Mulan: Revelations (2015)  //  Dark Horse Comics

Though the future boasts endless technological wonders, only a very few can afford access to them. As a new virus rages through the rich and poor, threatening all of humanity, a warrior is awakened to stop the evil puppeteers behind it all! Centuries after her ancestor and namesake fought for China, a new Mulan has been chosen by the ancient Chinese immortals in a final battle for the world!

So this seems pretty amazing, and what I really like is that not only is the Mulan from Ancient China treated as a serious character who goes into battle ready and doesn’t have to stay looking pretty – but her cyberpunk counterpart looks pretty amazing too:

Turns out, it doesn’t take an impossible amount of effort to make a male character look both quite sexually available and genuinely powerful at the same time. All without contorted posing or questionable anatomy.

So, why it is so difficult to depict female characters in the same manner, if they’re supposed to be “empowered”?
