In the last few days, a few panels from Sensation Comics Featuring Wonder Woman #20—by Alex De Campi and Neil Googe—has been causing quite a stir online. In fact, it has already received more than 100,000 notes on Tumblr.
The reason for this massive amount of attention lies in one particular panel where Wonder Woman states that she has cellulite, just like many of us non-super beings—as this Tumblr user said so wisely, “if you ever feel bad about your body, remember that Wonder Woman has cellulite too”.
In addition to this empowering message about body image, the comic also touches on how female superheroes are treated differently from their male counterparts—for instance, Wonder Woman talks about how nobody ever ask male superheroes frivolous questions like, “Who does your hair?”.
