#$@&! Manara

I don’t understand people who thinks this is a nice drawing. That’s not the Scarlet Witch, that’s the bog standard Manara woman cosplaying her, with her far too long legs, strange breasts, porn face and all.

Manara has always annoyed me to be honest, as I never understood why he is so popular or respected. He’s a decent draughtsman, but no more than that, who has specialised in really quite dodgy softcore stroke books. An invisible man rapes women until they like it, or a scientist implants a device in the brain of the woman who rejected him to turn her into a slut but it turns out the device doesn’t work and she really is a slut; not very feminist or sex positive and worse, all you get to see is some tit and arse. It’s just gutless and boring and to see the same strange fake orgasmic expressions on Marvel superheroines is just offensive.

But then Marvel thought Greg Land was a good artist too.
