Good fucking grief

Marvel isn't content with MJ doing her man's laundry in her thong.

Check this one out (ganked from asim, who pointed to this post):







Yep, that's three heroines (or anti-heroines, as it were) complete with breasts (all on a scale that would likely make Power Girl cry out in pain from just looking at them) hanging out and with uniforms exposed right down to the crotch.

And yes, there are slimy tentacles dripping onto them. Including lots of slime on Felicia Hardy's cleavage, looking very much like a pearl necklace money shot. Marvel has discovered Hentai. Lovely.

As a bonus feature, Misty Knight (the woman in the red halter top with balloons attached to her) has apparently undergone racial reassignment surgery, presumably either because artist Sana Takeda doesn't like black women in his fantasy porn, or because Marvel has decided that tan-looking vaguely asian/white combos sell better. Only her hair looks anything like the character.

Bonus #2: Note that this is rated T+. That sounds great, right? After all, older teens are ready for tentacle porn and other adult content. But "T+," according to Marvel's pages, means that its appropriate for most readers, starting at age 9.

*blink*

Guess we should set up the DVD system for Urotsukidoji. At 12, Elayna's probably a little old for it, but I suppose it's time to catch up.

Seriously, why even fucking bother with a rating system when you just shit on it?

There's actually good stuff at Marvel: Peter David's (soon-to-end) run on Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, Warren Ellis's take on Thunderbolts, etc. There's a wonderful history there, as well. But at this point, it's pretty much evolved into the company that makes me glad I dumped their stock last year, with too little good stuff to outweigh the suck.

ETA: digriz notes that the artist appears to be female, which makes her confusion about breasts and gravity even more baffling.
