Jun. 22nd, 2012 12:51 pm'I think it's because it's the gay marriage issue and because it's a white mutant with an African-American man. Something you don't see very often in the comics.' Chris Neary
He is right about the 'gay thing' in comics, Apollo & Midnighter, Batwoman, Sarah Rainmaker, Catman, Lucy in the Sky (The Runaways)
If you follow me on 4square, Facebook or Twitter that would be the same Metropolis Comix that I'm always checking in to.
