The Outhouse - The Greatest Comic Book Forum

File this one under the WTF file...

I have nothing but the utmost respect for Sara Pichelli.  She's a female creator working on one of the highest profile projects this year.  However, that doesn't mean that her cover designs are exactly well thought out.

Case in point, her variant for Spider-Men #2.



It's a very intimate scene, with Miles Morales and Peter Parker slowly undressing each other, starting with the masks.  At first, I thought I was just reading too much into things, but several comic boards have noticed the unintentional eroticism of the cover with similar "WTF?!" reactions. 

While we know that he's not a weirdo, Peter Parker should really know better than to put himself in these situations.  As a former schoolteacher and near victim of sexual abuse as a child, he probably should know better than to pull off clothes of a scrawny, underaged alternate universe version of his alter-ego, even if he does think that it's himself under the mask.  If MJ ever saw this, she'd start thinking that the Spider-Marriage got erased for very different reasons...

I'm trying to figure out how Miles is pulling of Peter's mask.

I am not overly a fan of Pichelli's work.

That cover sure isn't gonna do much good either.

There's a reason they call it a "cycle of abuse". People who were abused as children have a higher chance of becoming abusers themselves. And schoolteachers do sometimes cross the lines as well...

How long has this been going on, Parker? Just why exactly did that Steel Spider kid create a metal bodysuit to protect himself from?

Fingers. Grasping the material. Super strength.

Look, treat it like a Liefeld drawing. Don't think about it and save your sanity.

The mask would have to be shitty construction if the seam on the back of the mask popped for Miles to be pulling it off Peter from the front instead of the top.

Peter's comic book universe is unlike his movie version. No old Spalding balls to convert to costumes...

Many women like yaoi and shotacon.
As with us men and our porn, some women are better at hiding this preference than others.

[Log-Man]

That's hot.

As a stark raving homo, I have to say I see nothing erotic about that.

The idea and art are nice though.
