>>100220331Anon, I would be a pariah on /pol/. I don't mind the fact that she is black.
What bothers me is I knew if DC gave the scorpion Bendis a ride across the river on its back, he would sting them and they would drown, because that is his nature. For all the reasons I worried about Bendis taking over Superman, not even taking an arc to establish the tone of his universe, he is doing what Bendis does.
His AC #1000 was Bendis-speak laden trash with Superman jobbing to his OC who could have been any of many existing characters who he is going to retcon as being responsible for his demise.
Here he is introducing a new female OC that immediately comes off as someone who is replacing Lois in the newsroom, which with no subtlety suggests that there is a possibility that her being Lois's replacement may not end there. You may think I am overreacting, but as I recall, the last artist before Bendis that DC advertised as coming to DC from Marvel was Jack Kirby, so don't think DC isn't letting Bendis get away with a lot.
The anger isn't that there is a black character. The anger is that for all the reasons Bendis has been shit at Marvel for years, he is demonstrating that he isn't changing his stripes or naature, and that damn near guarantees that his Superman run is going to be as complete shit as we all thought it be when it was announced.
