Why do all the good black characters have to be killed? Why do all the good black chracters have to be from the ghetto?
September 9, 2007 at 9:31 pm
I know. Nothing good REALLY comes out of the ghetto…

Honestly, I think the answer to the question is really rooted in the dominance of middle-aged white guys in comic writing. Maybe Kevin (writing the newest volume) will give us the long-needed black voice for Thrash. Of course, that’s if Thrash is still Thrash, and not someone new being Thrash…
