There’s no point in us asking for and then celebrating the release of female ongoings if we’re going to sit silently as sales fall and we don’t buy them. I mean, if we can’t make Storm succeed, then why should Marvel announce more?
I’m torn about this (It’s from the CBR message boards), because I get the point the poster is trying to make, but at the same time, I find myself wanting to dismiss the argument and thinking that the answer to “Why should Marvel announce more?” is as simple as “Why shouldn’t they?” Even just the question implies that white male leads are a default setting, which shows a limited/limiting idea of the potential audience out there.
