According to Milestone's official facebook Icon, Rocket and Static will be in Ricanstruction: Reminiscing and Rebuilding Puerto Rico. Denys Cowan is going to be working on so maybe he's the reason why they are in it.

Oliver Nelson
Who is Rocket?
Nolan Walker
>Not knowing who best girl is
She Icon's sidekick. She's from Milestone. She's been in the Young Justice cartoon. She's a awesome character.
Landon Robinson
>mfw for a moment I thought it was Rocket Raccoon
Anyway, tell me more about this Borinquena. Is she like America Chavez?
Michael Harris
wait, wait is that suppose to be America?
Ryan Sullivan

Jeremiah Garcia
Whoops forgot the cover
Charles Flores
No it's La Borinqueña
Cooper Hughes
wow great character design you got there, DC, let's just make Gambit a black teenager
great job guys
Michael Martinez
Do comics ever depict Puerto Ricans as white? Or closer to white than this chick? The only Puerto Rican characters I can think of Start at America brown and range darker instead of any being white like most of the population.
Justin Hernandez
>La Borinqueña
What's next, El Chicano? The Pinoy? Le Quebecois?
Chase Roberts
Does La Borinqueña have a comic series ? I haven't seen anything about her since she was created in 2016.
Jeremiah Morris
SPEAK ENGLISH ON Sup Forums YOU FUCKING FAGGOTS
Sebastian Walker
Well I mean she is a Puerto Rican superhero, so being irrelevant is pretty in-character for her
Lincoln Phillips
Eh, people like to copy success.
Jayden Allen
>, Gabby Rivera,
Andrew Powell
Hi again, Ladderbro.
John Kelly
They already gave us "El Gaucho". And he speaks like a peronist in this panel.
Nathan Hall
DC is jealous of America massive success and created it´s own caliente brown skin female latina superhero.
Christopher Scott
>Gambit
Who?
Mason Richardson
La Borinqueña isn't DC she's from another company .
Juan Collins
>Gabby Rivera
>nah the can't be true user is messing with me
>it's the CBR article
Christian Howard
Pathetic DC using a tragedy to try and get more readers
You should be fucking ashamed
>Gabby Rivera
And once again you go and hire marvel's unwanted trash
Austin Young
Not seeing a trenchcoat, and her tights don't have a weird pseudo-armor look to them. So nope, not a Gambit copy.
Juan Cooper
Despite the meme, pinoys arent actually the asian mexicans. We dont give a shit about representation in your political environment. Most of us dont even give a shit about your comics, beyond the MCU movies.
Adam Young
Why?
Charles Wood
Who the fuck is Gambit???
Christian Gray
I wonder if they're going to wear they're reboot costumes .
Justin Cooper
>MCU movies
Why are you a coprophage?
Robert Hill
Christopher Wood
As a boricua who went through Maria...I hope it's an anthology about these characters coming into contact with Puerto Rican culture or the island in their adventures. I'd rather not have people who didn't go through it or see the aftermath first hand writing hurricane Maria stories.
>gaby rivera
Goddamn motherfucking shit show me cago en la madre que la parió puñeta pendeja falsa que ni habla español
Ethan King
Don't lie, this guarantees you'll be at least looking at Sup Forums for a storytime of whatever she writes in that comic.
Elijah Martinez
Oh you just now realized DC is pathetically ripping off Based Marvel in a desperate attempt to stave off bankruptcy for a few more months?
Charles Torres
Why not? She kept Marvel relevant.
Adam Richardson
>Gabby Rivera,
>MI GENTE! Intensifies
Xavier Morgan
>Gabby Rivera
Sebastian Moore
If he was he would have said DC movies
Dylan Scott
>phoneposting
I know who's hiding behind this butthurt.
Isaac Cox
That's a good edit. Please tell me that's an edit.
John Lopez
Why do Americans need to raise money to help Americans recovering from a disaster?
That's literally the job of the government.
Henry Murphy
I'm digging that Icon suit completely. He needs that version.
Lincoln Scott
Shhhhh
>MUH PATRIA
Eli Smith
The government isn't doing their job to help Puerto Rico so Americans have to help Americans.
Oliver Nelson
>"La Borinqueña,” written by Rosario Dawson
>Rosario Dawson
... What.
James Hughes
No all americans are created equal.
These Americans on the island for example, don't even have the right to vote. It's not like their a group that has the power to effect change in the government if they feel unaided.
Connor Roberts
>superior chest and tiara paired with subpar boots and unsatisfying skirt.
Man, after 70 years they could have nailed WW's design. Also, what happened to puerto rico? did the Clinton fundation rob another country?
Landon Jenkins
DC ran out of brown people
Luke Bell
It's not it's real.
Xavier Jackson
Last anthology DC did was with IDW to help raise funds for the shooting that happened in Orlando IIRC in that book the actor Matt Bomer wrote a story. I guess it's normal for this charity books to have at least one famous person write something
Ethan Garcia
>DC ripping off Marvel
>Despite the fact that Rebirth saved DC while Marvel fell screaming in flames from SJW pandering
>Marvel's plan is to relaunch again as part of their ongoing damage control
I don't even regret answering this bait, faggot.
