That is not in any way how a woman's torso is shaped.

It might be how Biance Beauchamp's is. I bet you its where its traced from.

Yeah but the page in question is this-


This is cheesecake, there's no storytelling here that isn't the story of 'girls are soft and I want to touch them'.

Edit: I have to admit I don't know the context, though, if it's a parody then good job. If not I'm a bit sad for comics.

vvv Oh, that's.. really quite sad. What a pathetic state of affairs.

There's nothing sad at all about making a cheeky XMen book for Milo Manara, drawn by Milo Manara. If that type of book should exist, its exactly how it should be done. Better that than regular X-Men books with stupid Greg Land porn poses all over the place.

You don't think both that book and the Greg Land porn traces are weirdly pandering and cementing the 'comics are for manchildren' image? Of course you'd pick him over Land any day, Manara can sure as hell draw, he's fantastic, I just wish he was being used for something else. If they want to make softcore they should just make it and not veil it as being anything but.

Anyway, this probably isn't the thread to have this discussion, just wanted to clarify that there's no problem at all with his craftsmanship, just the content.

I really dont care about "comics are for manchildren"--if a person thinks a Milo Manara PG-13 Xmen comic does that, too bad.

His craft is of course better than Land's but if you read that comic, you see it for what it is; a sexy/cheesy romp that is actually meant to be drawn and look that way. Manara brings his own tone and it becomes different, compared to a Land (or other guys like Ed Benes and his crazy butt shots) where they stick "sexy anatomy" in tense or serious conflicts.

Now, should Marvel publish silly/sexy XMen comics like that? Maybe not, but its the best version of that type of book and maybe someone discovered Manara out of it, and that is pretty cool.

Yeah, it's Millar so the writing is crap (and heavy-handed even for Millar) but the art is good.

I am sort of liking it but am dreading the eventual reveal where we discover that whatever gave the superheroes powers is some vile, horrible act.

Hahahaha I love that dude's bizarre and inexplicably successful carrier of hackery.

Any kid who likes drawing eventually gets a Christopher Hart how-to book. Always.

I mean, this thread is filled with those kinds of lovely opinions "oh you mean THIS is a [body part]? HOHOH" yeah I know it doesn't look
like a human anatomy! It's stylized!

All these artists know what they're doing.
