Strike a (Cover) Pose


New promo image for “The Avengers” which would be awesome if only Black Widow wasn’t in a ridiculous and impractical “look at my ass” pose. It just seems unfair that everyone else gets to be heroic and she’s just “Ohai! Pin-Up!” >_<

I’m doing a panel at Penguicon this weekend (Saturday April 28th) on the sexualizing of women and men on book covers.
Check out Jim Hines’wonderfully hilarious posts on this topic.

Tor.com also just did a recent post: Hey Everyone - Stop Taking This Picture.
Come on out and discuss this trend.
