Thanks for the correction! As I said above the only reason Jakita is not on this list is I've never read Planetary but I'm really glad people are throwing her name up in the comments.

I confess the only reason Jakita is not on here is because I have not read Planetary. Many friends have recommended it to me I just never got into it. It might be time to give it another try.

You're are absolutely right! I adore this trick of hers.

Also Pantha was ah-may-zing.

While I definitely want to see a diversity of features across all characters, I'm hesitant to call the women "white women colored brown" simply because black women have a huge diversity of features across the face of this earth depending on a lot of factors. I don't want to classify any features as more or less…

I did not mean to slight her or Gwendolyn (Saga) I think both characters are awesome but they just didn't really come to my mind when I was writing this and that's probably pure personal bias. I also think that for the most part I was focusing on superhero comics which maybe just means I need to do a part 2!
