I admit that I'm part of the nit-pickyness. For myself it has nothing to do with the race-swapping or the costumes, except for Dawnstar looking like Pocahontas in space. It more or less has to do with Bendis himself. His guardians run was really bad, his xmen run was worse, which is why I'm apprehensive about his take, sure he seems excited, and he's gotten a lot of positive responses since starting at DC, but I still expect him to drop the ball eventually. If it were Hickman or James Roberts instead of Bendis, and the race-swapping was still there, the response would be way more positive.
This legion team is supposed to be 34 people, maybe Bendis will include them.

Thanks.
Wait, wasn't this the origin they used for Tyroc? What happened later that made them change their minds?However, Vincent and Rickford had a much different origin in mind for Shadow Lass. She was intended to be black, from an all-black planet colonized from black people from Earth who left Earth due to racial strife.
Weisinger thought that the idea was way too controversial, but he said he liked the character and would try to work her in in a different fashion.

hey I know it isn't related to the thread but, could some one recommend some great comics to read? i'm just starting my journey.
Love that to calm him, he invoked superpowers!he works with special-needs children so he was able to connect with the little boy and keep him calm .....
Great sentiment.He was panicked. I said 'OK, we have to use our superpowers.' So he screamed 'superpowers' and we started yelling 'superpowers,'"
“Everything good that has happened to me has happened as a direct result of helping someone else,” Trejo told CNN affiliate KABC. “Everything.”
Also with that, I'd like to ask. Are there yet any ongoing main stream (Marvel or DC) titles either solo or on a team, with a regular, strong, positive, adult, male latino/hispanic hero?
Yes adult, male, in bold specific, cause I can't remember seeing this. Usually if any it defaults to either a young woman or young kid) where the mother is vaguely Latino, and the father (if adult male Latino) he is absentee, and never a hero)
Also preferably not a cliche involved with, or ex drug dealer or gang member, which seems to be another go to trope?
Just wondering, appearing regularly in a book.
Since Latino Americans are the largest ethnic minority, how well they are represented.
Like someone who hangs with JLA or Avengers, Defenders, or recognized as a regular positive recurring member on any prominent team?
Thanks!

When I was fancying myself as a freelance writer, gig here, gig there, screenplays was always the end goal and I wrote a partial treatment of a story- 20 years ago with Danny Trejo as my lead. It was a boardroom drama in fictionalized US (I was going for a Don McGregor lite version of things). When someone says that the only real times they see minorities is on TV, well **** that goes for some minorities too unfortunately. Dude has a HUGE black following, no shade at all he's our Ricky Ricardo for lack of a better reference. Antonio Bandaras was cool but he was too fly. Trejo in a suit, in a boardroom as a boss was something I would have bought into that I would have never seen outside of a telanovela. So long answer, no in TV or movies and hell no in a comic book.
Beefing up the old home security, huh?You bet yer ass.
In the 60's the Editors were mainly worried about pissing off Newspaper vendors Down South.
In the 1907's the DC Editor wanted to copy Marvel who already had came out with Storm in '75 and Blaxplotation movies were big at the time so they felt safer copying timely popular culture.
