Some non A-list books clearly get more pushes though. Khan as Ms. Marvel, RiRi williams as the new Iron Man, etc. Ms. Marvel being the most successful newest superhero for them in recent times.
So it's not like that they're not trying to market at all and don't have a direction of what they want out there. Pushing big/crossover events one after the other is definitely their biggest modus operandi though, I agree.
I thought I was the only having this problem.
How are they all gone quickly or unavailable? My LCBS still has a #5 from last month on stand.
I didn't ask.
I see.
This is true.
NH's bloodthirst and beliefs has persevered in the current universe but the vehicle of commentary he provided in conjunction to the other superheroes around him back in Supreme Power was a compelling part of his characther,.
I miss NH giving people like Hyperion --and pretty much anyone that wasn't him -- the ether with straight badassery and no fukks given. NH is not a people person.
It's really the only instance of a black superhero being absoutely and politically
conscious of the fact that he's like the only black person out of a group of superheroes. And
very unapolgetic about it. It was GOAT. NH speaks to something that is just missing from other black superheroes.
There's actually a broader dialogue when you think about it when his militancy is in direction to
other superheroes instead of at general society like we see in his current book. It's sort of deconstructing the superhero genre (Sqaudron Surpreme itself is a deconstruction).
The panels you posted are powerful and genius because they simultaneously play with both the tropes of the typical naive liberal white person (colorblindness and "we're all one race! The HUMAN race!") and the paragon Captain America-like superhero notion of idealism and good will (saving people for the sake of saving them because they're superheroes and that's what they do).
And NH completely inverts it and deconstructs all of that.
In the current Squadron Supreme book, NH doesn't mention race or his blackness at all, which I suppose is fair since the original Supreme Power was published under MAX and written a decade ago by a totally different writer so the contex is different. (And maybe because the SS he knew are all dead and the new sqaud is made up of ones from alternate universes).
The speedster was Blur.
The funny thing about Blur was that he wasn't really much of a c00n. He just wasn't on NH's serious level of "fukk cacs"..
NH lambasted him to hell and called him an uncle tom, a house slave, and the whole nine yards.
He really hated the position Blur was in because he felt he was a docile, puppet, poster boy negro with a mundane power (superspeed) and felt he wasn't woke enough to realize his own status in the midst of it, and perhaps neglecting his potential greatness. Blur in his eyes was too soft and naive for his militancy. And he was the only other black person on the squad.
if he felt so strongly about Blur in this way, that's why I'm dying to see what he has to say about Blue Marvel or Luke Cage or T'challa or Storm or ANY of the black superheroes in a personal confrontation. Some writer out there has to be keen and intelligent enough to peek this out and make it happen. Coates already got The Crew up and running so it's about as simple as someone lie Coates being aware of NH and his history and starting something up.
Imagine NH getting invited to join The Crew.
He'll probably'll end up callin them super-c00ns.
Not about to have an incomplete set, or drive all over town to find the last issue.
