"It even has a cat girl!" quipped Joe Quesada, during an interview about the change in style. "We've rated Heroes for Hire 'T', for ages 9 and up. As Japanese comics are becoming increasingly popular among young girls and boys, it's important that Marvel create family friendly titles that appeal to our culture's changing tastes in visual storytelling."
Either Joey Cheese is finally losing that last shred of sanity, or he's putting us on. And given the abomination he's made of Marvel Comics lately, I think it's the former.
Edit: Oh - and one more thing - marketing for girls? With THAT cover?? -Logan
