Avengers trailer hasn`t leaked or Marvel has been too fast at removing them.

Sexual Harassment at Comic-Con in the Spotlight



73531e0268bfe44ef840bcb257bb53766323ffbf.jpg



SAN DIEGO (AP) — Amid the costumes and fantasy of this weekend’s Comic-Con convention, a group of young women drew widespread attention to a very real issue — allegations of sexual harassment at the annual comic book convention.

Geeks for CONsent, founded by three women from Philadelphia, gathered nearly 2,600 signatures on an online petition supporting a formal anti-harassment policy at Comic-Con.

Conventioneers told Geeks for CONsent they’d been groped, followed and unwillingly photographed during the four-day festival.

Meanwhile, what Geeks for CONsent and others regarded as blatant objectification continued at this year’s convention. Scantily clad women were still used as decoration for some presentations, and costumed women were described as “vaguely slutty” by panel moderator Craig Ferguson. When Dwayne Johnson made a surprise appearance to promote “Hercules,” 10 women in belly-baring outfits stood silently in front of the stage for no apparent reason.

Groping, cat-calling and other forms of sexual harassment are a larger social issue, not just a Comic-Con problem. And many comics and movies still portray women as damsels in distress. But Geeks for CONsent says things are amplified at the pop-culture convention where fantasy and character costumes play such a large role.

I'm sorry - if you don't want to be gawked at, don't wear metal bikins. Don't do so, and then complain when men oogle you. How is this not common sense?

They shouldn't be yelled at or groped.

But they should absolutely have their picture taken. How can they expect people to ask for their permission for a photo?

Sorry if this is obvious or already answered -

Who's the floating guy in a cape behind Quicksilver in the promo poster?

Have not subscribed to WIZARD and have not read comics regularly in a loooooooong time. You do us all a service, my friend :laugh:


Can't wait for the gritty reboot of Lil Jinx



Who the **** reads WIZARD anymore? :tounge:


I used to work for Wizard. They closed down and are now an online periodical I believe.

Deadpool test footage with Ryan Reynolds. This is what could have been but Fox axed it.
