I hope y'all are currently reading MOSAIC (or at least tried a couple of issues to see if you'd like it). If not, well, then you can't complain about the lack of Black superhero comics when the company's publish them and there's no audience to support them...

I've been reading it. I picked up the first issue specifically to show support for a black writer. I've continued reading it because it's a good comic. Hopefully, Marvel keeps Thorne on for a while.

Never cared much for this Rage costume. Doesn't have much to do with the character. My favorite Rage costume is the one he wore after this one, the road warrior costume after his granny died. that costume screamed Rage.

I feel Brother Voodoo, Monica and Blue Marvel has A LOT of potential when it comes to gathering a big black comicbook fanbase and to be steady B-listers.

[616MarvelYear is LeapYear]

To me, the comicbook characters Brother Voodoo, Captain Marvel and Adam Brashear can become more in demand with a 3 issue limited series for each that has them battle the comicbook characters demon sorceress Lilith Mother of all Demons, Living Laser and the U-Foes.
