Girlz 'N' Games webcomic #75: Abs of Justice

-

Hot, bare man flesh on display... It's time to take a shot as part of the Girlz 'N' Games drinking game!

There honestly isn't much to explain about this comic. Basically it's inspired by the very recent casting news that The Proposal, Blade: Trinity and Van Wilder's Ryan Reynolds and The A-Team and The Hangover's Bradley Cooper - both of whom mix buffness with comedic skills and buckets of charisma - will be teaming up for a as-yet-untitled buddy cop movie. The film will be set in San Francisco, which does kind of ruin Erin's bromance fantasy (although perhaps a few gay gags will sneak into the screenplay?). Personally, though, when I think of buddy cop movies, my mind always drifts to beaches, palm trees and Hawaiian shirts billowing open... so that's what you've got here for this specific beefcake fantasy.


Speaking of which, kudos to the Hollywood movie exec who thought to combine Reynolds and Cooper. You've instantly secured yourself a drooling, heterosexual female audience who'll want to watch this action movie along with the guys. Clever move!

Anyway, let's end off this post the right way... especially since in just 9 months we'll be seeing much more of Mr Reynolds when he runs around in a skintight Green Lantern outfit. Boys, you may want to look away now, lest you succumb to a serious case of Men's Health-style body dysmorphic disorder!

Is the rebooted Lara Croft gay? Evidence for and against...

-

As some of you know, I’ve been fangirling hard over the new Tomb Raider , the first entry in the video game series since 2008, and ostensibly a reboot for the entire franchise . Taking the form of an origin story, Tomb Raider 2013 depicts the events that transformed a beautiful, if bookish, archaeology graduate into a pistol-packing adventurer with a devil-may-care attitude. We meet Lara Croft as a pretty, fairly ordinary 21 year old, brooding over her work notes, listening to her mp3 player and very much confined to the shadow of her male mentors. By the end of the game, however, she’s taken charge – she’s had to! – and, battered, bruised and bloody, she’s both a survivor and hero, right down to rescuing the princess and carrying her away in her arms. Yeah, this is probably the best point to mention that there will be some Tomb Raider 2013 spoilers in this post, so read ahead with caution. Anyway, I loved the game. Technically it’s near faultless, it looks beautiful, the ov

Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and Queer Icon (Part 4)

Part 4: The mystery of Lara Croft’s sexuality “Now what’s a man gotta do to get that kind of attention from ya?” – Larson Conway (Tomb Raider, 1996) Despite being an icon for many queer pop culture consumers, Lara Croft’s own sexual orientation remains ambiguous. Outside of the Top Cow comics and live-action films – where Lara is blatantly heterosexual, with a fondness for slightly scruffy bad boys (who keep betraying and hurting her) – the character comes across as primarily asexual. Kurtis Trent is the only male figure who even comes close to being a love interest in the game series. Lara's apparent sexual disinterest is despite the adventurer appearing very sexually attractive herself; a figure of desire with bee-stung lips, voluptuous breasts, toned stomach and impossibly long, athlete’s legs. Yet Lara is never dominated by sexual yearnings or romantic affections. She is very much in control of herself at all times. It’s worth noting, however, that over time th

Ladies I Love: Part 2 - Rhona Mitra

Following on from the first post in this series , you may realise that I have a very definite type. Anyway, today we profile model-turned-actress Rhona Mitra . This 36 year old Briton is of English, Irish and Indian descent. You'll have seen her pop up on the big and small screen multiple over the past decade and a half, although Mitra's claim to fame is that she was the second ever model (some say first if you rule out "unofficial"  Nathalie Cook ) to play iconic video game character Lara Croft . From 1997-1998, Mitra could be found in PR material, as well as at trade shows, events and conventions as a flesh-and-blood embodiment of Tomb Raider 's kick-ass archeologist lead. There have been many official Lara Croft models over the years , but as far as I'm concerned Mitra remains the best. In my mind, of all of them, she most closely resembles the video game character in terms of facial features. Plus she comes from money and had a rebellious boarding
