This. I've always loved how diverse Marvel casts can be-- Young Avengers, New Avengers, X-Factor, New X-Men, etc. All fucking amazing.

(Anonymous) 2011-12-09 06:51 am (UTC)(link)
I feel like the Marvel characters tend to be more true to their diversity, too. They're not just playing lip-service. The Falcon's philosophies represent what his life was like, the Young Avengers go up against white supremacists ("To be fair, they also hate gays and mouthy women!"). Monet was fairly casual and yet sincere discussing her religion.

(But, then, I don't really care about whose name is on the cover of the book, as long as the characters inside are interesting, sincere and heroic. I'm a lesbian woman. It doesn't mean I only want to see Karolina all the time because she's "like me". )

[identity profile] hako-neko.livejournal.com 2011-12-09 06:54 am (UTC)(link)
These are prime examples as to why books like X-Factor are being recognized and winning awards-- Because they support sincere representation and the characters are relateable.

(And I'd probably consider Xavin a more interesting POC/LGBT example than Karloina)

(Anonymous) 2011-12-09 07:19 am (UTC)(link)
I just really hope the cuts don't mean we lose that diversity and relatability. Captain America, Iron Man and Thor will always sell, especially now with the movies. While I am not annoyed by the lack of solo titles, the way the OP of this particular thread seemingly was, it would suck to see the good characters in the ensemble casts disappear because of whatever "budgetary mandates" it was that meant the end for X-23 and Alpha Flight.

(TBH, I don't even like Runaways and most of my knowledge of them comes from the two Runaways/YA teamups). I have been told that makes me a bad lesbian comic fan. ._. )

[identity profile] hako-neko.livejournal.com 2011-12-09 07:22 am (UTC)(link)
Absolutely. I'm hoping X-23 will end up back on a teen X-Men team (we need a New X-Men reunion; without Guggenheim shitting all over the concept). I'm mostly disappointed at the lack of a Ms. Marvel ongoing. I looooved her comic.

Also: Wtf Alpha Flight got cancelled? Wasn't Marvel bragging about how well that comic was doing?

(Anonymous) 2011-12-09 07:31 am (UTC)(link)
X-23 is supposed to be joining the Avengers Academy team, iirc. I wonder if maybe the April event is going to be used to rearrange the X-Men into new teams.

Nobody is quite sure what happened to Alpha Flight. It just disappeared, and Marvel was all "Uh, yeah. We changed our minds lawl!". But at least it was only about the ongoing. They're still letting the original mini-series finish, and Lente and Pak had always intended the same ending for that even with the supposed long-term series.

[identity profile] hako-neko.livejournal.com 2011-12-09 07:33 am (UTC)(link)
That's what I like about Marvel books. Even if they cut them off, they still allow them to finish. :)

April sounds.... interesting. I'm hoping it won't affect X-Factor negatively.
