Diversity's fine, but like anything else in a story, you can't force it. You have to let it develop naturally, rather than ramming it down reader's throats like DC feels it must. Frankly, it bespeaks their lack of confidence that minority characters can fly on their own. Sure, there are relatively few minority heroes in comics, but that's a natural result of the medium having been written for a certain audience for almost 70 years now. Creating new characters is the way to go, rather than changing existing characters just to meet an arbitrary management goal. Though evidently DC feels themselves not up to that task, and hence the short-sighted short cuts it feels it needs to take. In general, it feels like they've abandoned solid story-telling in favor of cheap gimmicks. It's rather ironic that perhaps the most critically acclaimed, and certainly one of the most hyped book of the prior decade for DC, New Frontier, probably couldn't get published these days there, precisely because management's issues would get in the way. Honestly, throwing grimdark and outreach by fiat isn't really a plan. Good stories that advance DC history mixed with new creative input and new characters are a plan. But then DC does seem to be embarrassed about its history and tradition, and thinks a return to 90s Image story-telling is the answer. |

It feels like... it feels like? There is no question... they have LONG SINCE abandoned solid story-telling for cheap gimmicks. The whole New 52 is a cheap gimmick. The problem is that it works. We idiots buy the stuff. So they keep making money. So they have no incentive to stop doing it. |

My Wally pitch would sell more books than this lame reboot. |

Not me. I switched to the smaller publishers since the reboot, with an occasional DC buy to check things out. Which is down massively from preboot days, even the darkest days at the end of things DC. |

But he's gonna be the new "fan favorite character" and future booty call of Harper Row. |
