Hearing a gunshot, Our heroine’s rushes into action! One look at her and men are entranced! It’s Bigbustia (crappy name, I know, shuddup about it)! She leaps into action, running towards the gunshot! She takes a mighty jump up on the rooftops to reach the other side! Suddenly, her chest swings upward, there’s an ungodly -WHUMPF- noise and then blackness… Our Heroine comes to a few hours later, unharmed except for a few bruises. She looks around to see what happened… then she looks down. Muttering to herself something about jumping too hard, our Bigbustia leaps into fighting crime once again…

Case Closed…

THANK FRIGGIN’ GOD, SOMEONE FINALLY SAID IT. I’m sick and tired of how most people nowadays complain about women not having large enough breasts. Listen. Being a female, LARGE BREASTS AREN’T ALL THAT GREAT. I don’t know what the hell there is to look at honestly, and yeah, sure I’m proud of them. But they AREN’T at all comfortable and most women could agree.
I’m finally proud that a MAN out of all of those BOYS could stand up and say that big breasts just aren’t a good superhero attribute. It’s true. If people expect the superhero to be so damn athletic and sporty, bounding off rooftops… well, it isn’t going to be easy with F-sized cups. Sorry.

You have points in my book. Regardless of what other people say, I think it was an EXCELLENT point. Very well stated.

I’ve made a lifelong study of breasts, so yes, I am familiar with their performance characteristics in a variety of conditions. My intense study continues to this day. Which is what bugs me about this particular illustration — the nipples are in the wrong place given what they’re doing. They’re way too high up, leaving way too much breast tissue beneath them. Unless Valkyrie has retractable robo-breasts (which I wouldn’t put past Jeph Loeb), there ought to be much more mass mounded up behind the nipples as well, if they’re being flung so radically.

The reason I hate it so much isn’t because I don’t know anything about anatomy, it’s because I know enough that when it’s egregiously wrong, as it is here, it just jumps out at me. This usage is both gratuitous and anatomically incorrect. Leaping from a flying horse and wielding a broadsword doesn’t make your nipples float to the top of the breast, no matter what the gravity field is.

uh, I think the reason for the up-turned nipples is the effect of gravity. I think that they were going for the “leaping attack” breast mode. when certain breast types get airborne they tend to have a “popping back and up at the same time” action. If you look at the whole panel, you will see what I mean. I am sure this is a stupid question, but, have you ever seen a woman attack someone and her boobs stay perfectly stationary? I didn’t think so. Welcome to the world of reality action comic book boobs.

GOOD GOD YOU CAN PISS AND MOAN WITH THE BEST OF THEM, HUH? Also, the gratuitous use of the word “bad” in your review really helped drive the point home. Hammering that word in over and over was really a good way to show what a competant writer you are.

Didn’t Sequential Tart used to have a column about stuff like this, back in the day? a ‘bizarre breasts’ column or somesuch?

I seem to recall them harping on the issue routinely. It was a while back though.
