"The Times piece recaps the sometimes bumpy roads comic books have taken towards diversity - including DC's 1998 series The New Guardians, "

Hey New York Times? Let me let you in on a little secret. "The New Guardians" (which was from 1988, BTW) was a horrible trainwreck of a series that most comic book fans consider to be slightly less noteworthy than stuff like "NFL Superpro." If you're going to cite something with homosexual superheroes in it, cite "Watchmen" or "Astro City", rather than a series that had 3 out of eight members of the team infected with the AIDS virus before the end of the first issue.

Whoa. That almost sounds like as bad an idea as Super Globetrotters.

That actually happened? Holy cow. I know it's make-believe, but how could you possibly be a superhero while maintaining that pill regimen?
