* Tony Isabella gets into the issue of cross-race and cross-gender "casting" of superhero-story characters. It's interesting to me because of Isabella's history with trying to broaden the diversity of the overall character base, and because he's the same age with a lot of older fans who think these complaints are legitimate. They really aren't. They're corporate properties, and they're going to be used to greatest profit, whatever that is. A great thing is that in the case of many of these specific changes, there's a huge advantage that accrues to the work because people, particularly younger people, benefit greatly by feeling represented on the page in a way that has been and continues to be denied a lot of people.
