></blockquote>
<p>...</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Also on the <a href="http://www.metmuseum.org/store/st_exhibFamily_Browser.asp/categoryID/%7B49985291-76C1-4CB8-B777-A12951A034AC%7D/SpecialPermFlag/S/FromPage/catSpecialExhib" target="_blank">Met's publication site</a> are some books that might be interesting:</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">...</p>

<p style="text-align:left;">...</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">"Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy" By Andrew Bolton, with an essay by Michael Chabon</p>
<p>Fashion designers have always been fascinated by the idea of how clothing can transform the body, and even the perceived character of the wearer.This volume explores the symbolic and metaphorical associations between fashion and the superhero. The power of fashion, like the power of the superhero, lies in its ability to transcend the humdrum and commonplace. This volume examines the influence on fashion of the costumes of superheroes such as Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Catwoman, Captain America, and Spiderman, as represented in comic books, film, and television. The suits and capes of these superheroes not only proclaim their amazing powers, but also provoked new designs in avant-garde haute couture, ready-to-wear, and high-performance sportswear. Included are movie costumes as well as radical fashions in which designers go beyond iconography to explore issues of identity, sexuality, and patriotism. The introductory text features an essay entitled Secret Skin: An Essay in Unitard Theory by Michael Chabon, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author.</p>

<p>...</p>
<p>"DC Comics Covergirls" By Louise Simonson, foreword by Adam Hughes</p>
<p>With the introduction of Wonder Woman in 1941, DC comics offered up the first of many comic book heroines, who have no trouble being both beautiful and strong willed. Tracing their evolution from Wonder Woman to female-driven spin-offs such as Supergirl and Catwoman to today's girl-power series like Birds of Prey, this book is a smart, fun, and in-depth look at the greatest super heroines of yesterday, today and tomorrow.</p>
<p>...</p>
<p>For me finally the respect I deserve and possibly new graphic novel, and for my girlfriend...spring napkins from Pottery Barn.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>DC gave away a cracking poster at the recent New York Comic-Con that saw <a href="http://www.justsayah.com/pages/AHpg6.html" target="_blank">Adam Hughes</a> do a take on those Vanity Fair covers shot by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annie_Leibovitz" target="_blank">Annie Liebowitz</a>.</p>
<p>I'm not sure who all the burds are. I guess from the left it would be Catwoman, Babs Gordon, Zatanna, Black Canary, Supergirl maybe, Wonder Woman, Wonder Girl perhaps, dunno who that is sitting down, that might be the cop that was running around in Gotham City, I guess that's Poison Ivy and I don't know who the one on the far right is.</p>
<p>You can check out <a href="http://www.justsayah.com/pages/AHpg2.html#" target="_blank">a bigger version on Hughes' website.</a></p>

