Did Masters of the Universe's Sorceress really need a new neckline that only stops short of her genitals? Clearly someone thinks so - it's almost as badass an update of a children's cartoon series which promoted positive attitudes and equality as that Thundercats comic book where the kid characters were rebooted as Mumm-Ra's sexy concubines.

I read somewhere that women don't like comics as much as men. Can't imagine why.

Gumbercules!

So it's OK to have every single guy in the MotU to be wearing nothing but fur underwear, but a plunging (definitely not offensive though, look at some fashion magazines) is TOO MUCH, and don't forget, it's been a week since SEXIST!!!! COMICS ARE SEXIST!!!!

Is it possible that the art of the original MoU that came as an afterthought along with an action figure 25 years ago was 100 times better than the current art in this DC relaunch?

And I'm not talking about the character designs here, I'm talking about the final product that came out yesterday. F-U-G-L-Y!
