Who Is... MADAME MIRAGE?

Paul Dini knows. The rest of us find out in April.

Madame Mirage, let me be the first to direct you to what will be your new home here on LJ, scans_daily. Let me also introduce you to the two filtering tags that you will eventually be using at all times: "boobs don't work that way" and "anatomy doesn't work that way." Have a pleasant stay and for your own sake, I hope your spine and back muscles are made of flexible metals.

You ain't a-just whistlin' Bolero. But Dini's writing is so good, I'll give it a chance.

Yeah, it looks like it might be fun. I've been reading less well-written comics with as ... memorable examples of anatomically impossible comic artist dream women as we find in the Madame, here. Might as well enjoy the dialogue for a change.

That was the first thing I was thinking. Regardless of how good the story is there's a level of fanservice beyond which I find it nearly impossible to take a character seriously.

Maybe there's an in-character reason for her anatomy. She was struck by an alien breast-enhancement ray and now seeks a way to reverse it while simultaneously curing the back-bending scoliosis which seems to affect her ability to move not at all. (chuckle)

The twisted thing is that there's actually a superhero with almost that exact origin story (http://www.supermegatopia.com/comics/buxomgal.php?thisLink=bg01-01.gif) (link is wildly unsafe for work).

Heh, yeah, I was thinking of her when I wrote it.

Cool. Very cool. (My only quibble: I'm pretty sure that breasts don't work that way.)

I for one would like to welcome our misshapen breasted, freakish anatomized overlords...

Looks a bit painful...

I thought her name was Madam Migraine. Seriously.
