 So.
 
Every prominent woman in this issue is wearing either a cropped t-shirt or a skin-tight body suit. And those in the crop tops cannot seem to keep their underboob in check.
 
In fact, I really don't have a lot to say about this one, and that's because the first page was this:
 
 
That is Stryke. She's a badass assassin who killed Razor. And for some reason, she's posed like a porn star. Now, don't get me wrong. I don't mind a well-rendered drawing of a human body. I like human bodies. But there's just no reason for this aside from titillation - it doesn't help the story, from a written or artistic perspective. It's really just a random, semi-nude woman.
 
One more issue of this tomorrow, then back to Youngblood. I think I can make it.
 
More to follow.
