captwinghead's review against another edition

1.5 stars
The .5 is for the 2 seconds of emotional conflict in this book before we're right back to tits and ass shots. Jesus fucking christ. This is one of those comics that makes me hate boobs for a moment and that really sucks because boobs are amazing, okay?
I wish I could track down this artist and tell him porn is free. He doesn't have to draw women like this and create his own masturbatory material. It's out there and it's readily available. Why anyone thought this art was acceptable, I'll never know. I couldn't even focus on the plot because it was so goddamn atrocious. Misty and Colleen are contorted and twisted into such impossible positions for the sole purposes of showing as much tits and ass as possible. There's a cover where I swear I saw the outline of Colleen's clitoris.
Oh! Almost forgot, there's a shower scene and then Misty has to fight in a thigh length bathrobe. This is a plot from a porn; it does not belong in your comic, Mr. Gray.
On top of that, I'm wondering if this guy has ever seen a pair of breasts in real life because he doesn't seem to understand how boobs work? There are several panels where Colleen and Misty's breasts seem to have their own gravitational orbit. It's confusing because I didn't know they had that mutant ability.
Ugh, I'll try to move on. So, there's a female villain here (and I got to know her breasts before I really got to know her). She appears romantically interested in Colleen and I'm sure that's here just so the artist had something else to add to his porn fantasy.
I wondered if the writer didn't like Misty because in this book, she's portrayed as angry and... angry. Aside from the brief foray into emotional depth, she hits people and yells at people and slaps everyone except Colleen. So, yay, the angry black woman trope. Thanks for this bullshit.
It's hard for me to say Iron Fist shows up because of a well intentioned idea to bring the old gang back together or if he's here because Gray didn't think it probable for the women to save themselves. Considering his treatment of women in this book, I think it's the latter.
So, this was fucking awful. The few moments of levity between Colleen and Misty can't save it. It's just sexualized, poorly written, offensive in its representation of black women and it's just boring. It's definitely not a recommend from me.
It's a bummer because I can see what a female writer like Gail Simone could have done with this book. Or, since Marvel hates hiring women, someone like David F Walker probably could've done something pretty cool with it, too.
Jesus Christ, Marvel: hire me to write your female led books. This is fucking embarrassing.

Men drawing women issues aside (because let's face it, it's just a thing in comics), I had a lot of fun with this! I got a lot about who Misty and Colleen are as individuals and as a partnership. Ricadonna as a villain was great because she embraced her bimbo-ism and created a high stakes challenge for our girls. And normally I get upset when they just throw in one of the bigger named male characters just to have them, but Tony Stark, The Punisher and Iron Fist actually served purposes and didn't take away from Misty and Colleen's adventure.

okay... OKAY... THIS!!! I genuinely loved this. The dynamic of Colleen and Misty was pretty much my favorite part of the Marvel Netflix shows and I was so sad we never really saw the Daughters of the Dragon or Nightwing Restorations or anything on the screen. So I had to read this. I love their dynamic. The banter, the action, and the complete baddassery.

3.5 stars. This was campy and over the top, but it was fun. I'm not, nor have I ever been a huge fan of Palmiotti's though.

Horribly sexist. Looks like softporn whilst degrading women. Couldn't even concentrate on the story as I was distracted by trying not to accidentally flash myself with some private part of the protagonists I don't wanna see.

The graphics for this comic did not need to be as lewd as they were.

I liked the characters and the story. I get the feel the art was going for but the tits and ass are gratuitous the book would have been better without. The gratuitous slurs and transphobia were all problems. Off to find more Misty Knight, though. She's the shit.
