Marvel has been recently criticised for taking out an 'erotic' Spider-Woman comic cover, it has been reported.

The superhero pose in the cover has been described as "blatantly sexualized" and a prime example of why people continue to think superhero comics are only for horny men, The Guardian reported.

The new series, by author Dennis Hopeless and artist Greg Land, has been set to debut in November, starring Jessica Drew as Spider-Woman and the variant cover for the first comic in the series by the artist Milo Manara, reputed for his erotic illustrations, was recently revealed.

Hopeless recently took to twitter and posted that they had no intention of blatantly sexualizing any of the characters in the story and she has no input at all on covers, moreover, she gave her word that the story treats Jess with the utmost respect.
