So I'm just about caught up on all my amazon trades and was looking to venture in to some new books.
I've yet to read any of the Lion Forge books but it looks like I can get up to speed pretty quickly. My question is how inter connected are all of the books, and what are the standout series?
Also, I was checking out a book called Destroyer that looks pretty interesting. Anyone read that? Worth grabbing?

If you mean the one written by Victor Lavelle, then yes I'd recommend it. But I should also add my recommendation is based on not having read the entire series since my shop stopped pulling it for some reason, and I've yet to order the rest of the books online. All that to say the series might drop in quality after the first couple of issues, for all I know...

Speaking of minority villains, whatever happened to Moses Magnum? Originally Posted by mr_crisp

Yes, that's the one. Based on the Amazon listing it appears to be a take on Shelley's Frankenstein but also tackling modern social issues? Is that pretty accurate? Originally Posted by G. Boney

I thought Noble was pretty decent. It features a powerful black hero and a diverse cast. I'm a little surprised more people don't talk about it. Originally Posted by Things Fall Apart

I liked Abbott from Boom studios a lot.

Sorta, the social issues are more implicit than explicit. It's not like the main characters are out to get drug dealers off the streets or anything, it's more read between the lines stuff. Originally Posted by Things Fall Apart

I think other writers don't use him because he's an X-Men foe ( despite having fought Luke Cage and The Avengers) but the X-editors themselves don't seem to be too interested in him. Originally Posted by Username taken

They should have guys like him and Count Nefaria become multi-team foes. Originally Posted by ed2962

The other issue is that he got his powers from Apocalypse but he's NOT a Horseman so he never shows up when they do. And the Horseman show up a lot. Originally Posted by ed2962

Yes. Dr. Frankenstein has a black female descendent whose son was murdered. The original Frankenstein monster is involved in the story as well. Originally Posted by Things Fall Apart

Black Hollywood was a poor start with folks continuously running back to the plantation to ask for help. We need to truly and this is the last stand support each other with no last resort. I have been deeply critical of Black folk on this and other post and blogs because we seem to be happy with "Cliques" such and such help such and such so they move forward and create and folks state oh yeah see that progress. No we need to fund your project my project her project their project and move forward all by unknowns.
The woman behind HBO Girls gets the "it's her bleep and she can do what she wants" when folks question the lack of POC in the show.
Meanwhile Dear White People gets attacked. As does other shows by black folks who show more diversity in one episode than most shows do for an entire run. WITHOUT being asked to.
Where were all these black folks for Get Out to be made? What about for Milestone? Lion Forge?
Oh that's right they are attacking black creators like Kwanza Osajyefo-who dares call out a certain someone for his antics. Who called out this messageboard and anyone else who doesn't buy his books.