Justin Mitchell
>Marvel doesn't participate because they don't give a fuck
Sad.
Eli Davis
Bentley Gray
while I enjoy the second cover, they are all kinda boring.
also it triggers me you cant see the cape attached to any part of her costume
you know it's not
Thomas Morris
As far as Marvel is concerned NYC is the entirety of space time and it's got news, Irish Italians and some blacks in a place harlem.
Carter Hernandez
>LaBorinquena
I'm pretty sure there's an actual meaning to this name but for someone like me who doesnt speak the language, it just looks like its saying "the boring queen"
Owen Cook
why is she yelling 'It!' or 'That!' Can we please stop inyecting foreign words in otherwise normal english when someone not of an english country speak?
and why is a kid wearing a dr Doom mask?
Logan Scott
>dat feel when your phone changes jews to news
Elijah Martin
From Borinquen. Indigenous name for Puerto Rico.
Carter Hill
>Americans spend 2.6 trillion in Iraq
>can't feed a fucking island next door
Chase King
It's not even Spanish.
It's the name the taino people indigenous to the island had for the island.
Colton Martinez
>Literally mi gente
While wearing green clothes. I think that's a little Doom clone growing up in the DCU to put an end to that kind of shit.
Sebastian Mitchell
No idea who that is, and I am not saying it is a good thing but it's not exactly hard to see why a company would do it.
Connor Gomez
Iraq has oil though
Hudson Murphy
So... it's like Captain America was named... the Newyorkean. Or Bartroq as The French.
I guess that's why the named El Dorado like that in Superfriends
Liam Garcia
The taino people name the island the boring queen? Why?
Angel Fisher
I speak two languages and I can assure you a dont mix them in casual conversation like that unless I dont know how to say a word, in that case use synonims.
This stupid comics trend must be purged
Juan Powell
Yes because obviously the government has seen a return on their investment in trillions of dollars worth of crude oil, so it all worked out in the end.
Elijah Kelly
Puerto Rico wishes it was a actual country, so other latin countries would stop laughing at their de facto colonial status. Puerto Rico is Bizarro Cuba.
Wyatt Brooks
I too am watching Daniel Bryan's return user
Thomas Powell
Thanks Obamacare for that...
Oliver Jenkins
>it's okay when Marvel does it
>it's not okay when DC does it
Henry Adams
Julian Gray
Boricua independence when?
Angel Fisher
I'm the Government~ I'm the Government~ I'm the reason nothing works~!
Liam Nguyen
Wait. Are these special cover or trades? I hope if normal floppies they donate the money.
Bentley Walker
Please.
Instead of direct rule those other countries get puppet dictatorships installed by the US. They wish they had it that good, without the civil wars and rebellions crafted by the CIA.
Carson Carter
Every 4 years in the Olympics
Zachary Roberts
When pigs fly.
Noah Green
Sadly never because having a US passport is too convenient. A half of the Puerto Rican population lives on the US mainland
Jaxson Rogers
>spoiler
The ultimate test for the Rebirth Magic meme
Evan Turner
they don't have the fucking money to stand on their own
Owen Gomez
>Puerto Ricans
>Chocolate brown skin
Come on, unless your directly from/come from the Island or have black ancestry a majority of Puerto Ricans have lighter skin like heavily milked coffee.
t. heavily milked coffee skinned Nuyorican
Cameron Barnes
Puertx Ricx must be so proud
Andrew Morris
Not in this time. Back than you could do that, but now to try to leach popularity and dont come up with a new idea is just bland.
You can see over time how the perception changed. Deadpool was somehow criticised to be an amalgamation of Spiderman and Deadshot just 10 years later as Squadron Supreme. And now even Marvel, maybe more their writers, changed Squadron Supreme to be not a JLA copycat anymore.
Justin Wilson
user I...
Chase Gonzalez
>Gabby Rivera
Didn't she recently impersonate a Supreme Court Judge?
Owen Carter
STICC and THICC
Sebastian Cooper
Lincoln Peterson
I'm FROM the island. Not brown at all.
With my english people don't know im not white until I tell them. It's about expectation. If the character looks like Hal Jordan they'll say he can't be puertorrican.
Blake Sullivan
>A literal Quirky Rican.
Blech!
Nicholas Lee
Yeah but those countries by and large have a much higher standard of living than Puerto Rico
Leo Stewart
haha. no. 100% not allowed.
Elijah Wilson
Not most, not at all. And it depends where in the country you live, Latin American countries have huge economic inequality.
Have you even been? What do you think Puerto Rico is like? Ever been to Honduras? Or El Salvador?
Juan Brooks
any latino anons here? do you guys have an official country superhero?
David Evans
Dude, its charity
Benjamin Sanders
>Icon, Rocket and Static
Finally in comics again.
Camden Clark
Closest thing Puerto Rico has seen. Featured in a newspaper strip for years.
Ethan Nelson
Thank god for the Internet. Now I can read my hate fuel with out paying these hacks a cent.
Christian Wright
how new are you?
Rosa been working the nerd prom circuit since the Kevin Smith days... maybe even longer than that.
Matthew Cruz
>the nerd prom circuit
I’ve been reading comics for 20 years and never once heard this expression.
