Walmart DC Comics Have Censored Michael Turner’s Artemis and Wonder Woman8907

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.

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....

Yes, I find the uncensored pictures are exposing too much. This thread has to be stopped!!

Yes, a nation of families with small impressionable children will be no match for us nerds should we resist. I agree.

If I could find a gif of a mom slapping a comic book out of a child’s hands angrily I’d enter it here.

Top shelf! By the time they reach an age they can reach them they probably Know what they’re looking out...and likely targeting it.

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...

Maybe there's, I don't know, a whole other half of the population? I don't see young boys missing too much here.

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.....

Same ol; same ol for hundreds of years - Human body is disgusting & embarrassing & will make young kids do horrible things; but violence is a-ok - it's just make believe afterall.

I'll never understand it.

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.
