This is a great blog...

It's funny, just the other day I was showing a gal pal pictures of Power Girl from Wizard Magazine just to get her commentary on how likely it was that a lady could even work her way into that costume, much less, um, keep everything in place when she threw a punch...

And today I discover your blog.

Keep up the good work...

Thanks, Jason!

One of the funniest things I've found about a lot of superheroine costumes is what I've termed "the individually wrapped boob effect." That's where the costume is drawn in such a way that the fabric hugs every square millimeter of both breasts. Sure, it's unrealistic to the extreme, but then the reader gets to pretend the lady in question is topless (and without nipples).

Well, Kristin, the Demon Druid is an Englishman. I think you just figured out the original use for that thing on his hat!

I agree, Scipio! But Joe Quesada would only publish that under the "MAX" imprint.
