No concern, in that we thought that when people read the story, as opposed to judging wildly from a piece of promotional art, they would understand the character.
C’mon Tom, don’t double down on a bad call. Red Wolf is insensitively portrayed in the context of 1872, and asking people to make wild suppositions based on promotional images is literally part of your marketing model. (Or were those silhouette covers for someone else’s Avengers and Inhumans books?)
If Marvel is bringing Red Wolf to prominence, and reinventing him as something other than a cliche, great. But sometimes Marvel makes mistakes. No prizes for standing behind them.
“in that we thought when people read the story”
People need to buy the story to read the story. If the story looks racist I’m probably not going to buy it. That’s how advertising works.
