The majority of this comic isn’t really worth reviewing. It’s made for the four people on the planet who are so enamored with fashion that they really need to get their hands on a comic book that features Z-level Marvel women being sassy in Central Park. If people really do talk the way these characters do, I’m especially grateful that I haven’t, like, met them. The art is a less cheesecakey Grimm’s Fairy Tales. Apparently, no one told the editorial staff at Marvel that the only reason people read Grimm’s Fairy Tales is BECAUSE of the cheesecake art. These women, like, don’t have enough dimensions for any demographic.
In the back of the issueMark Sumeriak tells a hilarious Tim Gunn superhero story. If you’re not a fan of Project Runway (and I realize, there’s not a huge Project Runway/comic fanbase crossover), it’s probably just as irritating as the first half of the comic. If you DO watch the show, though, Sumeriak gets Tim Gunn’s voice down flawlessly. And Molina’s art, while not exactly avant-garde, is certainly adequate enough to make this story fun. I mean, Tim Gunn Iron Man? Make it work.
Art: 3 - Good

Z level? Millie starred in her own book once for a long while. These are model Marvel characters that haven’t been used much, now being put into the Marvel Universe. Including Mary Jane at some point.
yeah. i agree with tim gunn’s voice. i was at tim gunn’s signing of the book. there are non comics people on the line trying to meet him.
Saying this book is only for people who are obsessed with fashion is like saying Iron Fist is only for people who are obsessed with kung fu. It’s just a fun story, don’t overthink it.
@ohcaroline: I’m glad you enjoyed it. Personally, I just didn’t find the first story fun, just kind of irritating. I don’t begrudge anyone who did enjoy it, though.
I’m glad you don’t begrudge them, but that’s not the impression your review gives, since it seems to be mocking the idea that anyone would want to read this book. Thanks for clarifying.
