In the NYT item, Aguirre-Sacasa provides more reasons to think that he doesn't take writing comics seriously. He said MARVEL DIVAS was originally going to be a "slice of life" thing, meaning, I suppose, that there wouldn't be significant plot content -- like his YOUNG AVENGERS PRESENTS issue. He also equated the cover art for MARVEL DIVAS with artwork featuring over-muscled men. Can he really be that dense on the subject of sexist artwork?

Is it wrong to ask why Patsy, Felicia, and Angel are drawn as a conventional perception of "uber-cute" while Monica looks almost, hurm, mannish? The contrast is staggering. Maybe if they threw in more than one black woman, the difference wouldn't be so jarring/might not exist at all? just curious.

Is this the Photon from Nextwave?

And Kevin, if you're willing to give it a chance for a couple of issues - well, it is a mini-series, I'm sure you could last to the end.

In what bizarro universe do Supermodels have to go to Speed dating sessions, or is she still not over Spider Man? Is this is the same continuity as the recent Hellcat mini? She seems to have de-aged by about ten years ?

Reminded me a lot of Ultra from the Luna Bros.
