personally, I like having some more street-level heroes.

The setup just worries me that this will just be a PC shitfest and not have any actual depth.

Oh well. If that's the case, then at least it's contained to one series and won't infest other ones

>revives the classic "Vigilante" character, a Golden Age western hero of the 1940s.
No its not, it's reviving 80's Vigilante.
DON'T like the retcon they're doing to Chase

>>87217825
>DC Comics' newest hero has an origin story pulled right from the headlines, with a young black man who turns costumed vigilante to investigate crime and corruption in south Los Angeles

The police are behind it. I saved you all 6 issues

>>87217825
>new character
>black

Wow who would have guessed

>>87218016
No, the big twist will be that Vigilante did it, but it was so traumatizing that he repressed all memory of himself doing it.

In the final issue, the "big bad" will tell him, "b-but it was you who killed her!"

>>87217825
>South Los Angeles
>Black.
lel.

>Shitting on the original vigilante by doing this.
Why not just give him a new name?

>>87217825
I really hope it sticks to the street crime level and not full out WE WUZ KINGZ that Black was.

Sounds like a Marvel comic.

>>87218124
I-Its okay when DC does it.

>>87217825

He doesn't even use guns!!!

This another Black superhero with eletric powers!!

>>87217825

Can't wait for the four remaining Adrian Chase fanboys start raging over this.

>Adrian Chase
Who?

>DON'T like the retcon they're doing to Chase

What retcon?

I didn't give a shit when they tried pushing out a new Vigilante around Batman RIP and I don't really give a shit now.

Referencing current events or being a sjw isn't necessarily the trait of a bad book but when that's pretty much all it has going for it, it's kind of hard to get interested.

>>87218016
The question is whether they'll actually follow through and portray the establishment as flawed, or if it'll be a "bad apples" copout. No pun intended.

>>87217825
I really hope it's good.

>>87218247
lol. nobody gives a fuck about vigilante.

>>87218071
>Shitting on the original vigilante

The cowboy?

>>87218453
Kuppenberg run?

>>87217825
sounds interesting

>>87218071

?whats funny? South LA is still mainly black people iirc

>>Shitting on the original vigilante by doing this.

There's been like five Vigilantes already, I think they're past the point of shitting on the original.

>>87218071
>Shitting on the original vigilante by doing this.
Kill yourself, casual. there have been several vigilantes since Chase.

So why does social issues and corruption in a Vigilante book has /co/ so triggered? It's not that they're doing it for the first time.

>>87218705

Because everything even remotely dealing with such issues is seen as SJW, which triggers people. I mean for fucks sake, people were bitching when Miller's DK3 had Batman beating up cops.

>>87218016
But it will be a Trump analogue who's behind the police!

>>87217825
>set in south LA
>all the bad guys in the background are white
I'm getting tired of this.

>>87218705
Because /co/ does not read comics. /co/ would've complained even if the Kupperberg run would've been published today.

>>87218794
Especially since in that part of the country, hispanics do way more to antagonize blacks than whites ever do
