I haven’t had a chance to read this series and certainly not all the covers were up to this standard, but can we talk about how awesome Leia looks on all of these? Can we?
I always found it weird that a common justification was “freedom of movement” for drawing/presenting women in bikinis or lingerie with random bits tacked on as armor. Given that battle bikinis and lingerie armor generally come with accessories such as high heels, spikes jutting against the skin, and extremely tight mini-skirts, etc, such outfits would usually impede movement or even harm the wearer if they moved in certain ways. So, I’m fairly certain that the “freedom of movement” argument is kinda moot.
Finally a kind of post this blog was created for, YAY! 😀 Great point!
A very special comic for this Throwback Thursday, one that illustrates the ongoing problem with so so many designs. Remember designers: Armor is supposed to help you survive, not hinder you!

Spartan Holly Tanaka is a human soldier of the United Nations Space Command who served in the years following the Human-Covenant War. She was one of the three survivors of the 2550 glassing of her homeworld Minab known to have endured the three year struggle on its barren surface. Shortly after their rescue Tanaka would enlist in the UNSC Army, becoming a non-commissioned officer in the engineers, and later volunteered for augmentation and training as a SPARTAN-IV supersoldier. Holly comes from a multiracial family of Black and East Asian descent, courtesy of Holly’s mother and father, respectively. She was raised with her brothers in the colony’s capital city of Kynur where their parents managed the construction company Tanaka Exploration
