The Other History of the DC Universe #1 by John Ridley
5.0
To be quite honest, I find this issue rather weak compared to the previous three issues.
Renee Montoya is a gay Latina police officer whose parents are undocumented immigrants. I was wondering how that these facts were going to work itself into the narrative, but unfortunately they never really made any such impact. We only get a bit of lip service to police misconduct and brutality but for the rest of the issue, but the rest of the issue, it never pops up.
This issue felt a bit more like an issue of Secret Origins or Who's Who, with the lack of focus on the real world politics that shaped the then-current piece of the DCU. I would dare say that compared to last issue's history of American anti-Asian racism or the two issues before that about anti-Black racism, this one treads the waters of being apolitical.
There's no statements that can be constructed to be part of ABCA (in fact, Montoya has few problems with her partner committing police brutality), no talk about the history of gay rights and the police brutality against queer people that created the Stonewall riots nor of the racism inherit in the ICE government agency.
