Yet another "lost tribe" plotline from DC, all too very similar with Thao-La and her group of Kryptonians. I understand DC is looking to ride that diversity train but could we get just a tiiiny bit of originality, is that too much to ask for? It gets points though for using one of the most ridiculous-but-in-a-good-way villains from DC, Gentleman Ghost.

I've been criticized by some idiots here for saying this book is basically a Milestone one. There's a page in this issue that I think showcases exactly that so I guess I can say I'm happy I'm being proved right. But what got my attention was that Malcolm X was presented as a victim of racism and his death a casualty of that. Now I have no doubts Malcolm WAS a victim of racism during his life but his death was decidedly NOT a casualty of that. He got killed by Nation of Islam which, you know, wasn't a very friendly organization towards whites. So we have here yet another attempt from a comic writer to rewrite history to suit his cause. It's a disturbing pattern in the industry lately. Also, while Marcus Garvey was indeed a key figure in black history, he was a self-described fascist, he even went so far to say he was the first fascist before Mussolini, which of course was crazy talk (in his defense, he did realize his mistake after Italy's invasion of Abyssinia and condemned fascism), and he even collaborated with KKK in an effort to push his black separatist views. If you want to change the future and make it a better one, start by presenting the past how it was, not how you would have liked it to be, Chuck Brown. more
