Besides, if you really want to be offended, you should look at how female characters are drawn in comics. You wouldn't think there is a woman alive with smaller than a C cup. SciFi/Fantasy has nothing on Marvel and DC as far as pandering to adolescent male fantasies goes.

Yes, sadly. I think it is becoming large enough to impact profits though, since covers have been getting better over the years. And we're actually talking about this kind of thing now instead of one side shouting the other down.
LOL Western comics. There's a reason I don't read Marvel or DC anymore. Although with the rise in indie and webcomics, that's also getting some attention and criticism now, so maybe in the future I can get back into mainstream comic fandom.
