Minorities and Other Issues in Comics Thread/Community III

[Brandon McKinnis]

The cool thing about Graham Crackers is that they always load their 50 cent bins with good comics instead of just of the overprinted '90s crap that nobody wants. I actually pulled nearly full runs of Xombi, L.E.G.I.O.N, and the 5yr Gap Legion of Superheroes out of a GCC box, as well as a lot of issues of Grimjack, Nexus, etc. Last time I went to the Lakeview store, I found the complete Matt Wagner/Bill Messner-Loebs Silverback mini (Argent from Grendel's origin story), the Milestone Deathwish mini (which was one of JH Williams III's first professional books, although Jimmy Palmiotti's inks makes it look a lot like Kyle Hotz rather than the Williams III/Gray style), and bunch of issues from the '90s Hellstorm series, including a few Ellis/Manco issues.

I love Graham Crackers. I don't live in Chicagoland anymore but it's always the first place we stop when we visit my wife's family. It's my absolute favorite shop.

Is this the thread to start complaining about having characters shoved down our throats? If so, I submit Hawkeye.

[Vibranium]

no...this thread is about minority portroyals in comics and various other forms of media

Hawkeye is not a minority

Hawkeye is not a minority

He is when it comes to sales.

[Vibranium]

this is not the right thread for that....

Actually, this thread veers off-topic all the time, so as the thread starter, I will say that I don't mind the discussion about Hawkeye.

But though the only time I truly care about him is when he's mentioned in context with Bobbi.

I really just wanted an excuse to use the term "shoved down our throats" and not have it in reference to a minority character. Unfortunately, Vibranium did not see what I did there. However he did set me up for a nice zing. Thank you, Vibranium.

Youre not aware of the 'forced' arguments eh?

Are you saying that b/c of the latest Fraction news?

it just seemed to come out of left field is all....like I would have gotten the joke if it was somewhere in the Avengers forum

or if he asked "would it matter if Hawkeye was Mexican?"

[Kasper Cole]

Still baffled by how some felt Luke Cage was overexposed but not Hawkeye....

[Vibranium]

too many brown people scare the fandom

[Moose100]

He's too quick for ya!

The idea was Hawkeye will get 123422242432 series relaunches but if BP shows up in Avengers for two frames it's "forced"

Now this is a topic starter.
And I will say I am amazed at how BP and Luke (even NICK FURY--the black one) are called pushes.

But Ms. Marvel , and Hawkeye arent...

How many books is Barton in now??

Blade got none of that and he was in 3 movies.
Its ridic now.

but Im not angry..Its all LOL for me. I hope they come out with Hawkeye Cereal and Hoodies.
