"This morning, Marvel notified retailers that the the next issue of Avengers, #71, originally due to be in stores next Wednesday will be delayed until October 15th, and its normal 'PSR' rating changed to 'MR' or Mature Readers due to adult content...

"The sexually suggestive scene in question relates to a scene with Hank Pym and Janet Van Dyne in bed, with the strong suggestion made, as a moist Pym is miniaturized and crawling up Janet's body from under the covers that he used his shrinking powers in a manner that was most certainly not related to crime fighting.

"The issue also contains a scene where it is revealed that long-time Avengers enemy Whirlwind beats up a prostitute dressed as the Wasp (Van Dyne's alter ego), confesses that he has always been sexually attracted to her, and then licks her face while she's unconscious.

"This is the first time a mainstream Marvel Universe title has been rated for mature readers, prompting some retailers to voice concerns that, if they are to be conscientious in the retail community, they cannot sell the issue to buyers who are under age, even if it means leaving a gap in their collection."

Oh, no--
