Detaching Your Leg To Establish Dominance

That bat creature is freaking out because Mustard Sonja just cut off her own leg to show dominance.

Just Like A Real Human

Apparently being a real human means your breasts are encased in your clothing like fruits and kinda float in the air like balloons.

Team Mantis Girls

This is from the manual of an old survival horror game (which in many ways feels like a predecessor to Resident Evil) and, looking through it, I was wondering if the heroines are themselves

cover of Power Girl Vol. 3 #3 from the "Power Girl: Uncovered" cover collection issue, showing Power Girl in a white bodysuit with boob window wearing blue gloves in a red Superman symbol jacket, she is floating in the air with the words "GRL PWR" behind her with her arms up and in a boobs and butt pose with her butt facing the audience viewpoint and chest swiveled to show both breasts as well

GRL PWR at max

Power Girl's face makes this feel like a photoshoot where she's like "it's kinda uncomfortable to keep doing the boobs and butt pose like this, have I exhibited enough GRL PWR yet?" and the photographer is like "no."

cover of Lady Death: Treacherous Infamy #1 from Coffin Comics that shows Lady Death (white skinned white haired woman with supernatural white eyes in a black leather corset and black thong with black thigh highs and elbow gloves), she's kneeling on the ground facing away from the viewer, her back arched out while holding a sword in her hands between her legs away from the viewer, her buttcheeks are both facing the audience and her lower leg and butt are much lower than the higher one and looks disconnected

Catwoman is as confused as the rest of us

Catwoman's glaring at her body like she's also wondering what's going on with it.

That Infamous Heroes for Hire tentacle cover

This is a relatively old cover I'm surprised hasn't been on this blog before but I can't seem to find looking through the archives (if you find it let me know).
