I'm pretty sure that if Starfire bent forward just one inch more, her back would snap in two. That would probably be more interesting than the whole of that comic.
Ugh. I'd rather forget this comic ever existed. The current portrayal of Starfire is just plain wrong. All those girls who grew up watching the Teen Titans toon, go in a comic shop and find THIS?!?
It's obviously a DC Universe Classics Starfire figure, with a really loose "ab-crunch" joint. That's not the only thing that's loose though...unfortunately.
There's fan service, and then there's just exploitive sadness. Look, why don't they just publish a DCU version of a skin mag that says what it is right up front and out and open, put stuff like this in it--and don't hold back--then in their "regular" mags write and draw versions of super people that exist for some reason other than us to leer at them. Then everybody can have what they want.

Don't know Dustin, but I know the others. Is that Ray talking to Starfire?
That's Roy Harper talking to her in the "New 52" universe.

Sorry, old man rant over.

Are we even sure it's Starfire? Judging by the pose, it might be Plastic Man.

*Shudder*... what Earth 2 Chris (and the webcomic "Shortpacked!", and my own blog's rant about it) said.

Anyone remember the Marvel Swimsuit issues? Those were tasteful compared to this stuff.
