racklestackles: From Captain America

From Captain America (2002) #30 penciled by Scot Eaton. I thought this was a good example of how men and women tend to be drawn differently for no good reason in comics. Captain America and Diamondback have both been suspended by manacles. Cap’s stance is powerful and his face is defiant whereas Diamondback’s pose is that of sexualized submission.

Bonus: a shot of Diamondback from Cable & Deadpool #20 penciled by Patrick Zircher. Some of the weirdest looking boobs I’ve ever seen.

Hey!  It’s American comics boobsocks!

Also, that’s a good point about the differences in their poses.  Cap’s pose would make a good Psylocke Collaboration redraw.
