I've seen some good ones that have women wearing things other than corsets. I kinda like the idea of steampunk but I've never been into it as much as others. Maybe if there was a good comic that used it I'd like it more.
That was the reason I was always annoyed with the Hellfire Club in X-Men. Either make it hyper sexual for both genders or make both wear time period clothing.
Legenderry by Bill Willingham has just started and is a steampunk version of some of the Dynamite characters (Vampirella, Green Hornet, Red Sonja) and seems promising. It's only 6 or 7 issues, I think; issue 1 wasn't a bad start.
Oh and Joe Benitez's Lady Mechanika has absolutely stunning art but it looks like it's never going to get finished - #3 was out two years ago and still no sign of #4.
Steampunk is starting to annoy me, mainly because all of the women are portrayed as wearing corsets...on the outside.
ReplyDeleteThe men aren't shown wearing their underwear in public!

I do remember some posts mentioning it. Maybe I'll give it a try in trade form. Willingham is sort of hit or miss with me.
