Forget sexuality--which of those two Carol Danvers(es) looks more heroic?
And which would be more likely to be seen in a Renaissance painting or classic sculpture? Or is fine art sexist too?

Yeah, I had a the same thought there Eric. Talk about conflicted.

If only people had followed Dave Cockrum's model...
Heroic, sexy, nothing "hyper" in any way.

I was hoping that myself, but if you look here, (you can preview some of the interiors)...and ah, yep: Wandering toward androgynous.

The art in the preview I looked at was not something I want to see when I read a comic. Also, I clicked a preview and a full page was not displayed all at once. A portion of the page would be displayed showing dialog and a bit of art on the page. When I clicked next page it would shift and zoom to the next area of dialog on the page. The preview was for a full page spread with different dialog on the page. Hope I am being clear. It was not something that made me want to keep reading the book, even if I liked what I was looking at. Is this how digital comics usually work?

Maybe it's because my wife has fairly short hair but Imo it takes a lot more than short hair to be androgynous. My personal experience is a lot of people from the military including women tend towards shorter haircuts so this doesn't seem all that strange to me.

Dare I say, is this Marvel's poor attempt at diversity? Taking a long established character and making her gay? I certainly hope it's not because she sports a short cropped hair style now. Just because a woman has short hair doesn't mean she's a lesbian.
