Wow, so the art in Birds of Prey is really ridiculously uneven, huh?

I'm really not, you understand, a visually oriented person, but. Wow. 36 and 38 were possibly the first comic books I've read where I've been so distracted by the horrible art that I'm completely pulled out of the story and can't even follow the plot.

Wow. Those certainly are breasts.

And the angle on that panel is necessary ... why?

Seriously, we get it. You like her ass.

I don't think the human body even twists that way.

This one just makes me despair for the concept of human anatomy.

What the fuck, man. What the fuck.

Special bonus: completely different artist from 35: Babs is going to EAT YOUR SOUL and gnaw on your YUMMY YUMMY FLESH.

In other news, I spent yesterday reading as much Cass/Tim and Cass/Bruce and gen of those same characters as I could find, along with a bunch of Cass/Steph. I want mooooooooore.

Also, Batgirl/Robin really is an OTP for the ages. OTPs with eight different permutations are the BEST! (Though I really can't imagine Cass/Jason. I haven't seen anything for Dick/Cass or Babs/Steph, either, of course, but ... now I would totally read that. Hee.)

New icon! Keywords: dick is a doll. See, it's funny because it works on TWO levels!

Wait until you get to the Benes pencils. He's unable not to draw pretty, pretty people, but uh. He really loves ass.

Heh. I think Benes starts on the next issue I have -- I stopped yesterday when I had read everything prior to Gail Simone starting as writer.

I hate it when the art is totally distracting like that. I can't stand it.

UNCOOL.

Oh, BoP. The book where the wonderful, pro-feminist writing is matched by TERRIBLE CHEESECAKE ART. Who's drawing these issues, btw? I started reading (and first noticed this problem) when it was Benes, who at least is more *competent* than this.

You know what's funny? Benes bugged me at the time, but when we got to Bennett? I was like "I... miss Benes. WAAAAAH." :\

All those up there (with the exception of Babs skull face) are James Fry.

Ooh! The lovely "you can check out my ass and rack at the same time!" shot. Lovely.

I guess I'm kind of lucky I hadn't come across it so much before now, but ... ew.
