I choose two pictures, because while i do agree that comics many times do objectify women, by drawing them in tight fitting costumes, minimal amounts of clothing, and large breast. (as seen in the top picture Scarlet Witch) They also do the same with men. the bottom picture is a drawing of two of my favorite super heroes (Wiccan, and Speed) and they too are in tight fitting clothes, that outline their muscles and if they'd been drawn facing the front you can be sure that their costumes would outline other body parts. This is largely due to the fact that in todays culture sex sells, you'll see it in things like underwear commercials for both men and women. Comics writers and illustrators have obviously caught on to this idea and are milking it for all its worth, and as long as it keeps working for them, they will keep on doing it.
