  1. I'm said I wasn't touching the diversity argument with a 10 foot pole, but I have to chime in. As a minority comic book reader, I'm not buying Silk because its the first representation of an Asian-American leading her own title, I love Stacey Lee's art and the stories intriguing. The female Thor story has been amazing, Jason Aaron's whole run has been amongst the best in history IMO. I've always loved Miles Morales, but I didn't identify with him because we have similar ethnic backgrounds, I just liked to see a young teenage spider-man again and Bendis and Sara were pumping gold out of those books. Kamala Khan is one of the best new original characters, and to be honest I never bought Ms. Marvel titles with Carol Danvers, because the non-powered scenes were lacking, I buy Ms. Marvel for the scenes at home, a culture I know nothing about and am being educated on. People who think this is the PC police, or some mandate to make things diverse are completely making the point. They aren't pandering to minorities like me. Lets think about this logically, if you're a business, why would you try to sell books that are aimed at the minority of the population. That's not what they are doing, they are selling books that sell, and its not because of race or gender, these stories are intriguing, a shot in the arm to Marvel and the industry. And quite frankly going all the way back to the days of Golden Age books and before, are people seriously person_without_enough_empathying about diversity in comics after 60-70 years of 90+% White Male superheroes?
  2. AntMan was in development for a long long time with Edgar Wright, all the way back in 2003 being on board and other development for it being even earlier in 2000. So it actually predates the MCU.
  3. At least they're not making Deadpool a victim of the PC squad isn't he "dead" plus under that burnt skin they could retcon him to be any ethnicity really. i'm all for diversity in comics though, Marvel's doing it far better than DC. well lets face it Marvels doing a lot better than DC right now.
