In the era of comics blatantly using scantily-clad, half-naked heroines to sell their books, Codename: Knockout seems to be just another comic in the seemingly never ending slew of titles relying on sex and girls to propel sales, and I have to say that after reading the first 10 issues or so I hadn’t found any reason to dispel those accusations.
I mean, sure, the storyline and characters in that Vertigo title were all interesting enough, but the fact of the matter is, it WAS a story centered around scantily clad women, and in that regard, Codename Knockout succeeded very, very WELL!
Sexy and half-dressed girls is the modus operandi here, and not one single opportunity is missed to show the girls prancing in short, SHORT skirts, bikinis, and lingerie, and no character looked finer than Anita Manaday, The E.V.I.L. Agent who uses (what else?) her awesome powers of sexual seduction to “break” the men laid before her!
