| Really? This is a bit silly if you ask me. In today's society, this is offensive? Walmart DC Comics Have Censored Michael Turner’s Artemis and Wonder Woman Thanks to Andrew Elia for spotting this one. But the recent Walmart DC Giant-Sized Superman #9 and #10, reprinting classic stories has been bowdlerising them a little for the Walmart audience. What was once acceptable, for some reason, is no longer kosher. Especially when it comes to how the later Michael Turner drew women. Or rather the clothes he drew on women. Or not. So in these reprinted issues of Superman/Batman by Jeph Loeb and Michael Turner, chosen specially by DC Comics for these Walmart comic books, we have Artemis, sporting a rather specific asymmetrical look on Pardise Island, where she is hanging out with the other Themyscrians. Well, one bit of her seems to be hanging out more than the others.     Check out the whole story and more examples...clickable text |

@OGJackster Looks like Wonder Woman could be Brie Larson’s next role. |

| To be fair, from my understanding Walmart has a bunch of children wandering the aisles. While it may be a tad extreme to edit some comics, Walmarts are supposedly a family environment. To err on the side of prudence would be better for their business than to have an uprising about the comics. Granted, I have no idea how they deal with swimsuit edition.... |

| Yeah... the censorship is because DC took a beating from the Supernan Giant #7 with the death/torture of Lois Lane. Plus they are directing these comics towards the younger audience to get them hooked on comics. But what better way to get young boys hooked on comics then to show a little t&a? This is all because of parents... |

| Just to clarify factual information from not so much...wal mart neither stocks , orders nor makes the decision about what comics are brought in, stocked or displayed. They employ a secondary company that handles all printed matter...magazines, trading cards, books, comics and related. It is a vendor to business arrangement, and they likely are following a contract that existed for years before these comics were ever printed. I am going to bet DC comics itself is being ultra careful what they disperse given the Batman damned controversy followed by the Death of Lois Lane flap..... |

| Violence and trauma is plastered on your nightly news. What would have made people wretch 50 years ago, we now watch with fascination or are numb from seeing so much of it. Case in point. What good does rubber necking on highway over an accident do? I don't want to be stuck in traffic while people see if they can have a glimpse of someone's trauma. My former buddy had the following reasoning for looking. If I am going to be stuck in traffic for an hour, you damn well better believe I want to see some blood and guts. That kind of thinking perplexes me too..... |

| The desensitization of our society has been going on for many years. Who do we have to blame for it? In one word, Hollywood. | ||
