A black mark on comics fandom

More evidence that comics fans are focusing on plot to the exclusion of art:



Leinil Yu draws Captain America with a discernible package, and nobody freaks out--presumably because they're too wrapped up in the plot! What's wrong with you people? Where's the outrage?

EDIT: On further inspection, Cap seems to lean a little to the right. I'm not sure what to make of that.

Well, in my defense I'm not one who usually points out that sort of thing anyway...plus my copy didn't have this cover.

I know that you specified 'package' and not 'erection', but I would like to point out something that I learned from reading Chris Butcher:

If you had an erection while wearing superhero spandex, it would not look like that.

In my opinion, Yu has perfectly portrayed what a ha-yuge package would look like if it were being held back by spandex. However, I have not been to the conventions that Mr. Butcher has, so that opinion could change.

As big as Yu draws the breasts on Every. Woman. I think it's only fair that the men be endowed at least moderately well.

(And that's not that big a package.)

Considering how much is going on with that cover (Including 1970's Ms. Marvel's costume riding up her ass) it's easy to miss that.

I mean, this isn't exactly like all those times when Alex Ross draws someone with a noticeable package, which get some complaints, but not a lot.

On the whole, I don't think too many people really care.
