Luke Cage is referred to as a Buck many times, but always by the criminals.<br /><br />The whole thing reads like a blaxploitation movie. And, the way that Cage acts around women is ridiculous.Teynorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17083598931444218805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1243661303845968536.post-54981649030890099572011-02-23T08:30:43.948-08:002011-02-23T08:30:43.948-08:00I was putting the finishing touches on this articl...I was putting the finishing touches on this article when news started to trickle in that Dwayne McDuffie had passed away. <br /><br />McDuffie was a remarkable writer responsible for at least two of my favorite series, and a tireless advocate for wise and realistic depiction of under-represented ethnicities, cultures and gender orientation in comics.<br /><br />So, while this article wasn't written as a tribute to Dwayne McDuffie - and while I won't be dedicating it to him, on account of it's an inappropriately flippant and vulgar article (welcome to my blog) and he deserves better - I'd like to encourage you to check out <br />his body of work AND ALSO this biting and infamous zinger to the Marvel editorial staff regarding their high percentage of skateboarding black superheroes: http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/2008/01/17/comic-book-urban-legends-revealed-138/<br /><br />I'd also like to suggest you take Tom Brevoort up on his rather grimly named "While They Live Wednesday" project, designed to encourage fans to let their favorite writers and artists know how they feel about them before it's too late: http://bit.ly/gJNsva<br /><br />Thanks folks<br />-Your Humble EditorCalamity Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01800364546694770009noreply@blogger.com
