New Mutants, New Teen Titans

I was reading New Mutants from the start and came across Karma.

At first I just wanted to know if the art for the Thai pirates in her flashback was really racist or they had really been gorilla men, but it turns out it was just racist.

And then I decided to read up on her. Who was she? What was her deal? I had only read the later stuff.

I found out she was a lesbian, she was Vietnamese, she was actually an adult with legal guardianship of children when she was a New Mutant, etc, and I was like 'gosh, why does no one talk about her?'

After reading her plotlines on the wiki I now no longer want to talk about her either.

Anyway, I've also been reading New Teen Titans and I still have no idea what Raven's powers are because even as she told the others what she could do she didn't mention half of what she'd already done in the comic including teleportation (empathic teleportation I guess) but anyway, I am enjoying them!

Wally is a lot more angry/angsty than I was led to expect by Justice League/Unlimited.

Also I am now firmly on the Cyborg train.

Also also I enjoy how Wonder Girl and Robin call eachother pal and are bffs.
