So a (UK?) company that makes kinky underwear for the ladies (or their menfolk) has decided to release a line of superheroine-themed lingerie (potentially NSFW because, y’know, lingerie), with a comic book-cum-catalog to go with. There’s a plot summary of the comic at the link, which I’m hoping was deliberately designed to be campily horrible: all the men of the planet Voluptura die off, or something, so they send a crack team of barely-clad females to Earth to collect sperm, who end up fighting for the Earthmen’s freedom against a totalitarian matriarchy… (if this is not intended as self-parody, then I quail to think what the producers of said lingerie think women actually fantasize about) (assuming this is aimed at women at all, which I’m seriously prepared to consider is not the case). The article has some photos of the comic; setting aside the fact that its main purpose is to cram in as many shots of the lingerie as possible (to the extent that it looks capable of use as soft porn by those who like that sort of thing), it looks excruciatingly terrible (there’s even a panel of semi-clad women firing what I believe to be weapons that look like electric guitars). Worse, it’s apparently first of a continuing series about these “characters”.
And to top it all off, judging from the sample ads shown, the lingerie comes in two flavors: stuff that is hideous, and stuff that looks just like any other lingerie brand. None of it looks remotely superheroine-esque. I’m sure there are thousands of slavering fanboys even now planning to add this gem to their collections (porn stash or comics stash, you pick); whether they can get their girlfriends to pose in the chain outfit with the little black pasties (NSFW) is another matter entirely.
