Representation And Health 101: Retrospectives and Black Reimaginings

With the Representation and Health Black History Spectacular officially over, I decided to intently discuss this past month of articles, covering characters or themes I didn’t and looking to the future of Black representation in comics.

It’s another day in the final week of the Representation and Health Black History Spectacular! Of course you know today is New Comic Book Day, so I wanted to talk about someone who’s ongoing has a new issue out. She’s a very recent addition to the Marvel Universe.

Representation and Health 101: MR. TERRIFIC Michael Holt

It’s time for another Representation and Health Black History Spectacular! For this installment, I want to highlight a character I’ve thought was rather remarkable since I first read about him.
