It continued to be amazing to me, what a little shift in features and skin tones does to making me feel invested in a story. Also I just looked at the Coda, and SP looks... I can't even get into it. Just Thank You.
It's always surprising to me when I pull back and finish reading here, to remember this is all DC. Seeing SG in the Coda brought that up even more. They're as identified with white, middle class men as Feministing is white middle class women (het, cis, temp able bodied).
It's odd as well, how the message of fear of change equaling a shutting off to wondrous experiences and growth actually gets through, when every flipping person isn't white in a reflection of the creators' own fear of change.