Sideshow Collectibles ha decidido crear una figura de colección de Mary Jane, ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>por Arturo Sarmiento</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.sideshowtoy.com"><em>Sideshow Collectibles</em></a> ha decidido crear una <a href="http://www.sideshowtoy.com/cgi-bin/category.cgi?item=6818">figura de colección de Mary Jane</a>, modelada en base a un diseño de <a href="http://www.adamhughesart.com/">Adam Hughes</a>, famoso artista de comics como <em>Ghost </em>y <em>JLA</em>. Hughes es básicamente un artista de pin-ups de chicas voluptuosas y gracias a ello ha sido últimamente un artista de portadas, pasando por <em>Wonder Woman, Tomb Raider, Catwoman</em> y varios más, por lo tanto no es de sorprenderse que la figura realizada por Sideshow terminara luciendo así:</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://www.sideshowtoy.com/cgi-bin/category.cgi?item=6818"><img src="http://img108.imageshack.us/img108/6465/mj1fh0.jpg" /></a>        <a href="http://www.sideshowtoy.com/cgi-bin/category.cgi?item=6818"><img src="http://img108.imageshack.us/img108/892/mj2ya9.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>Hasta aquí todo cae dentro de los estándares comiqueros: un buen trasero, pechos gigantescos y un pronunciado escote. Supongo que todo esto hubiera pasado desapercibido de no ser porque Mary Jane está… ¡lavando la ropa! ¡oh, por Dios! ¡Esto es degradante! Al menos así piensa <a href="http://devildoll.livejournal.com/750924.html">Devildoll </a>cuando mostró esta imagen en su <a href="http://www.livejournal.com/"><em>Livejournal </em></a>junto al siguiente párrafo:</p>
<blockquote><p>"Estoy tan feliz por Mary Jane. No solo es una dama en apuros. ¡Logra lavar el disfraz de Spidey con sus pechos y tanga visibles!"</p></blockquote>
<p>Esto puso a la comunidad feminista de lectoras de comics furiosas y expresaron su opinión a través de foros y la página de Marvel y Sideshow lo suficiente que lograron que esta noticia se publicara en <a href="http://popwatch.ew.com/popwatch/2007/05/spiderman_tiein.html"><em>Entertainment Weekly</em></a> y <a href="http://www.nypost.com/seven/05162007/news/nationalnews/mary_jane_is_spidey_sensuous_nationalnews_neil_graves.htm"><em>The New York Post</em></a>.</p>
<p>En una nota para <a href="http://www.thestar.com/artsentertainment/article/214778#"><em>Toronto Star</em></a>, Elizabeth McDonald de <a href="http://girl-wonder.org"><em>girl-wonder.org</em></a>, una organización dedicada a la “alta calidad en representación de personajes”, opina al respecto:</p>
<blockquote><p>“Encuentro la mezcla de sumisión doméstica y disponibilidad sexual de mal gusto, dado que no es una representación particularmente buena del personaje. ¿Si fueras a escoger una pose para hacer una estatua de Spiderman, sería de él en sus pies y rodillas debajo del fregadero arreglando el sumidero? Creo que es improbable. ¿Así que por que tomar a Mary Jane, una de las primeras mujeres en comics en mantener su nombre después de casarse, el sostén de la familia en su relación, y decidir que la forma más icónica de representarla es lavando la ropa? Y claro, como es impensable producir una estatua sin atractivo visual, naturalmente está lavando la ropa con su tanga y escote expuestos.”</p>
<p><!--more--></p></blockquote>
<p>La respuesta de cajón por parte de Sideshow Collectibles para todos aquellos que se molestaron en escribirles sus quejas fue:</p>
<blockquote><p>"Nuestro producto no es producido para hacer una declaración política o social, sino elaborado con las propiedades de entretenimiento actuales en el mercado. Sugerimos que si encuentras el producto de Mary Jane ofensivo te abstengas de ver esa página."</p></blockquote>
<p>Así pues el punto es el mismo de siempre. Es posible que los personajes femeninos hayan conseguido un poco de respeto en los comics, pero siguen siendo objetos a través de los cuales se manipula tanto a los lectores como a los personajes másculinos de las historias, ya sea a través de su físico o del abuso al que son sometidas. O viéndolo desde otro ángulo, como <a href="http://logansrogue.livejournal.com/">logansrogue </a>diría ¿Cuáles son las posibilidades de ver una estatua así?</p>

<p>Todo este asunto es bastante reminiscente del post del 2006 por Shaenon K. Garrity donde escoge a <em>JSA </em># 82 como “<a href="http://shaenon.livejournal.com/36669.html">el peor maldito comic en el mundo</a>”. Es una lectura larga pero recomendable, en la cual logra hacer algunos buenos puntos acerca de los estereotipos a los que son sometidos los personajes femeninos en los comics.</p>
<p>Antes de opinar fíjate que tu respuesta no caiga dentro de las previstas en el “<a href="http://girl-wonder.org/girlsreadcomics/index.php?entry=entry070415-071159"><em>Bingo anti feministas de comics</em></a>”. Aquí también puedes checar la portada de <em>Mighty Avengers</em> # 3 para saborear otro ejemplo de misoginia en los comics.</p>
<p>Es lamentable que las personas se molesten por asuntos tan superfluos, sobre todo en una industria donde es de esperar que algo así suceda, después de todo, el sexo vende, sobre todo a un montón de varones. Supongo que todas las chicas que se quejan sólo lo hacen porque no lucen así de bien. Después de todo ¿Quién quiere leer comics llenos de mujeres gordas y feas?</p>
<p>¡Bingo!</p>
