He makes a number of valid points, although I'm surprised he didn't bring up the infamous Heroes for Hire "tentacle rape" cover that Leah Hernandez went after last year (I think it was last year; it might have been '07). That is an older example, though, so I think he may have just been focusing on new releases. With the exception of the Trinity cover, he's pretty dead on. I think the shot with Supergirl's bosom in the foreground was just poorly thought out and isn't intended to be cheesecake, but rather focusing on the Supergirl/Superman "S" on her chest, rather than her chest itself. Mind you, that is the stupid Supergirl costume, with the white bellyshirt, that DC made the artists change to because it had to match up with the cartoon (because, you know, viewers of the cartoon are stupid and can't tell that there are different costumes and appearances due to different artists), and it was designed pretty much for cheesecake's sake to begin with, so there's some inherent pinup ineptitude there to begin with.

(EDIT: Here's (http://divalea.livejournal.com/456637.html) Ms. Hernandez's LJ entry on the Heroes for Hire (or as she calls it "Heroes for Hentai") cover.
