    Default Thor Vs Glowing Female Genitalia?

    Thank you for all those who wrote to me after seeing the cover to Avengers Vs X-Men #4 as Thor trying to face down Phoenix, as man trying to face his fear of a glowing vagina.



    I don't know, it may be reaching. I know that the X-Men's Dark Phoenix Saga has been described as a feminist comic for boys, and yes even with the Hellfire Club, the mind rape of Phoenix by Mastermind and her ultimate suicide, it's still seen by some as a feminist text, the use of the Phoenix should be seen in that light, the embodying of female power as both a destructive and a creative force - yet one interpreted through self sacrifice. And true, we have been mocking earlier Avengers Vs X-Men covers for their yaoist tendencies - but I'm still not sure whether seeing this cover to issue 4 of the series in such a symbolic fashion is justified or not.

    What would Nathan Fillion say?

    You're not helping, Nathan. Although it probably has a way to go to beat this one, from DC Comics a few years ago...

    Looking at his stance, I'd say Thor is 'up' to the challenge. (I always thought the Phoenix Saga was a take on eating disorders, but what do I know?)

    It's been awhile since I've seen one in person, but I don't think that's what a vagina looks like.

    At least you're honest. I don't think any of these juvenile nerds have ever seen one. And if they think a misconstrued picture on a comic is a vagina, then clearly they won't be getting anywhere near one anytime soon.

    Wow... How the tiny Thor and his big Hammer-nis will please the huge apricot of the Phoenix?? You could that size doesn't matter, but there... It is like an Hobbit who wants to do a female ogre...

    But, phew, this inter course () is safe: Thor has his helmet-condom. I know, I know, i am gross...

    But I am still there!!!! => EXIT

    I am doing the DC and Vertigo singles... and the new titles of 2011/12 are already listed on Amazon at real lower prices in trade format!!!
    Am I stupid?

    It's pushing it with the AvsX cover, but man, that OMAC cover wasn't even pretending at all. Just blatant there.
