DC's Rebirth!
So, I know I dropped off the face of the Earth in terms of updating my list about Marvel and DC's diversity (to be honest, it was mostly because I had trouble keeping up with Marvel since it cancels and announces titles at a breakneck pace. Blame Marvel), but now DC has announced Rebirth.
Let's see how Rebirth is doing (as of now) in terms of diversity:
WONDER WOMAN
BATGIRL
BATGIRL & THE BIRDS OF PREY
THE HELLBLAZER
CYBORG
HARLEY QUINN
BLUE BEETLE
GOTHAM ACADEMY: NEXT SEMESTER
SUPERGIRL
SUPERWOMAN
So, that's 7 titles (including Gotham Academy) featuring female solo titles/female teams, 1 solo title for an LGBT character (John Constantine), and 2 titles featuring men of color (Cyborg and Jaime Reyes Blue Beetle, if I'm not mistaken; 3 titles if you count Nightwing). Obviously, this list is excluding team titles and titles that may feature women/LGBT characters/PoC that I'm not aware of.
DC has taken a bit of a hit in terms of number of titles featuring characters of color and LGBT characters, which is kind of a shame. It definitely would've been nice to see a new Batwoman series, continuing Black Canary, Catwoman, and Midnighter, and so on. I do have to say, though, that it's exciting to see a new Supergirl series, and I'M SO INCREDIBLY STOKED ABOUT A NEW JAIME REYES BLUE BEETLE SERIES, GUYS. Plus, I wonder what the "Superwoman" series is about??
I do hope DC will announce more diverse titles for "Rebirth" as time goes on. It's not quite as diverse as DCYou, but I cautiously have hope for the time being. (And NEW JAIME REYES BLUE BEETLE OH MY GOD.)
