That Invisible Woman statue is hideous. Interesting how these statues so often fail to successfully translate from the original drawings.
The background drawing, even though I think it's too sexual for the character, has a light, even playful touch. With the statue, that's been translated into a hard, slatternly look.

It's an okay "eye-candy" statue to me, but I'm getting more of a "some blonde bombshell cosplaying as the Invisible Woman" vibe from it, instead of a "Sue Richards in a flirty pin-up style pose" one... A little bit Pixar-ish too, if you know what I mean...
Personally, I think the Bishoujo statues from Kotobukiya have done a better job of "going manga" with the Marvel gals (well, to my eyes anyway).

So far! With Rogue and Black Widow, they are starting with two characters
who are already overtly sexual in nature. If they do Sue, then we'll see if
they "get it"!

Kotobukiya should do a Bishoujo version of Aurora first.

That's not too bad. Wanda is tricky. Something far too many artists and writers miss is that Kirby and Lee created her as a very demure character. Altho she wore a traditional "skin tight" costume, she covered herself from neck to toes, and even wore a voluminous cape that could be called upon to hide even more.The Bishoujo version is perhaps a little overt for Wanda -- but not too much. And certainly not as over-the-top as the Invisible Woman mess.

I'm liking that statue of Wanda! And Aurora would be a pre-order and have me counting the hours until the release.

Back a few pages, to the sneak peak of Bowen's Guardian of the Galaxy, I have it on good authority that Cap's Shield on Vance Astro will be removable.
Thank god.

JB ... would you be mad at me if I, well, sort of swipe one of your drawings for a commission piece I'd like to do?
It's the absolutely perfect pose I would want for this character.
If you say yes, I will totally go with something else ... but I REALLY like this drawing.
