Image doesn't really work for daughters.

I saw that cover in a comic store in my 20s, and it made me do a "what am I doing with my life?" reaction.



Well, that's something of an edge case given that Erik Larsen originally came from DC & Marvel, so he has that over-the-top exaggerated anatomy style, but yeah it's indefensible.

Most of the newer Image stuff is really mature and has some fantastic female role models, see for example Lazarus, Shutter, or Copperhead, all have strong female leads.


I'm not familiar with Image anymore, but I remember Jim Lee's Wildcats and it was generally "supersexy females with ridiculous breast implants". And they had a couple more superhero teams, whose names I can't remember, which were similar to Wildcats in this regard.


Gen13. It's possible that it was meant as irony in just how far you can take cheesecake.

(Jim Lee got bought out by DC, so those characters are all part of DC continuity now.)
