You obviously didn't follow the link to the Frank Miller drawing for Wonder Woman (http://www.newsarama.com/dcnew/July06/Batman/AllStarBatman_RobinCv5.jpg), which really is that extreme. The post was not a response to covers generally, but a subset of comic book covers that actually is more extreme than what you apparently were aware of.

Not that I'm hiding behind politics here. Because who doesn't like nutsacks?
