Power Girl by Francis Manapul

A beautiful, confident Power Girl. Yes, the artist does make a difference. Yes, the pose does make a difference.

I love Manapul.

This is lovely and iconic. She looks heroic instead of looking assembled for the benefit of the male gaze. Too often, comic book heroines look like the product of a recipe of Western recipe for mass-produced wank material (F-cups boobs, one splash bubbles, one small uniform finely-shredded, generous helping of bleached hair, two blue eyes, one gallon skim milk). I always like seeing them depicted as heroes who happen to be female-bodied.
