Final Crisis gripe (no spoilers)
By: Rich Watson
Is it me, or did they make Darkseid’s human avatar Boss Dark Side look like a white guy? If you’ll remember from Grant Morrison’s Seven Soldiers: Mr. Miracle mini-series, that’s where Darkseid first manifested as a black human. One could argue that since he’s a capital-G “God” now, he can appear any way he wants, but it is still inconsistent with the way Morrison presented Dark Side in Mr. Miracle. (Then again, from what I’ve been reading on the message boards, Morrison appears to have written Final Crisis #1 ignorant of the events in Death of the New Gods and Countdown, so make of this what you will.) Also, Empress from Young Justice kinda looked white too. This comes hot off the heels of that pic of Vixen as a white girl. What’s editorial for if they’re sleeping at the wheel like this?
