>>114164714Yeah, coming both in the middle of the forced Inhumans push AND the forced diversity push basically killed him out of the gate. His book was fine though and the twist of basically his entire identity being crafted by his greedy, glory hungry stagedad (meaning he'd have to figure out who he is through his adventures and living other lives) was good.
But, well, he was a black Inhuman in the middle of a forced diversity push and a forced Inhuman push and a new character in a market totally hostile towards new characters. He never had a chance.
>>114164843Alpha's yet anoter example of someone taking one of Slott's shitty ideas and making lemonade from those lemons. His mini was pretty good and I liked him as a hero who actually was trying his best but he was a dope so he just kept fucking things up. If this were the 90s he probably could've gotten a solid 12-24 issue run, especially at late 90s DC. Real shame. Fialkov was a good writer but he just got sick of dealing with editorial bullshit and bolted from the Big Two altogether.
