It's official: 007 franchise ordered artists to cover hot women

It's official, modern James Bond is becoming more and more progressive: hot women (if there's any left) must wear decent clothing and show minimum skin.

Veteran comic book artist Aaron Lopresti has revealed that Dynamite Entertainment required him to censor his original cover to James Bond: Agent of Spectre in order to avoid portraying the eponymous secret agent as “a sexist character.” [...] Lopresti then revealed that, despite the sheer quality of the work and the specific request by a Dynamite editor for the piece to homage Steranko, the same editor eventually demanded that the scantily-clad woman to Bond’s left be covered up

Here you have a concept for the empowered Bond chicks to come.

I suggest all of you anti-WOKE trolls find a more effective way to De-WOKING your children and grandchildren, otherwise you're just sounding like all of those white bigots in the 70s who cried when they had to share public bathrooms with colored people.

[–] kukuxu (5409) 3 years ago

No worries. There will be no such a thing as "woke grandchildren". Wokeness is a suicide cult, and one of its consequences is the desire to be replaced as a way of expiation. There will be Muslim grandchildren, and black grandchildren, and hispanic grandchildren and such.

Don't think they're gonna adopt wokeness. Wokeness is a white religion. Once they replace us, their own culture will become dominant. Check modern South-Africa: there's no wokeness there right now. It's just standard black African shithole culture.

BTW, it's interesting how recurrent in wokes is to trying to associate non-believers with negative stereotypes, from nazis to 'bigots in the 70s who cried'. That's a very usual behavior in religious people. When you lack arguments, you try to demonize others, often by labeling or trying to associate them with negative stereotypes.

You practice the very thing you say Wokes do so in essence your logic is circular and contradictory.

Hilarious. Dynamite typically has 20 variant covers for the books, and they all look like soft core porn.

Sometimes they can give Zenescope a run for their money!

the long noses are destroying our favorite childhood memories by killing the things we love most. honestly i dont care we still have a huge library of old James Bond films that are actually badass if the new stuff is gonna suck fine i aint gonna be watching it. have to much of a life now and better things to do then to keep up what these sjw morons are gonna ruin next. i was a broke and bored kid when i watch all the classic 1960s James Bond with Sean Connery they will always hold a special place in my heart. but now i have money and time to do real stuff life travel and explore. watchin the new James Bond is no longer on my bucketlist. be happy it happened not sad that it is over. they can take our childhood movies and make them shit but they cannot take away our childhood memories of how badass movies used to be!!!

This is about a comic book cover. And, for the record, I think the redone cover is better.

Sure. Saudi Arabia does something similar with music albums. Here you have both the original cover and the Saudi Arabia version.

And, for the record, in the Katy Perry album, I think the Saudi Arabia redone cover is better. But... is that the point?

I think the redone cover is in better quality and taste.
1. I do think it's funny she's holding a gun while wearing a dress!
2. I also think it's hilarious Bond is carrying TWO GUNS!
3. It's so freaking funny there are even more guns(and bullets!) on the cover!

Violence everywhere is OK in this age of mass shootings but we worry about covering a sexy woman wearing a bikini!

Yep, interesting isn't it, like a reflective image of the mind-set completely removed from the reality.

Better than holding a gun while wearing lingerie (it wasn't a bikini).
