This piece explores how female sexuality is portrayed in modern comic books. Well written and heartbreaking. While I personally don't care to read anything published much past 1986 (unless Joss Whedon wrote it), I love the comic book medium and I'm troubled that with the freedom given by abandoning the Comics Code this is the way women are being portrayed and all the various messages that sends.
On a positive note, I like the way Laura Hudson constructed her article with images that -literally- illustrate her point and a myriad of appropriate hyperlinks. I think she fails to address that the issue isn't new and maybe could have looked into the history of women in comic books a bit more to create a fuller picture.
