Dear DC ,
First off, I want to Applaud You Guys Whole Heartedly you literally EVERYTHING You guys are doin’ with these Black Characters .
Jace Fox in “I Am Batman” has me Glued to these Pages. And I continue to buy it (even if I don’t have time to read it then) because I’m that invested. Good Reading. Great Supporting Case. Only thing is, He needs his own name. Keep everything else (including the face mask cuz it was a Dope design choice ) and Give him his own name . I think this is a Bat ready to fly
Nubia is the most Shocking of them All. But a Pleasant One . Making her Queen (A Black Woman ?! Queen of the Amazons ?! ) Amazing . And I’m astounded by it . I’m not caught u completely. So idk if Yara is Involved a lot but I do hope so and I hope she finds her way back to a book .
Im glad to Know that Duke is SOMEWHERE in the DC operating . I’ve always like the idea of Him and Black Lightning being in close quarters with each other but He too I feel like is a Great Character. The Outsiders have always been a Diverse crew . So, I’m always glad to see that they have somewhere to be in this Wide Open universe.
And Lastly Cyborg was back at Titans Tower at the start of Infinite Frontier .
NOW TO THE NITTY GRITTY:
And I’m going to break this down.
THE OUTLAWS -
“Task Force Z is GREAT. I was completely skeptical of the idea from the Gate but Red Hood is one of my Top 5 favorite characters . I don’t know if people are really giving it a chance but I think this is One of the Sleeper Picks of the Infinite Frontier.
Artemis is another one of my favorite characters, though not in the same vein as Jason (because she’s not used as much for story), I CANT WAIT to read “Artemis: Wanted” because she is a character that can really bring so potent and hard hitting story to the world at large.
I bring these two up to say - PLEASE KEEP THEM ACTIVE AND AROUND. Even if they don’t go back to being the Outlaws, they are two characters I will personally always keep up with and buy and support. I’m really hopeful for where they go in the future.
THE TITANS -
GIVE CYBORG SOMETHING TO DO ! There is no reason Cyborg should not be out in the greater DCU handling his own mission and assignments. His time as a Leaguer and a Titan makes him the most Flushed out character of that Team , next to Nightwing. He needs his own urgency.
LETS FIX DONNA TROY . This Dark Crisis opens up a very big opportunity to move the DC into the future BUT it needs correction in a few given places. Donna Troy should I have JUST AS MUCH URGENCY as Dick Grayson in my eyes. She is an awesome character who has been dealt a bad hand , but it’s not a hand that can’t be fixed with the right set of cards.
MY IDEA: Put Donna, Artemis and Yara in the same book. Yara’s origin is established. Re-establish Donna’s and Artemis’ places in the world.
WHERE IS THE REAL CON-EL !? Why has DC thrown away Connor ?! I understand Jon is now Superboy but Connor should be somewhere in a book. Even if it’s just Action Comics , Connor should still be around .
THE FUTURE OF THE DCU:
I feel like this Crisis can open the door for a lot of Characters and Teams to be Reborn and brought back. Just like the Justice being morphed back into Continuity with the Golden Age of Hero’s is a prime example of just that opportunity. I HOPE that we see the World being more flushed out and more established with what’s to come. I CANT WAIT tonSee what the Future may hold
