Then the trade paperback is filled out with some random six-year-old reprints of first issues from the defunct 'Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur' and 'Black Panther' series and a fifty-year-old issue of Fantastic Four that doesn't age that well. But this anthology is a chore to read, stuffed full of short stories of one to four pages that barely bother to even name the characters they are about much less do something meaningful with them. I love the concept: we should definitely celebrate and promote Black superheroes and comic book creators.
