So Between DC and Marvel a butt load of our favorite POC characters had their books canned.  Let survey the damage with just the amount of characters we lost through 2011-12 campaign.  Have your 40 Oz. ready to pour out the liquor……

  • Daken
  • X-23
  • Black Panther
  • War Machine
  • Static Shock
  • Mister Terrific
  • Cassandra Cain
  • Ghost Rider (Those of you who didn’t know the Rider is a Latina now)
  • Spider-Girl 

That is a pretty depressing list, right there.

I’m very disappointed in the comics industry and community right now.

Ugh, yeah that sucks. There’s also OMAC (who is Cambodian.)

But X-23 and Spider-Girl are WOC’s? I thought they were white?

Spider-Girl, or more accuratel the most recent one, Anya Corazon, is Latina. Her book got axed real quick and right now she is supposed to be in the Avengers Academy, but not as a major character.

    The only thing on the list I’ll really mourn is Daken.

    X-23, although female and one of my favourite books (SO DAMN PISSED OFF) is a clone/daughter of Wolverine and not POC....

    You would be correct and I would even add Green Lantern Corps with Kyle and John.

    It’s kind of amazing that this list covers all the comics I’ve bought in the last 2 years or so.
