The seductive raising of the sock

well, I was probably gonna pick up JLA as well so I guess, that's an excuse

Lol

@jorgevy: I have read all of Vibe, really Gypsy is more interesting than the MC

@razzatazz: He's a gypsy now?!?!?!? wow they got my attention now

@jorgevy: No the character is based on a character from the Justice League Detroit days when the justice league tried to make itself more like the X-Men. It didn't last though. One of his colleagues on the team was a girl named Gypsy. She is in this series as well.

@razzatazz: aaaaah. if she's a gypsy I'll totally give a look at it though :D

@jorgevy: Well she is not actually (at least I don't think) Her superhero name is Gypsy. It is implied that she is the daughter of Darkseid though I don't think that is actually the case.

@razzatazz: not a gypsy // implied daughter of Darkseid though

oh yeah, still interested

@jorgevy: Yes check it out :)

Sock raising sexualization? Nah, you're just exaggerating.

GUUURRRRLLLLLL don't you pull up dem socks !

The reference to The Graduate is a good one. For us males that have witnessed a woman putting on hose (doesn't matter if it's socks or pantyhose) it just does something for me. Hey!!! what's my wife doing with that pair of socks!!!???

Oh yeah, pull up that sock!

rajcomics

Whoo-hoo

@razzatazz: as an apology artists often show Male Superhero's in shower's.

"Well, showing off his hairy legs won't do, can't show the full package either... gonna have to go with the shower again!"

There's a reason sex sells, it's nature.

Good observation there! Although if I'm being honest, personally I don't really find the Supergirl image seductive (as a man). And whenever female characters are obviously sexualized or their outfits are a little bit too skinny and certain parts of their body are a little bit too curvy I feel a bit embarassed. To me, comics shouldn't be sexually charged. Of course, I don't mean to say that sex and sexuality should be banned under a new form of the Comics Code, but I just don't read comics to get turned on and I usually find it a bit of a cheap strategy when comics attempt to do this. If I'm horny I'll go look for porn, not for comics. That being said, I don't think it will ever change either.
