My favorite thing about this character is that his afro is his mask. So. Black Superhero History month is over. My pal Jason helped me compile this list, and it was not terribly easy and leaned very Marvel heavy. Not a lot of really great black heroes out there. I mean, there are, but man, …

391. Falcon
It just occurred to me I’ve never read a comic with Falcon in it. It also occurred to me that he sorta became the main character of the newest Avengers cartoon, and that he’s awful in it and that show is fucking terrible. My interest in Captain America 2 just took a dive. And this …
390. Misty Knight
One of the Daughters of the Dragon, she’s a Hero for Hire and, like, one of THE supporting characters of the entire Marvel Universe. I’ve always enjoyed her and Coleen Wing’s appearances and their DoD mini from around 2004/05. I was really looking forward to drawing her all month, so I saved her for the …
388. Mr. Terrific

387. Cloak

386. Sentinel
The other black guy from Youngblood. If I remember the 1st issue correctly, he was the leader of the “away” team. He’s basically Iron Man. I looked up reference, and the guy had 90 different armors, depending on the panel he was in. But I saw a cover where he had an eyepatch, so I …
384. Patriot
Enjoyed this character’s turn in the original Young Avengers run, but I’m not sure what happened to him afterward. Speaking of America, I watched American Hustle. Some really good acting couldn’t save this movie from desperately wishing it was a Martin Scorsese film, and in the process forgetting that the unlikeable characters and convoluted plot …
