Ashamed? Why? I've picked up plenty of books because Character X was making an appearance. Hell, I've got an entire run of the first Alpha Flight series - mainly because of Northstar - and a lot of those books are TERRIBLE.
Well, a uterus isn't always a guarantee of quality, either...
But god, DC's record with female characters has been absolutely atrocious lately. And they clearly have no idea how to market to fans who don't fall into the "Raving Fanboy, 18+" category. It's kind of embarrassing to watch, really. Not that Marvel's doing much better, but still.
the remedy for excessive objectification of female characters is not half-assed objectification of male characters. We do not need an equal and opposite mimbo himbo for each bimbo in a given comic book universe. We need fewer female characters written as bimbos. GOD. Why is this so difficult to understand?
