As always, the "Real Power" lies with the straight white folks

Remember this? The cool poster image Adam Hughes did for DC that he brought with him to April's New York Comic Con?

Well, DC finally got around to making some use of it (a few months after Johanna Draper Carlson and some of us have already had some fun with it), inserting it as some sort of badly-cropped house ad across two pages of many of their comics from the past week or two.

Unfortunately, for some reason they couldn't exactly figure out how to format it so that the entire image fit in the tennish-by-thirteenish inch space a double-page spread provides, and thus the result ended up like this:

You'll note that they had to cut some people out. And who did they decide they could cut?

Why, the black woman, the lesbian and the two straight women with bi-curious gay crushes on each other.

For shame, DC. For shame.
