@plcphd @CrusadingColor True. This is a truly meaningful moment for the character. It give Stewart a different view on being a hero. #CrusadingInColor
@CrusadingColor This story gives us a John Stewart who is confident and cautious on the one hand and seemingly reckless on the other. Still, you can read his action as trying to protect and the writing places him in a negative light. #CrusadingInColor
@CrusadingColor Jordan's assumptions about Stewart are meant to address white skepticism. What is really interesting is the system (in the form of the Guardians) is telling it is ok. The story quickly seek to humanize Stewart. You can't hate anyone with a milkshake. mustache #CrusadingInColor
@CrusadingColor I think it is telling that Hal Jordan has trouble seeing John as a good candidate. He is overruled by the Guardians. Eventually his heroic prove him suitable, but clearly the comic wants to consider individual versus systemic wrongs. #CrusadingInColor
Turner Family Stories-> https://t.co/bo1Mtp4v8g from @vermontfolklife is available now. A comic collection inspired by #AfricanAmerican #oral #history. Grateful for the opportunity to write the introduction:-) @cssorg @SPOHP @MSUEnglish @CALMSU @Prof_Kennedy
@plcphd To me, this is one of the finest moment of comic storytelling. These panels are as much about the "idea" of America as Captain America. It become a commentary on the dream, which Coates reflect upon in his run. #CrusadingInColor
@plcphd They’ve often use slight details to call attention to the complexity around evil through visual cues. Looks at her eyes in this panel. Is that a US or Nazi symbol? #CrusadingInColor
@plcphd This issue goes out of it way to reminds us a dark and deadly history for African Americans. In some ways it goes by so quickly, but each panel is filled with a complex history that speaks to colonialism, slavery, and power. @MSUMuseum #CrusadingInColor
@plcphd I think she is meant to represent a communal understanding about injustice at some level. This scene in the kitchen highlight how often trauma faced by blacks are especially impose on mothers and wives. #CrusadingInColor @CALMSU @MSUMuseum
@SilasLapham @shengokai @plcphd I think the series makes it clear how racism is dangerous for everyone. #CrusadingInColor
