#black lighting

As of today, it's been 1203 days (approximately 3 years and 3 1/2 months) since DC published an ongoing comic book centering a Black character in its mainline continuity. I'm using this poll to bring awareness to some Black characters who I think could use some love. Fem edition.

here's what we sketched during this week's #Paleostream flocking

this week we sketched Dynamognathus, Juxia, Presbyornis, and Nimbacinus

I mean yeah, he and Dick fought before the convo happened, but no one actually tried to kill one another there.

This story was released shortly after Damian comes to Gotham, and the issues actually came out on the same day as the Mia story "Seeing Red", both written by Winnick. But this is apparently supposed to take place early in the one year time skip that happened right after UtRH.

So I guess we assume this is sometime shortly after Jason's recovery.

Even more curious is that both Winnick stories were released 6 months after that horrendous Nightwing arc no one ever spoke of again.

DC sure liked to rush Winnick back in to save him anytime another writer took him in a direction people hated to see- at least until the New 52 anyway...

Of course Dick is like "Fuck, of course it's Slade. Have to deal with him and Jay at the same time, what have I done to deserve this?"

So Jason was basically like "Ah hell... innocent hero is in prison for a murder he didn't commit, and Dick is gonna be all angst about it. Better go tell him- he can do all the heavy lifting about it and I've done my good deed for the year."
