*Ice Man goes by* omg run it's one of those dangerous mutants, Ice Man, look how he doesn't fit in and we fear him because he's a mutant

*Human Torch goes by* whoo hoo Human Torch! Fantastic Four! The great heroes from New York, can I get a selfie
As a metaphor for living in a prejudiced world, that seems pretty spot on actually..

There's a strong argument to be made (and people more eloquent than I have) that Greg Land's porn tracing makes it impossible to create a compelling narrative with female characters, given that the ONLY emotion they can portray is "ecstasy".

So Greg Land often gets accused of tracing porn stars mid-coitus because of the odd facial expressions he's drawn. Has there been any concrete examples that have been found?
