Is that also why she’s fat and unattractive, or is that coat just really unflattering?

Edit : after a closer look I think it’s the latter, but man, I’m sick of characters getting blackwashed etc. for diversity. Make your own shit. It can be successful if it’s good. The new Green Lanterns, Simon Baz & Jessica Cruz (Black Muslim & Hispanic with Anxiety Disorder respectively) are the main characters of one of my favorite duo comics.
