Especially for black characters.
What do Miles Morales, Duke Thomas, Moon Girl, Flint, Jason Rusch, Riri Williams and Luke Fox have that Storm, Monica, Static, Black Lightning, Hotspot, Hardware, Icon, Cyborg, Falcon, Vixen, John Stewart, Steel, Panther, War Machine, Luke Cage, Synch and Brother Voodoo don't have?
ALL their appearances are in trades.
If I want to read about Miles Morales-I have every single one of his solos, guest spots, team books and minis to read as trades or online.
I can't do that with Static. Richie coming out, Wade's death, Static thinking about sex, the episode that became a Static Shock eps, Gil Kane's issue and the Lost Boys in Static are NOT in trades or online legally.
Priest's whole Steel run is not in trade.
Look at the upcoming John Stewart hard cover-they THREW crap together for John.
For the most part Marvel has tried to show Shuri as herself at least in the novels that they put out.
