Yup. Even the New Warriors back in the day was Marvel trying to PC it up. (Like a rich inner city black kid is going to hang with trailer trash or hillbillies...) |

But again, if a major point of the story is the character's attempt to be a teenager, a superhero, and a Muslim, why is it a bad thing to put that fact front and center? |

I forget Carol is almost Daredevil level of bad luck sometimes. I didn't read Ms. Marvel or Captain Marvel but does anybody brings up the Marcus thing? Or even the Alcoholism? I can't remember the last time she was referenced to having a drinking problem. Maybe 1 alcoholic on the Avengers is enough? |

But yes, they're totally selling it as a teenage, female Muslim character. This I have no problem with as long as it's well written and not preachy. It's a great topic to be explored and I would love to see this character's reactions and interpretations of other characters in the Marvel Universe; especially the mutant characters. I have no clue what percent of the comic book collecting community practices Islam but it can't be that much to support a title on its own. So the book is going to have to have a broader appeal. If there is one drawback I may have, it would be my dislike of Carol Danvers. But she is a popular character and an Avenger, so it makes since having a young character look up to her. I'll check it out. |

I didn't appreciate Air at all (hated it), and I only skimmed Cairo. Her writing is not for me. |

IIRC, you don't like Kelly Sue DeConnick, either. I bet you hate Gail Simone's work, too. Ergo, you are a Punchy-level misogynist. |

Not true, I like your wife just fine. |

I like DeConnick! |

as an official Marvel shill, you're contractually required to, so no surprise there. |

I liked her 3 or 4 issues of Supergirl too! Pretty Deadly was OK. Anyways, just saw that ADRIAN ALPHONA is drawing this, which changes everything, I am in. |

The trick is to make sure they don't get preachy. |

And the first thing I thought of was...

When you put it like that it’s not so bad. The sketch made me think of the guy in the Galaxy Trio. I always thought he looked goofy when he made his hands big.
