...it was a lot easier to overlook the boob socks when they were aging her up in storylines as opposed to aging her down. *sigh*

Ill gotten powers or not, I am glad that Cassie is finally taking an active role again instead of just being a source of angst for Scott or a damsel in distress

And the Stinger costume looks great. I'm hoping that this becomes a Giant-Man/Ant-Man situation for her where she becomes Stature at giant size and Stinger at ant size

The writing of this book so far gives me no hope that being Stinger will work out for Cassie.

This. I think it'll end poorly for her and end up being more angst for Scott.

So you had to sexualize the girl thats been aged down 13-15.Like really? Who wanted this?


Well hopefully she keeps the powers and leaves the book.

She was 13 when she became Stature. This is kinda tame compared to that issue of Young Avengers where she went giant size for the first time

When she became Stature, she was 16.

No, she was 14. People kept asking how old she was in those early issues of Young Avengers, and she replied "15. (In June)."

(The implication was June was... soonish from when those stories took place... But maybe not...)

So we were both wrong about her age

But that doesn't really change the fact that this isn't any worse than how she was drawn in Young Avengers



Now that's sexualizing a teenager.

If we accept (hope) that she's 15, this really isn't any worse than your average gymnast in terms of snugness and size. And since she's presented as an athlete, at least she's in shape.

I wouldn't say this is sexualized, not any more than any other teen heroine we've seen over the years. I agree it's disconcerting, since we were just seeing her in baggy, concealing civilian clothes, but hey, she -does- admit that the costume fits as ridiculous as ever.

I've seen worse. So much worse. I doubt they're going to play her as sexy, given how they've been portraying her otherwise.

Well...yeah it may be also that I was reading Fairy Tail this morning when T.A.ing , and that felt awkward with this week's chapter.

Par for the course. Let's not pretend that sexualizing underage girls is somehow new.

That it's happened before doesn't mean we have to tamely accept it happening again.

And yet they never seem to learn when we DO complain, and Greg Land drawing Pixie like that should be banned by law.

The HELL is up with that poor woman's torso?! And her lower legs? She looks like she's had a couple of rounds in Willy Wonka's taffy stretching machine!

She's not a woman. She's a 13-14 year old girl.

Girl, sorry. Point stands--those proportions make her look like Slenderman's teenage cousin.

The costume itself doesn't strike me as particularly sexualized, but the way she's drawn-- particularly in that last panel-- is raising my eyebrows.

+1, the costume is fine, but the pose is dodgy.

+2. Also the silhouettes where she's approaching the helmet have just enough shading to suggest nudity--or at least, skin-tight enough to count as nudity.

The more I look at this, the more creeped out I feel.

Surprised this hasn't been pointed out... that costume and codename are what Cassie Lang used in the MC2 universe. The helmet's maybe a little different, but otherwise, that's straight-up MC2 Stinger right there.

Wonder if'll lead anywhere interesting...

The fact that she's prepared to go to a criminal supervillain creator (and one genre savvy enough to be aware of, and thus likely prepare for, betrayal to get her powers back doesn't sound like any take on Cassie I'm particularly interested in, nor do I see this ending well.
