I find the move to relaunch the book with the same writer refreshingly fetch, and determined.
Hopefully, it finds the same kind of success Carol got with the most recent Captain Marvel relaunch. Interesting times to be a comics fan. *cheers*
I see what you did there.

Anecdotally my former house was married to a man for years. She didn't know she was gay. In her words she married the best man she ever met and just couldn't make it work because of her sexuality. Total denial. She's was in her early 30s when she came out. Some people find it harder because they want the conventional life. That was actually one of my issues with Sina Grace's run. I thought Bobby being closeted at this point in life was on him, not on his folks. I thought the blame was too much shifted on the parents when I thought it was about Bobby himself not them.
Except we have seen Bobby’s unfiltered thoughts for decade. Thoughts proving his genuine attraction to the opposite sex. And like I said, it’s disrespectful to the creators who didn’t intend this. I feel the same way about racebending in reboots and adaptions. You’re disregarding the work of the artist in the creation of the character when you do that. There are legitimate evolutions of characters, but they all respect the character’s past portrayal and the intention of the creators.
