“Rebirth: Green Lanterns bringing Simon Baz into the spotlight from off the back burner and Jessica Cruz over from Justice League went a long way in my book, both for the diversity they brought to the roster of Earth Lanterns (Simon’s a Lebanese-American Muslim battling the label of “Muslim terrorist” in Michigan, and Jessica’s a Mexican-American with intense anxiety) as well as bringing fresh blood to the Hero’s Journeys in progress among the corps.”

If you want to understand why the recent Captain America is deeply offensive, you need to take into account the history of the character. @jessplummerwrites  discusses (and of course, there be spoilers ahead). 

(and YES, we know it’s a stunt. We know how comics work, thanks.)
