Review and short interview about my comic

HEY KIDS, (BUY MY) COMICS!! https://www.mythworldemedia.com/store
A DC You series I liked was Dr. Fate. The Lead character's name was Khalid Nassour, he was half egyptian on his father's side. Kent Nelson was his great uncle. He was going to med school and trying to become a doctor before being chosen to wield the helmet of fate. Paul Levitz wrote the book, I forget who the artist was. Levitz did a pretty decent job on it, It reminded me of a more mature Ms. Marvel and I could relate to it pretty well. Khalid does interact with his family and his girlfriend a lot in the series.
Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah, the directors of Bad Boys For Life, Oscar winner Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, and The Walking Dead's Meera Menon will be helming the Ms. Marvel series.

Miles Morales (Ultimate Comics Spider-Man vol 2; 31 issues)
Jaime Reyes (Blue Beetle vol 7; 36 issues)
Robbie Reyes (All New Ghost Rider; 12 issues)
Khalid Nassour (Dr Fate vol 4; 18 issues)
Jason Rusch (Firestorm vol 3; 35 issues)
Virgil Hawkins (Static vol 1; 45 issues)
Sam Alexander (Nova vol 5; 31 issues)
Derek James (Sideways vol 1; 13 issues)
Those are some of my favorites, Jaime and Miles being the standouts in my view.
Thanks for the suggestions guys. I am reading the Ultimate line right now. So I am going to get to Miles soon. I will scope out some of the others as well. I am trying to expand my reading past just 60s and early 70s and Golden age Dc white heroes. i am also going to be looking into some good female characters.
This Post Contains No Artificial Intelligence. It Contains No Human Intelligence Either.
KOSLOX suggestions are very much on point. Those were the core Milestone titles.
Although, Blood Syndicate might be a little difficult because there's "gangs" stuff in it. It's not pervasive but the Blood Syndicate aren't altruistic heroes and the book is quite violent.
Watching Lovecraft Country. Maybe it's me but I found the racism much more horrifying than any of the monsters the main guys faced. And Courtney B Vance is turning into the black Sean Bean (wink wink).
All this being said, is there some edict that there has to be black male nudity on these tv series? Between Altered Carbon, Watchmen, Power and now this, I'm a little tired of seeing naked black men on tv.
Be kind to me, or treat me mean
I'll make the most of it, I'm an extraordinary machine
It's too bad they won't likely do the Tulsa scene since it was already touched on in Watchmen.
That shit was terrifying in the book and it doesn't involve any shibboleths.
The part where they have to escape the sundown county was also peak existential horror for me, but it had more of an adventure tone on the show.
Pull List:
Marvel Comics: Venom, X-Men, Black Panther, Captain America, Eternals, Warhammer 40000.

It's like any line, some titles weren't as strong but i don't know about avoid per se.
Those four would get you a pretty comprehensive view of the universe though.
I didn't love Shadow Cabinet, but that's essentially the Avengers/JLA of the Dakotaverse.
Also, Milestone Returns is releasing early next year, so you can check out the rebooted Dakotaverse.

Moon Girl is required reading. One of my old high school classmates buys the trades for her daughters.
I would offer the current Savage Dragon run-Malcolm his son is the lead. Now I will WARN you that is a bit too much sexual content at times (he has 4 kids-3 of them got concieved in a foursome.). Malcolm is half black due to his mother and his wife is Asian (and MAN does she have a sex drive.) Start with issue 193.I was wondering what are some good comics with minorities that not just focus on the hero but also the home life of the hero. I really enjoyed seeing how Kamala interacted with her family and those around her.
While not a super hero-Goldie Vance from Boom. She is biracial and I didn't know she was gay until much later on. It takes place in the 1950s and interesting no takes issue with her sexuality or her dating a woman.
Fence from Boom. Not really super heroes but a series that had LGBT content but it's never the focus.
Stealth which is ending next month from Image. A son deals with the fact his dad who has mental health issues was the hero Stealth.
Excellence.
Valiant's Shadow Man either one
Image's Prodigy-think Mr Terrific without the tech
Farm Hands
Bitter Root
Vault's Mall
Stronghold
Number 13-a book about a black cyborg
Valliant's Livewire
Relay
Vertigo's American Way 1 & 2
Vertigo's Unknown Solider
Watson & Holmes if you can find the trades
Dead Letters from Boom
The Man Who F#$#ed up Time (just ended)
Gasolina
The Fuse
Marvel's Mosaic
All New Inhumans vol 2
Steel although the family vanishes before Priest takes over.
Eve Ewing's Riri. More on the grounds of using who you have versus making more new folks. She took an old New Warriors foe and linked them to Riri. Which could help the New Warriors further down the road.
Honorable mention Doomed-which probably needed another 6 issues to fully explain baby Doomsday.
Kobalt is you must avoid one. Although Static appears in one issue (Jamal Igle's first book). Think a very grumpy Deathstroke being told he had to train his friend's kid-who is nowhere near Tim Drake's skills.Are there ones that I should avoid?
To me the ones in bold are required reading.Miles Morales (Ultimate Comics Spider-Man vol 2; 31 issues)
Jaime Reyes (Blue Beetle vol 7; 36 issues)
Robbie Reyes (All New Ghost Rider; 12 issues)
Khalid Nassour (Dr Fate vol 4; 18 issues)
Jason Rusch (Firestorm vol 3; 35 issues)
Virgil Hawkins (Static vol 1; 45 issues)
Sam Alexander (Nova vol 5; 31 issues)
Derek James (Sideways vol 1; 13 issues)
Static to me is this is how you do it without preaching or pandering and how a kid deals with powers and normal life. Tim Drake's Robin run was just the same.
