Concerning the infamous Brokeback Pose

[carabas]

There are lots of professional fitness chicks that pose this way. They're in all the muscle mags but comic fans aren't known to crack open anything that has to do with fitness.

Can you think of a single, good reason whyt Black Canary would pose like this while having a meeting with the JLA or kicking some bad guys ass?

To land the much coveted cover shoot of Super-heroine Fitness Weekly?

Most of the time it's cover art where they pose like that - and posing is the whole damn point on cover art.

It really isn't. It only became that recently with all the "generic covers" that don't tell you a damned thing about what's inside.

It can be a bit of both, plus ten-thousand other stuff:

it will even be a most non-singular thing who even decides what any cover is gonna look like - it can be the artist both as the editor both as the property-holder or either the publisher,

so aside from the fact that how things appear to look being totally in the eye of the beholder, it doesn't serve to be appreciating anything as straightforward or singular at all.

A rational standpoint would be that any cover or any art or basically any comic could be made to look like anything at all, for multiple reasons.

If anything may appear to be looking shocking or ugly or whatever that won't mean that it is. Since maybe the onlooker simply needs to work up more of a perspective.

I'd say.

Not in my experience.
