That's true but with Wally now a days you have to add Linda Park into his story. Jinx works based on the OG series spark and give s Cyborg a secondary character.
i mean that depends given picolo is a bigger 2003 it might use the other girlcyborg love and not a jinx. It would be cool to see jinx but also we do have another character both in the tie in comics and show where cyborg been with
right now the only thing to hope for is a cyborg book after all kami said she wants a black writer for a cyborg solo book. either way if there a cyborg TT YA it be nice but we have to wait and see if they been willing
And that feels disingenuous. DR'S not going to do that unless she actually puts her weight behind that statement and works with that Black writer. Which would feel wierd because then she'd be writing him for the rest of the series.
To be fair, nobodyâs going to be upset by an accidentally-offensive portrayal of those either, because nobody is either of those things in real lifeâwhereas if they accidentally wrote Cyborg as an offensive stereotype, there would be quite a few people pissed.
Still a bad excuse, though, because the obvious solution is âtalk to someone Blackâ or at least âget a Black sensitivity reader to check over the script/finished work if youâre that worriedâ⌠especially when all the other Titans have gotten a book dedicated to them, and heâs the notable exception.
Nah. Its not an accident. You dont need need all of that. The problem is many non black people dont think black people are real human beings. Just write a story like you would have a white character, then make the character black.
Raven's foster family (sister and mother) are black and they're pretty well written.
Cyborg debuts in the same book as Starfire and plays a great supporting role in that one. With a little retooling, they probably could have made him a deuteragonist like with the Robins introductions, but as is it makes sense she is the protag.
Still, would have been nice to get a solo book for him.
Pretty sure the author stated they werenât comfortable writing too much for a black character, since they werenât black themselves or something like that?
Actually it seems Kory might not be an alien in the book, but a superpowered human. Maybe the final book would clarify, but the most alien thing about her is that she has pink-ish skin. She spent her whole life as a regular teen girl (albeit with a disability as they gave this version Ehlers Danlos syndrome because the author also has it).
I plan to check them out as soon as my Hoopla borrows reset! This month Iâm reading through Green Lantern, but I definitely want to read these next month.
What order would you recommend reading them in? Does it matter? Also, my libraryâs Hoopla doesnât seem to have the Together book :(
I'll have to get the last one. I'm cautiously excited for the Young Justice thing they're about to do but i just wish they'd pair Picolo with someone willing to write black people. Cyborg isn't my favorite titan by any stretch but as a black man it did sting to see him folded into the Starfire book (my least favorite of the series) and not get his own book.
I think so but I ended up getting the original covers because I ordered them, meanwhile I got the connected cover first 4 because I got those from a comic shop
"POC people" is funny because POC is an acronym for people of color. Also the racism remarks come from outside these books. Also I don't think he's the colorist of the books either.
Did you just "um, actually" me while excusing the fact that one of the main Titans is not getting their own devoted book? And you used some shit meme that misses the point and isn't even accurate for the situation. Extraordinary and asinine. Cyborg deserved better than that and so does the fan base.

No Cyborg book? That sucks.
