It has been a while since I pitted two intersecting comic book themes against each other. I have previously tackled the use of panamaxes, chokers, in-flight emergencies, grunts and fishnets (the latter was the first blog about comics that I wrote exclusively for this site). After a semi-retirement of this theme, it is time to have another examination brought on by the second issue of Sharazad and the promo art for the third issue. Granted throughout that the eponymous main character is not portrayed as fully clothed, but this takes it to a different level. Granted that female armour in comics is often portrayed in an unrealistic way (mostly through the influence of Red Sonja) but it is still possible to portray female armour as being sexy and at the same time at least marginally useful. In this case I am not exactly what the utility of this stuff would be, maybe if the main character was in the Tron universe or something like that, it might work well for its shininess?

Compared to the Red Sonja armour I am not sure which is less useful:

I guess being a female comic fan means generally having to look the other way when it comes to a lot of the depictions of women if I want access to the stories and the genres. In the case of such armour though, it is almost impossible to not be overwhelmed by the sheer ridiculousness of it.
