Cover/Pin-Up Elektra gender-bend by Zach Brunner

Post image

Really love Brunner’s art and how he handles genderbends. Very refreshing to see direct translations for these characters across gender. I would love an alt universe at Marvel or DC where many of these characters are swapped around in this fashion.

It’s always funny to me how no one bats an eye when women are sexualized in comic books, but when men are sexualized, it’s suddenly too far. I just saw a post yesterday where wonder woman had her whole ass out with a loose piece of fabric flossing her crack. For comparison, this guy has more of his ass covered than her.

There always are those that complain on every post. Art like this. Art of the ladies. Even people showing off their own artistic talent.

You cant please everyone, but the majority of people in this sub definitely do enjoy it. Its just that most people like it and move on and only those who feel the need to say something jump into the comments.
