I'm going to weigh in on this one before I go on vacation, because there's something important about this (NSFW) cover that I'm not seeing mentioned in the posts.
Look at Black Cat, she's hiding rather than unconscious (see how her left eye is shut?). She's huddled and trying to shrink away from the tentacle. Very vulnerable, very scared, and she's the one with the goo on her chest.
What pisses me off more than anything else (more than the breasts, the tentacles, the for the boys mentality, the blatant disregard of their own rating system) is when you see that, and take this retcon into account.
Yeah.
Fuck you again, Kevin Smith.
And fuck you, Marvel Comics.

Well gosh, isn't that...tasteful? Nothing like upping the ante, Marvel.
That's a very popular look for girls in hentai too :(
(dun ask >.>)
But.. yus.. now with that retcon, it's even... worse :(
*sighs*
Have a good vacation! :D
It's like they deliberately want to marginalise their audience.
But, but...it iz teh haaaawtzorz!
Yeah, remember back when every comic tried to look like manga?
I'm pretty sure the people at Marvel just realized that hentai makes a LOT of money
"Joey Q: How can we capitalize on this x-treeeeeme new fad?"
"Marvel Goon: What about Colleen Wing? She's hot, japanese and in a team with other 3 hot chicks, let's have them fight a tentacle monster"
"JQ: :-D"
Comming next from the House of Ideas: lolicon starring Katie Power
Maybe Marvel should rechristen itself the "House of BAD Ideas", because they seem to be having a lot of them lately.
Detective #823 was like that cover, only on damn near every page. If Poison Ivy had been wearing plaidJapanese schoolgirl outfit, it would've been hentai.
What the hell kind of demographic are Marvel and DC looking for? The BTK Killer is behind bars.
Oh, quit complaining. Nobody is forcing you to buy it. It´s just a damn comic. This is why us feminists aren´t respected anymore. Because fat lesbian bitches like you complain about EVERYTHING.
Us Feminists? "Fat lesbian bitches complain about EVERYTHING"?
Quesada, is that you?
I know this comment is a bit late, especially as it's in regards to the post you linked to.
I've read about the "Rape of Wonder Woman" thing too. Aside from the fact that actually doing that would be tasteless and insulting, there's still a nagging question to that potential storyline: who did they plan on having the rapist be? I mean, she's one of the powerful people on Earth.
