Swatchmen: Racebending Connor Hawke For Earth 2 (UPDATE x2)
Last week we noted how Earth 2 Annual #2 changed the name of the bad guy from Francesco Francavilla, the same name as the comics artist, to that of Falcone.
In this weeks Earth 2 #20 , we meet the character Red Arrow who James Robinson said would be named Roy McQueen.
Instead he was revealed as being called Connor Hawke.
Who, in the Pre-52 was the Oliver Queen's young half-white quarter-black quarter East Asian son.
Observant viewers will notice one immediate change in his Earth 2 recreation.
Two Kryptonians still to come…
UPDATE: DC Women Kicking Ass also notes similar treatment for Onyx…
UPDATE x2: Jeff Lemire has replied,
@vince_gattuso No.
