I think the Baroness' sexuality does not need to be pushed in the artwork. and frankly none of the females in GI Joe or Marvel should be sexualized, its not necessary. It is fully implied (with reguard to Baroness). We all know what she does and who she is. Honestly comics don't really need to go down that road... Baroness doesn't need to be over"hyped" if you get my drift for fanboys and men to buy/ download, or get anything with her on it. In this case the card art is neat but could have gone with less up on "top". GI joe needs less "sexualization" and needs more vitalization which makes it friendly across the board. My daughter does not need to think women are sexual objects that get what they want by using their femininity and, and my sons don't need to lust after stupid comics drawn by men who could be drawing their art for a wider base. GI JOE is for everyone not just perverted men. To me this is silly. I long for the 80s and I know things were not perfect back then either... but it wasn't always so "in your face" like it is today.

The new cover art looks good except the breasts are way too big. We know what size they were established to be in 1984 and the editors should enforce that size on the artists. Everyone thought she was hot in the '80s already, so why do they need to redesign her body now to be a different shape than it was then?
Bottom line though, this art still pales compared to the original. Last edited by JediJones; 06-24-2015 at 05:29 PM.. |

Wait, seriously? I thought the whole point was these to have an actual figure attached. Whatbis the appeal of just the picture of the figure?

Man, they got me good for a second. I really thought an actual action figure was going to be included, similar to the 25th comic packs, lol. THAT..would have been awesome.

Would you prefer if the picture made her slightly chubby,or had a female mustache, or perhaps she had crooked teeth? How about a big nose or pale skin from being inside all the time. Yes, baroness would look like that if we were being honest, and we are NOT being honest.
We usually forget but sexually attractive people are usually good looking? And if it looks good it sells. I can understand why it's annoying, but sex really does sell. |

I think it's more that standards have changed. I can easily see an artist or editorial looking at that pic JediJones posted of the original card art and saying: "Make her more friendly. Her breasts should be bigger and her waist smaller."
I add that poor Sienna Miller had to wear chicken cutlets or whatever the hell, and squeeze up her cleavage because Sommers thought her breasts weren't big enough in ROC. I haven't seen American Sniper yet, but did Clint do that to her, too? |

I think the face is trying to hard to be soft and cute. She should look a bit more bitchy.
