I’m a female teenager, and I have seen girls wearing the exact same ensemble from the waist down at school. So this design makes me giggle a bit. Go Maris Wicks.

Fishnets are part of the “lingerie uniform” some women wear to sexually arouse men. It would have been the same if that girl had on a bra without a t-shirt or even a corset. See, creepy.

Read quick before they delete my post again.

I don’t think many grown women do dress this way (although I know quite a few that would). I also don’t think this character is meant to be a grown woman. I like this design a lot.

Well, is she a child or an adult? In real life I would think that fishnets and red gym shirts would peg you for a prostitute, but this is supehero comics and the real world rules just don’t apply. Visually this is a good design and it really looks like something you might see on a young girl these days. Well except for the stockings, but I don’t see how they are considered innapropriate when without them she would be showing slightly more skin than with them and I don’t see anyone complaining about a young girl in gym shorts.

I don’t run into many grown women that dress this way. I’m a fan of most of the PR featured designs, but not this one. Almost disturbingly bad.

She has a kid now (Sin…awful name). It’d be cool if she grew into the role…even taking on a blonde wig like her mom!

I agree with Dean’s assessment, re: next gen Canary. Jacket, patch, sneakers, and attitude are great. The athletic shorts work in this drawing, but might not translate well into other styles. The fishnets layered with athletic socks are hilarious, and make for fun play on the the whole impractical history of Black Canary’s choice of leggings.

If DC ever does a third Bizarro Comics, they should definitely give Ms. Wicks a call.
