Sep. 4th, 2009 02:15 pmReading the first book of Frank Miller's "Sin City." I really appreciate the art style. Will reserve other comments until I've finished the whole first book, but do have a general comics related observation.
Why is that in order to be powerful, a woman must be beautiful and sexy. Whereas men come in all kinds of shapes and sizes? I mean it's one thing if EVERYONE is beautiful, that's like some idealization. But normally the male characters aren't beautiful, they are plenty of grotesque characters as well. And it even seems that not attractive is the default setting for male charaters. But the default is always perfect beauty for female characters. With a few "uglies" thrown in here and there.
Let's get with the program, ok?
