The viability of modern Black superhero comic books is in a state of flux. Marvel has a few scant ongoing comic books with Black superhero leads. DC has had none since 2023’s I Am Batman ongoing series. This fact does not count limited series, mini-series, or one-shots, only Black-led ongoing series. Since 2023, there have been no ongoing series with a Black lead at DC. In early June, an advocacy group sought to stage a boycott to bring light to the issue but was unsuccessful.
Whether you care about the issue is not the point, not entirely. The point is that the importance of Black comic book characters is slowly being forgotten by some.
