Black DC Comics fans whenever you point out DC don't give a fuck about them until February.

I hate that you’re right about this.
DC Comics needs to do better and stop being this way.

That is so messed up. Because there are good books and great creative teams. It says something to not have AT LEAST one book, with great characters in their roster and especially after success “Dakota Incident.”
Truly a blemish on a stellar run creatively & fiscally.

They're starting to learn. And what's wild is the other publishers are watching this shit play out too and making DC look worse.

It’s crazy work.
Mister Terrific was the breakout character from SUPERMAN.
John Stewart is gonna get his spotlight in LANTERNS.
You have TWO black teen Aqualads to use!
The entire Milestone line!!!
There’s no reason any of them can’t get a book or star in an ongoing series (How is John Stewart not leading a GL book?!)
Stephanie Williams gets Eisner nominated, worked on Dakota incident that went to second printing
Dc…crickets

They were quiet on Dakota Incident until that second print. Hate to see it. But that's ok... because now she's undeniable.

And then announced the whitest slate of comics in recent memory... during BHM.

It really saddens me too. I've always preferred DC as a whole and I'm not saying they're perfect, but there's so many rich and diverse characters they could EASILY make a thrilling solo series of. I genuinely can't figure out what's stopping them. Presumably, a lack of diversity in the company itself. It's really just heartbreaking. I appreciate your page though always pointing to wonderfully diverse indie stuff. It opens me up to larger perspectives

It is exactly that. A lack of diversity within. There's only one Black editor. And, to my understanding, no one Black above that position. But I'm glad I can at least reach through to some folks on here and get them to see what DC has left unexplored.

All I know is DC has from now till next February to show us the fruits of our labor or I don't think I'm going to be showing up on februarys for DC anymore
I'm tired of us having to do seven times the work to get scraps
Anything less than black the Milestone characters being front and center of the DC Universe is unacceptable
I expect next year's event to be centered around them

And I swear if they'd give the Milestone characters the Jace Fox in New York treatment, like, "Oh, they're active. They're just over there in Dakota doing stuff."
I'm going to be LIVID

As a matter of fact, make the next world's finest book Icon & Hardware
Give them the Batman Superman treatment
It's such a missed opportunity that they didn't let ICON step in as Earth's Major protector while Clark is gone
I love Superboy-Prime, don't get me wrong, but this is really ICON'S time to shine.

I can't say what I know but I'll just say this... They are scrambling to get something done to beat the clock. Like... RUN... NING... to beat the clock.

That just pisses me off that they had such little faith that Milestone characters could be successful
Just goes to show The Dakota incident was meant to be a February exclusive type deal until we blew it up
Their plan was probably just to have static Cameo and a couple books here and there and slap us with a one shot
Now they know they can't do that

It is true but I can’t stop liking it, DC has my favorite Superheroes, Marvel on the other side, has my favorite Street fighting heroes
Part of the reason I’m making my own comics. It’s not a fix, but once they are that the money is going elsewhere, they’ll notice.
This almost all nerd shit video games anime comic books etc but hey a Mr terrific comic after Superman should have happened tho
