See You in the Funnies
Well it's about time the comic world became more multicultural."At DC and Marvel Comics, new heroes are gay, black, Asian and Hispanic."
One problem I have with this sudden enlightenment in the comic world is their choice of what to do with the female characters. It seems one is being married off (Storm of X-Men fame) and one is nothing more than a baby factory - "Mother of Champions, who can give birth to a litter of 25 super-soldiers about every three days." Now that's gonna hurt.
There is hope though. Batwoman's new incarnation sounds like a fun gal -
"a lesbian socialite by night and a crime fighter by later in the night."
Imagine the possibilities.
