To use any character so transparently is shoddy – I’ve been complaining for months about Mack’s under-use, which means the writers were showing me their bad hand this whole time – but specifically for such a milequetoast show to introduce another in its short list of incidental background black characters just expressly for the pathos of killing them off is the very spirit of tokenism. Of course the black guy dies first. (I mean, once there are no more lesbians.)
Oh, Agents of SHIELD, what the hell. (From here.)
SHAZAM
Writer: Jeff Parker
Artist: Evan “Doc” Shaner
Colorist: Jordie Bellaire
It’s Shazam versus Steampunk, as the world of Gotham By Gaslight takes on the Captain Marvel family and friends.
No matter what anyone else says, DC’s Convergence is now officially worth it for this 2-issue mini alone.
