Okay guys listen to me.  foxyfussings drew my attention to this today, and this is actually a potentially really big deal. 

The Marvel COLOR series is a series of short run stories including Daredevil: Yellow, Hulk: Grey, and Spiderman: Blue.  All of these, including a prelude Issue 0 Of Captain America: White, were published in 2008.  But here’s the thing.  Despite the fact that the creators of Cap White say it’s an amazing story, it was the only one that never got its actual release.  

The other books are critically acclaimed, Daredevil: Yellow is on many “must read” lists of people looking to get into the comics after or before taking on an interest in the new Netflix show. 

Here’s the big thing.  The entirety of the color series?  Focuses on the love interests of the heroes and explores their relationships. How they met.  Significant moments. 
This article talks about briefly the other stories in the color series. 

Captain America: White is about Steve and Bucky.

I don’t want to jump to conclusions.  But those are the facts. 

PLUS:

–  The Captain America installment was delayed.  It was delayed SEVEN YEARS after a lot of hype, interests, and sales of the 16 page prelude Issue 0.  The other parts of the color series sold very well.    Why is it being released now?  Why not then? Was there controversy?

– I’ve read articles that said specifically they wanted this comic to be released before Civil War.  All five issues (this will be a five issue limited run) will be out before Civil War opens.

Dunno about you guys, but I’ve already got my copies preordered.

“I don’t want all this SJW diversity crap in my Marvel comics”

Marvel’s entire legacy is built on social justice issues and promoting diversity

Captain America was made by Jewish creators; a young boy with many disabilities who fought for his country

Magneto was a Jewish man who experienced oppression and genocide on a grand scale in his time imprisoned by Nazis

Spidey was a young, smart kid bullied at school who lived with his uncle and aunt and who lost a relative to gun violence

Daredevil was a blind, Irish Catholic lawyer who demanded justice for the oppressed and the belittled

Luke Cage was a black man in New York imprisoned for a crime he didn’t commit who impervious to bullets

The X-Men are a metaphor for any given oppressed minority group fighting for their rights 

The mid 2000s addition of Wiccan and Hulkling as a young gay couple 

The latter 2000s addition of Kamala Khan as a young Muslim girl superhero 

Diversity and social justice ideas built your beloved comic industries
