I was going to post this over in random links, but maybe it merits a conversation.

Do you think the turn to female and ethnic characters is what's hurting sales?

I'm inclined to think it's the way it's written, not the gender or color of the skin. For example I hated the Clone Saga because Spider-Man wasn't Peter Parker (even though it was still a white dude who looked exactly like Peter) yet I loved Ultimate Spider-Man where Spidey is a black kid. The only way I can explain that is that one story was simply better than the other.

Thoughts?
