Red Hood and the Outlaws #1 W: Scott Lobdell A: Kenneth Rocafort
Oh boy. This is the post where I admit that although I think his whole schtick about the way women are portrayed in comics is far too broadbrush and simplistic, just this once I ABSOLUTELY see where he's coming from.
This is a horrible, HORRIBLE piece of misogynistic crap. Starfire is in it for no reason other than to provide a teenage boy's wank fantasy on every page she appears, and is contorted into ridiculous poses to push her tits or arse into the reader's face - because let's face it, she has to be posing for somebody, right? I mean, wtf is this about?
I tell a lie, she is there for another reason - to have sex with the main characters.
In fact, it's established she's had sex with nearly everybody in the DCU, but that's OK because "Tamaraneans don't see humans as much humans as much more than sights and smells." So basically, casual sex is the order of the day and you're just a conquest she can't recall as part of an animal process. "You don't remember anyone named Dick?" "No."
Lobdell has gone for Deadpool Max with the script and very nearly pulls it off, but I just feel dirty and appalled by the whole thing. I really don't want to touch any of the rest of these, but know I'll be drawn back like a car crash. You all NEED to read this, just to show you how wrong it's possible to get things.
No, you're confusing that with you being a giant bell-end, Scott Lobdell. I want lettuce in my refrigerator, not women.

Just to ram the above
point home (as it were), Scott Lobdell is interviewed in the back of
every book published this week. He's asked what his favourite page is in
the issue and this is his choice:
Not
one with snappy dialogue, not one that drives the plot forward, not one
with a good joke, but one you can have a nice relaxing wank over.
"Kori
just stepping out of the ocean, just basking in the sunshine. I love
the joy on her face. The people of this planet may not want here here..
but God, how she loves this place." Joy? Where? Go and wash your hands,
you pervert.
