Will DC Comics’ New Gay POC Hero Go Over The Top?

September 20th, 2011 by Arturo

At this point, editorial support doesn’t seem to be an issue for Bunker. DC co-publisher Dan DiDio had told The Advocate in July that the company planned to introduce a new LGBT character; of all the changes involved in DC’s revamped continuity, the sexualities of Batwoman, Apollo and The Midnighter have been left untouched; and at least one more upcoming series, Voodoo, will feature a bisexual creole protagonist, though there’s already concerns in the blogging community about how her career as a stripper will be presented.

On his blog, Booth does at least offer one positive sign for Miguel’s development: he won’t be the comic relief. But what he does become, and if he sticks around if/when DC reorganizes its’ continuity again in the figure, are still very much up in the air.

    Just to mention, Voodoo isn’t creole. She’s not human. She’s an alien ex-slave working with her enslaving race and stripping in her slave-identifying uniform. At least, traditionally – reboot will rework as it will.
